Best Looms Poems

A cold lion roams, doctrinaire and sterile,
The expanse of Africa offers him no sanctuary, the Saringehti no salvation,
He can only smell the scent of his pride now, his cubs shun him,
Repelled by needless roars, the revolting rants,
Tail tattered, biten by jackels at will,
His nose bit...

Shadows darken the way

Hecate, a guide, has presided over my dreams. 
Moneca, it’s vital essence, but a stagnate stream.
Love upon tattered wings  - nowhere to fly,

You think he’d be more grateful.
Neither rich nor poor he’s

Little rubber bands
colours all abound
make something unique
break new ground

There you are

When you are wrinkled, and old and grey 
And resting in your reclined chair 
And when silence looms and warms the air

We see it in the sun
A symbol of hope and beauty
A laurel proudly won,
A tall and stately statue
To lift the soul's despair
Clothed in strength and valor

The length of darkened valley
Majestic mountain spans.

The tension's palpable; nerves are frayed
   Editors hit the ceiling
      At mistakes never...
