In that hidden mystery I call my mind;
There are places I seldom go;
It’s in these places that my soul often cries out;
Perhaps in likening to the wolf that howls to the moon
     While my heart beats it’s irregular rhythm;

**A WINNING POEM**


That night, my heart pleaded i should
Wait over and pass the night at grand pa's 
Old inn.
Enormous was my concern to reach home 
And see Constance La France.... the rambling poet.
About "create your own form, may be?"
I embraced the night and darkness mingled...

Her name for now, I wish to conceal
And when I make my case i will reveal
Well then, I hope we have a deal

Combing the streets of the suburb, I've always thought ideal
Mostly, it helps my shattered and dejected heart to heal
Once in a while I...

The smell of wood smoke drifts through
The air with no presence of mind to settle anywhere
Except on the clothes of old men who struggle to 
Open tin cans with the anticipation of a child with
An unopened gift.

Cardboard schemes and wooden things create
Shelter for the menagerie...

Narrow and shallow shining laser focus 
     into chasm while teetering on brink
akin to scurrying thru microcosmic burrow 
     of microscopic Manhattan skyscrapers 
     wink'n nod and blink,

Figurines


Lace up your shoes
Wear your black hoodie 
And your Timberland’s, too
You’ll never know what ‘ll happen to you 
Or where you’ll end up
On your way home 

Your ancestors have walked this land
In shackles and in chains 
And labored for but one cent
Their names have since...

I look up from my post, lying on the floor
Questioning the cracks in the ceiling above me
Likening them to my recent history
Stretched from end to end
Wall to wall
They mimic my life
Like jagged scars
A life-line transcribed
From palm to plaster
Split here and there, seemingly without rhyme or...

darkness invites
bringing out the self that matters
(free of all the chicanery brought on by daylight)
inside the lit candle light
(painting only part of the face, allowing a subtle beauty
illustrated like standing neath’ the full moon)
flickering &
with a handshake of darkness
unlike a politician’s fakery
comes the shadows behind...

Your love is likening a bed, at home;
With four posts as legs represents the world you see;
And the sheets on top are the skies, (blue skies)
God you are the bed  I want to lie in;

Covering my lot, filed with trues;
Your the blanket that keeps...

I gazed upon the familiar dirt road, partially submerged in the narrow ditch. 
Every inch of its hardened surface was damp to the touch, causing my lips to tremble with uncertainty. 

The darkness that surrounded me felt imbued with mysterious enchantment, reminiscent of soft white...

The first glimpse of this radiant creature, unraveled mind's clarity 
Enchanted fairy tale innocence, God's miracle gift, 'tis rarity 

My heavens opened, likening the world stage parting the red sea 
Innocence so lovely angel's sang chorus of my heart felt melody 

Curled flowing raven locks,...

A reporter balked at his assignment for the week.
Too insulted to keep quiet, he complained, “I’ve never talked
to a grain of sand before!”  “Yet, you must become meek
and DO it,” was the response. To the beach, he walked.

He zeroed in on one insignificant (he...
