I Hate Animal DumpersOur dog is relaxing for the first time in almost eighteen hours.
The interloper is finally gone.
She is so relieved; I have never heard her sigh this deeply and we have had her for seven years.
Yes, I am referring to the bulldog-pit bull mix puppy that...

Building Tension

______________________________________
I ultimately rule over these stunning valleys,
Elm trees with mossy brows line the alleys.
Where distant peaks arise, calm and azure,
Akin to the strong tripods used...

Moving the SpiderLittle spider dear
Why did you make home here
It's flyless I'm sure
Not due to you, but my efforts more
Why not get involved in the action
Of cultivating wing mirror traction
They do so very well indeed
If they can endure the speed
But I'm afraid you'll be placed outside
I...

Pointing FingersYou are one of the reasons
Why they inflate their quote
If you had seized the seasons
Good men could have had your vote
You are one of the reasons
Why our sweet land has gone sour in waste
Here is one of your multiple treasons
You aid corruption just to suit...

Road CarnageROAD CARNAGE
It was on early Monday, when a car ran into a truck,
It ran into a stationery truck, and they had no luck,
It was a ghastly accident, the four died on spot,
“They all died drunk,” said the report.
The Monday incident, was still fresh in our...

You Can Never Go HomeYou can never go home
You’ve heard the phrase
But take my advice
It might number your days.
Take a lesson from me
For I’ve learned it well
My so-called aunt
Is a demon from hell.
To say that she is family
Is a stretch I won’t make
She’ll beg you to stay,
Then swear that...

And many things we have to decide
Not having anything we should hide.

The Search To Find the Edge of the IceThe Search to Find the Edge of the Ice
They say moss doesn't gather on a stone rolling, in motion,
And even wise algae gets left in the wake,
Of a proud ship, foresail dipped, rising upon an ocean,
Yet what of the movement of cold, blued, polar ice,
Where...

Having Things Due Is Doo DooPayments on my credit card and rent are always due.
Power, water, gas, and those horrendous phone bills too.
Borrowed books I’ve not yet read soon are coming due.
Maybe I can find some time to read them in the loo.
Also it’s that time of year when all...

Our World Is CryingOur planet is weeping, and faith is at low and vacillate.
A severe risk as a result of the global warming challenge
Concerns have arisen as an outcome of a wavering climate.
It is not due to hairspray or baby oil; it's our fate.
Rapidly melting Arctic glaciers...

When Truly, Deeply Lost and One Has Faith One Is About To DieWhen Truly, Deeply Lost And One Has Faith One Is About To Die
Alone and defiant I stood staring into death's icy face
On a knife thin ledge, slippery on a high cliff's so out of place
Panic stricken daring to pray for courage and hopeful saving out
