A Forgotten AngelA FORGOTTEN ANGEL
Who was she? They wondered
No one knew her name
Where did she live? They wondered
No one ever saw her playing
How old was she? They wondered
Did she have any friends?
What happened? They wondered
Will this travesty ever end?
Who hurt her? They...

Ant SenseWhen I was a young child I studied ants
I loved their formation on ground and plants.
Like tiny soldiers lined, disciplined well,
They worked hard all day, from what I could tell.
Their strength was awesome, things they could carry,
Never wasting time, all day they'd tarry.
One time...

The Myriad Colored LandCrowned with a tiara,precious white,
crashing at the heels turquoise tide.
here all known colors exude through ,
at every step diversities brew.
The winds of past,
would forever last.
waltzing around the weaver's needle,
or reverberating through the artisan's chisel.
through the mystic roads,
clad in saffron robes.
saints chase the ultimate solution,
--a path...

Pet-Sit PanicsMost households have in USA pets
A hundred million cats and dogs
Other pet types include
Aquarium fish and bird
Most content in home environments.
I got discontent with a content cat
We turn to friends or neighbors
For help to short timer
Or to pet-care giver
All options, not optimal for each pet.
I...

Where there is encouragement, love and laughter - There is family

hurdles hopped, mountains climbed,...

2020 Has Been a Strange YearTwenty twenty a very strange year
From March onward most living in fear
You will all know what I'm talking about
COVID 19 I hear you all shout
It all started in the far East
Gaining momentum like a ravaging beast
Isolated pockets and countries locking down
As corona virus swept from...

Ode To MothersMothers, like mine,
the rarest of jewels.
The givers of life;
extending a guiding hand
to their children, leading them
to a beacon of light
when lost in the dark.
They're a constant presence
and support system, rain or shine,
through success or failure.
Mothers,...

Ode
When We Need CompanionshipInsufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness
is also
more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,
climatic cultural change
in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.
So which do we continue to commit to?
Insufficiency of deductive, reductive, Win-Lose knowledge?
Or inductive gathering and...

Serenade Me, Julius La RosaSerenade Me, Julius La Rosa
His striped tie has a green tint color
And his hands are dark and bulging with blood.
I can see them gripping the steering wheel like parrot talons.
I can see from all the way up here
That one of his...

One Autumn NightThe distant horizon now in passionate embrace of the sky
There are the stars, dewy wet; benignly conspiring to woo the pasture
Trodden for eternity by poets and lovers, the purple mist rises high
The rivulet flows amidst the mystic blue woods; its rapture
Overflowing all ages, all damp...

Pictures of a Good FatherWhen it comes to being a good father what do most young black men see?
Can they picture their fathers passing down any legacies?
Do they remember any male bonding or talks on how to be good men?
Do they have any perceptions or even...

Dramatic Monologue
Restoration TownsI was skeptically listening
to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;
An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.
But, I found myself agreeing with him.
He is retiring,
in part,
because he is tired...

The Shuns of LifeTHE SHUNS OF LIFE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
This poor bloated woman, after nine months of inflamation
Dropped me off at the maternity ward, a brand new creation
She ejected me without a second thought or hesitation
Unburdening her of guilt and pain and utter frustration
Being slapped from the, git go,...
