"Two Trees:  Mr. Oak And Mr. Bamboo"


A terrible wind storm was approaching and blowing everything out of it's path!
NOTHING....not one thing at all, could withstand it's awesome wrath!
Two trees saw this storm coming! YES!....it was coming their way!
One was Mr. Oak, the other Mr....

My First Five Poems

Silhouetted against the backdrop of Central Park,
the Black Magic Woman brazenly frolicked in the dark,
"Do you know me?” she cryptically asked,
steel gray eyes peering from behind a gruesome mask.
Agitated and running out of patience and time,
she ranted and raved looking anything but...

Never hid in Jefferson Airplane
Never beat his wife
Never wept on the floor of jail
Never drank his life away
Never ranted on soldiers grave
Never changed his name
Never came back from the dead...

I cannot say with any certainty
why it came to me, then, there,
but it came to me
unexpected as birth.
The kitchen was bright as the summer
and comfortable as the paving
next to the swimming pool.
Our hosts were pleasant as we were,
the conversation pleasant as our hosts
as pleasant as...

Time waits for no one. Isn’t that great?
If it waited on us, it would end up too late.

We think we’re the master of our time controlled realm,
But Time is the faster man at the helm.
What we witness now is already gone.
When? Where? and How? is...

Where can I go.
Following me like the black plague,
Droppings here and there for show.
----let them lie where they fall
after all
who is the big cheese
who is the termite at the top of the hill,
rambling longer, saying less, 
worthless krill
having to search out a dying whale 
simply...

Newsflash:
"Stranger times have never been
As humanity battles forces as yet unseen..
Not just those things beyond our eyes
But hidden troubles that wrestle for our lives.."

Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Glory to the New Born King 

So what has changed?
To make our lives so wonkey 
Christmas used...

We used to Communicate, Brainstorm, Debate
but I find you've been quiet and distant, of late.

Just what aren't you Saying? What is the good Word?
To find out, I eavesdropped and here's all that I heard:

You Cheered from the couch for your favorite team,
then Boo-ed twice as...

Had an epiphany today, a realization to my dismay
That I was never evil, despite all the words that I say
I've always questioned the planet, trying hard to understand it
Humans and Gods, Why are we here? I often ranted
If I questioned God, then I must be...

Along a winding country road
one autumn’s day of late,
I chanced upon an aged abode,
up a hill beyond a gate.

The house was old and quiet,
not a person 'neath its roof
but in a tree close by it
perched a bird, somewhat aloof.

It cawed and cawed audaciously
then quickly flew...

My grandson asked if back when I was young
I had ever done anything naughty or wrong
I said shut the door put on listening ears
And Ill tell you a tale of rank shivering fear
One night at midnight I sneaked from my bed
To a neigr knocker fastened...

My Cousin Chaos Contest
Sponsor: Brian Davey


Disorderly conduct in the worst degree,
Ella stood up on that ol’ cherry tree,
Lil’ Joey screaming for her to come down,
But she wasn’t ready to jump on the ground.

Auntie Jen came out and heard the chatter,
While cousin Joey ran and got...

Alma was a Barracuda, married two times four,
she knew the game, she played so well and never failed to score.

So, when the chance came about to scam a naive Sailor,
she knew she had to do her best to take the drunken whaler.

He told her she...

Lungs that burst
life that escaped
when poor souls rant and ranted more
instead of reciting poetic verse

I pray one day
they find a way
to re-discover kindness I say
sadly, this dream, will never be

Hens and co?cks, birds of a feather
singing on the rudeness tree...

Now here's a tale that needs to be told
Of three little pigs so very different
Their names were Ernest, Roger and Winky
These names by their parents were given

Now I could say these pigs were not so nice
At times they were rightly a pain in the ass
Their...
