Best Neophytes Poems

Late,
 the morning glories rise
 passionate, royal, magenta blooms trumpeting,
 helloes and goodbyes;
novice neophytes falling 
into lavender blush dream states
succumbing to a mellowed change in weather
 cooler days awakened by pale aging sunlight
 soft, restless breezes 
 in the trees shedding leaves;
twilight for the foliage...

I was born unto a woman and a man, and a government,
this was the Trinity, these were my employers,
entrance into this magical melee was acknowledged with a certificate of birth,
and with nefarious numbers, debt digits,

from my parents i received sustenance, shelter, and a satisfactory starting...

In a midland Drive-In, ‘neath an August moon. 
The feature was “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”.
Sat two young kids, with young passions hewn.
Young at love, just neophytes,
Just being alone was their pure delight.
She was my brand new Queen of the dashboard lights.

She was a...

I’ve Been So Lucky in Life! (1&2)
(Only Raped 5 Times Metaphorically)

Poem’s Introduction
My poetry has always been about transparency. It’s about letting go of an effort to be liked by others, and allowing others to gravitate toward me (or not) based on who I am and...

...dedicated to my sons, Keir and Evan


Truth is a two-edged sword, 
you will be cut by nonsense 
and by circumstance, my sons, 
full blinded to its darker side 
you'll drift in seas of innocence, 
carefree as two neophytes 
with all the answers pending, 
daft and...

Mission known for fine hand weaving.
Chosen site left priests not leaving.
Neophytes were seen believing.
Bay's close, great crops.
Sickness leaves now no one grieving.
Soldiers made stops....

Truth is a two-edged sword,
you will be cut by nonsense
and by circumstance, my sons,
full blinded to its darker side
you'll drift in seas of innocence,

Once upon a time an esoteric rhyme
poked through space-time into the sublime
Conjured by a reclusive alchemist 
and a phenomenal fabulist

Then there was the hairy apothecary
in cahoots with the counterrevolutionary 
Simultaneously exhorting the masses 
To disrupt and unify the classes

All while the medicine man full of...

Poetic neophytes are not necessarily young.  I am 65 and have only been writing in abundance since age 62. A door opened and feelings came attached to words that made a painful past real yet beautiful. My heart beat for everything and everyone. Thus,...

'Twas a boring days of October
When I viewed you which reconciles 
The prestiges of mine.

You incurred myself a neophytes
to prosperous prestige,
Incurred me with an inducement,
to be degree holder.

Yet, amazement rush,
Between you and me,
Six-annum surpassed.
Nevertheless, 
Even friendship is futile,
To both of us!!!...

Another Sunday morning
Crouched in the beam of headlights
Steam coming off coffee and breath
Fumbling to pin race bib to pants

A romance
Of sorts; this dance I’m addicted to
Those magic numbers: 5k, 13.1, and
The boss lady: 26.2 (I’m coming after you)

But why? Friends ask
You’re crazy they say on...
