Serenity or drama?
Afternoon’s a semi-colon,
Period or comma.

If the day’s routine,

What you must be careful of’s
The exclamation point.

Un-nerved by formal sentencing assemblies,
Marks and Words, bound by conjunctive amenity.
The tried beliefs that short cuts speed words into action.
Made stuffy Old School feel out of fashion.

“A shortened distance, yet far to travel.”
Marks are pushed into line to enter their plea.

red poppies
                   grow

moribund she wondered what

the postmortem would leave

other than a dead body and wounds

made by the many scalpels of life

operations gone wrong and stitch-ups

with sutures festering at the seams


as a mere mortal she had not chosen

the coffin head stone and grave

as one should not mess with...

Where I live, you have to ask for one.
And there may not be one
but you know how it used to be and
now you don't, so much.

Lighten up anyway, 'cause hey
and hay didn't used to be so
far away from those
incredible cafe ashtrays.

Once upon a time

Or what is this thing called, love 
Once again a comma

This is a result of text messaging. You have forgotten; how...; to punctuate. It affects you. This affects me. This effects all of us. Misplaced kindness masked by hate; lost in a text. There's no self expression. It makes me sick. No accents! No real...

of a poet’s true inclination.
Pray how, ask I, can we
understand what we see,
without capitals or colon,
