The Figurative Nail Hit On The Hair Strand Size Head!
Though no physician,
this aging baby boomer
absolutely, intuitively, and
unequivocally sensed hair loss (mine),
at first a speculative rumor
not simply in my (ahem) head,
no matter a minimalist groomer
nevertheless, thinning follicles,
upon dawning realization, sans medical
sought relief...

Life is just token
given by God for courage.

What Shall We Celebrate TodayWe Americans are very creative when it comes to conquering malaise,
By founding specific times in which to celebrate any wacky craze!
Legal holidays are well established and we honor Father and Mother,
But each day, week or month we lionize some silly thing or other!
There's a "National...

A Wrested Weather - Virelai
Spring winds blow their sound,
Winter now is bound.
Knees in,
Melted, sludgy-browned,
Green peaks through the ground.
These in,
Nature's own impound,
Exiled now, grave mound,
Squeeze in.
Snow tries to reason,
Get one last freeze in,
Surprise!
Vernal, yet weazen,
March smells a treason,
The lies!
Mad by degrees in,
Arrogant season,
Reign skies!
Hasten Cold's demise,
February spies,
Be drowned.
Viridescent eyes,
Vegetation rise,
Be...

Bombay MissilesFrom the eyes of Shangri-la and words indited in bulletin
spoken by bellwethers and imagery on broadcasts
Felt the passing of breaths and federation menace.
The scourge abided by cause of hooliganism
By a group of libertine,
Held, ye plot to an affright baker’s dozen bams.

Pass punitive laws policing polluters
Keep chemicals from killing crops like corn

Segregate and shun smokers of cigars and cigarettes

Gulliver's FriendA man wearing funeral clothes
Tongue tied, an unspoken tryst.
He smiles, like an affectionate holocaust
A quadrupedal wood, the locus
of a hoover act.
An assigned peacemaker painted
Over the Judas kiss.
And the one in a dress
I dont pray,
Nor his cousins are my prey.
So i return, my oldest friend
He bulids...

There Was No Noble SavageI sometimes hear a stubborn myth,
that before Europeans came
the locals of America
all lived lives quite peaceful, and tame.
The old trope of the Noble Savage,
that somehow manages to persist,
polls show a disturbing number
of people believe in all this.
And with it come these shibboleths,
that still leave a...

Once Pawn a TimeOnce pawn a time...
About four plus weeks after
frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters
white knight still mourns swindled money
Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator
(assistant to Philadelphia attorney general)
unable to recoup forfeited funds.
While holed up in castle keep,
(albeit fetchodit fuming father
cursing out blimey scamming creep),
I replay nightmarish scenario
that disallows...

The Game of the YearIt's the game of the year
A contest for the ages
In attendance are celebrities
Government officials and sages
Ceremony, pageantry and pomp
As the gladiators get ready to stomp
Onto the field of battle, to contend
While we mortal onlookers pretend...

Check Out TimeWhen the motel decays,
gets weathered,
and the electricity frays,
when only one letter
on the marquee sign works;
when you're beleaguered by
the weight of the world
on your shoulders;
when the loss of those close to you
construed to isolate you,
to lionize you as the king of loneliness,
to inhibit your...

Delicate Strands of SoundFlanked by violets and similes
in a drafty den she pens
away fleet hours, pensive, concocting
exotic brews of rarest essence
and scents, honey-tipped phrases
in secret rhythmical chants
known only to denizens of her
innermost sanctum, where...
