Mi have a serious problem with you young people that have no clue about our history or our culture. 

"Mi nuh wear tablecloth like Miss Lou".... Dear Lord help the clueless... Send help father God if yuh nuh busy

Veteran's Day
Tattered uniforms washed with borax and sunrays 
still house the bulging proud chests of older youth
Who uncompromisingly gave away their modeled freedom
For un-apathetic ideals buried deep within the gabardine

Many found unknown treasures beneath their teenage joints
Some gave all and the deep rest welcomed them...

The Godly green grass grows gently as it greets the great giant garden...
The green giant garden generously gives gifts of gazing glimpses glistening...

The green goblin guilty gawking garnishes the gamma rays...

The green geometrical leaves gather gangly galore...

The glittering glossy green gem glows glamorously...

The green gabardine...

Captain MacEvoy
Did hunt in corduroy
But the zipping kept on tipping off the game.
He never bagged a deer
For they could plainly hear
His trousers, loud and clear, as he took aim.

He never understood,
While hiding in the wood,
How deer could tell whenever he was nearing.
And they would jump...

What’s going on at the Co op
Its been cordoned off, with some tape
The police have a ten strong contingent
Was it robbery, murder or rape ?

We telephoned Lynn cos she works there
But it turned out she’d had the day off
She wasn’t too well, by her voice...

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as an old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction, albeit toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting 
(think feeble attempt 
impersonating plumber plunging - 
unclogging backed up toilet), 
flushed with satisfaction,
now snakes into following non sequitur,
whereby then upperclassman,
whose name Scott Lambert

I...

Brexit Sonnet No.20
‘No More Hell-Broth’
 

Our Brexit bringers are cross with their leader ‘tis said,
Confidence lost with their gabardine dream of last year.
The model’s moved on, but distress on how they are led
Is causing them angst, with some pain; even fear.
Kindness is due to the...

Adding black to light the green
above the swirl of scale
Talons  bare in shining sheen
Accentuate  the  curl of tail
Half open eye of iris red
Flat wings of gabardine
Brush holds in sudden Elvish dread
The artist has been seen...

HERRINGBONE HEMMED

Surely she was a tailor born
Altering me with her alluring nature
And silken thread coaxed through the eye of a needle
Each stitch rich in rewards of grandeur
Every inch sewn by a hand with instinctual care
And woven when the woman willed it so

I stood before her...

Cloaked in Their Untruths
By Sy Roth

Behind a cloak their little secrets roved,
Like silent, swishing vagrants eluding the truth
The darkness so thick,
A wall of impenetrable secrets built around it.

Leaving the unclosing to callow youth 
Senseless in their wasteful trepidation,
They took no time to explore their truths
Dressed...

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting
attempt impersonating plumber
(think unclogging toilet)
please support your local bummer

back in the day one
long haired pencil neck geeks palled
around with another 
hirsute nerd - Roger Kummerer,
(who both of...

The latest news about the Chess Grand master told the web space
That he joined the Independent University.
It took me to the referral of Time “Epoch,”
As the time travels through the walls of Jerusalem that boasted about 
God chosen people and Godforsaken people
As the power club...
