Best Ploys Poems

The cruelest of all villains lives on Mount Crumpit
for when it comes to Christmas, he says, "Dump it!"
He keeps trying to "Pooh pooh" that sacred holiday,
but so far everyone's efforts have kept him at bay.

Oh, he's a real mean one, that monster, Mr. Grinch
A devilish...

"More Spongebob, Mimi"--this I hear
        a dozen times a day.
        How much more can I stand to see?
        No more of this, I pray!

Let me tell you what I’ve found, my brother.
The nice guy is the one that’s the struggler,
because the ones who are not, take it for weakness,
and slyly, cowardly, go in for the jugular.

Please spare yourself and don’t try to explain it,
Those cowards court evil like...

Today I seek the sun,
it's gentle painless play-
words of winter warmth
spur me on my way,
away from death wish,
daily things gone wrong.

Today I seek the sky -
empyreal blue bowl
that stretches thoughts so high
above an endless flow
of clouds caught carrying
this season's rain and snow.

Today I seek the...

Lovely blossoms of bougainvillea
Under a moonlight serenade 
Ostensibly I contemplate the root
Of the affinity drawing me to you
Abiding fighter and bounteous lover
Rendering your essence freely
For the love of the gift
Candid without a care
Asking for less than nothing really
A few drops of water enough for sustenance
You...

As along our long life journey we sail
We all do encounter belied expectations 
Feeling of deep hurt results from betrayal 
Our shrivelled heart writhing in contractions 

The hurt needs healing so we go to a healer
Who examines blotches in our aura field
Looking grave is this...

Retreat within as stillness comes,
Seek the unseen as silence sums.


Put away toys from earthly plots,
Discard vain ploys and senseless thoughts.


Go deeper still to depths unknown,
Watch a wise will align soul' sown.


A still voice speaks with finesse kind,
Calmness now peaks true peace of mind.


The true heart...

I spent a night in Somnia
which put me to the test
The lodgings were luxurious
but I could find no rest

They said it was a quiet town
I fell for all their ploys
And all the stupid sheep I tried to count
made too much noise

Minutes ticking into hours
All my...

In the Dark Silence and Late

 At the enchanted hour when the night turns a ghostly gray, 
clouds slowly swirl in anger billowing a dense suffocating smoke 
choking the dim moon. All the insects and birds shy away. 

The beast crawls out from underneath the...

Monsieur L'Vampyre Meets Santa Claus
I'd settled in to embers glow
all tucked in wool to warm me right
with wine from vines nearby that grow
to help my mind in getting light
and lullabyed by winds that blow
from South of France, they blow all night.

Pliant, pleading flesh,
Exposed, over exposed, recesses.
Sheath of wonder, pain, poise
Full of sensory joys.

Held in, held up, dis played;
Cherished birth, God gifted days.

Living, longing flesh,
Envelope of humanities rest.
Convoluted cause of distress,
Immediate source of redress.

Held in, held up, dis played;
Cherished birth, God gifted days.

Encircled, enclosed, re formed,
Vehicle...

Chart your firm cause with heart that knows,
Align your heart with mind set free;
Use primal force to set the show,
Soar as you start to truly see;
Explore the way that seeds fond space.
Affluent with peace that lovely call,
Nurture each day the dream you trace;
Deed follows ease...

~No Matter If You Are Black or White~


     Nor, if you are yellow or brown... 
     God does see, all the good and bad we do!
     He and only He, will grant you...

These are the men who go off to war
They go overseas to an uncertain shore
It’s hard to recall what they’re fighting for 
But we’re all told we’re gonna need more
These are the men
These are the men

These are our men who conquer the land
With heads held...

Fresh air
Breeze prompts flair


Good feel
Waves spur will


Deep thoughts
Flame fond lot


Look out
Watch cheer shout


Calm moods
Love feels good


Heed joy
Spice fine ploys


Good cheer
Now draws near


Now know
True light glows


Purge dark
Fond grace sparks


Glimpse grand
Be a friend 


Spread mint
Bright hues tint


Just be
Thus you see


In time
All things rhyme
