Premium Member Memory Lane
Moments in feathers fly
Every step accelerates, ground shakes
Minutes of privy reply
On depth of iced sunny flakes
Retreat uplifts, freely brakes
Yakitori and ale served without blunder
Lane of cognizance never break asunder
All that dwell, thousand smiles in pail
Never drown in well nor surrender
Echoes of schmaltz sail...

Premium Member Selectively Eclectic, a Musical Matter of Taste
I freely admit I love classical music,
And please don't think me a snob
If I keep my composure
When I mention composers
As Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Schumann,
And not Ludie, or Wolfie,
Or Petie, or Bob.

And a symphony simply cannot be enjoyed
At just any old time of the day.
I...

Our Wedding Vows
page turning suspense filled the vaulted sepulchral air
   ushering the veiled spouse to be
while afar off trumpets did blare
   (arranged by the well known matchmaker Harriet Kuritsky)

Some Precious Memories
Serene heart waves submerging deep, a book,
Dwelling in some lyrics mellifluous, manifesting
A deep insight of my self composed song,
Shimmying from my significant nook
To create the music with my waves
Awaited unity's celebration by their shimmer
Sparkle some more to let me hear my song:-

"Waves of my past...

Premium Member Big Brother's Pickling You
Pickled ham and pickled beef
Cause weak stomachs too much grief


Did you know they pickle cherries
Grandma ate some; said three Hail Marys


In glass jars, store pickled tomatoes
Do not try this with wet potatoes


Russians all swear by pickled herring
Grate in radish and schmaltz if you are daring


Pickling...

No Lungfuls of Hope
NO LUNGFULS OF HOPE

In the beginning, you are uttering sugary words
Words that surprisingly became schmaltz for me
And I used to believe them
Cos I was lame back then

Your slippery mouth that distorted candor like cherry stems
Just like fangs of a rattlesnake 
Scratches. Swelling. 
Leaving the subtle...

The Men Who Write Your Christmas Movies, Part I
I used to be ashamed to say that I
once wrote for a rather large company,
the kind the likes to print up greeting cards,
and for some reason, make Christmas movies.

Now this caused much consternation in me,
I was an Ivy-educated young man,
had studied Joyce, Foucault, Derrida,
was filled...

Argh, I never got muffin top before why now
Argh, I ne'er got muffin top before - why now!?

Once upon a time yours truly did allow
himself to consume anything in sight
eats of mine in the mein 
included an assortment of chow.

Impossible firm me 
(read my bookish self
a schlepping schlemiel, 
with schmaltz and chutzpah

Little Zoom a very white mouse,
who lived in a humongous house,
single and without any spouse;
but he loved Strauss, but he loved Strauss.

Though he tried to learn how to waltz,
always needing some smelling salts,
his clumsiness was not his fault;
had plenty schmaltz, had plenty schmaltz.

One day he...

Meghan and Harry
Meghan and Harry

So, Meghan and Harry appeared on the unelected
queen of America´s Oprah, last night.
Banality swam in a sea of phoney weeping. 
Harry, the prince, when not feeding, the chickens 
had to listen to them and nodding his head.
He cut a pathetic figure.
The gutter press...

Premium Member Thank God For Me Stubbing My Toe
How do you know what you know?
You know by stubbing your toe
Induction principle
Back to the future go
It’s epistemological

Is it all empirical?
Is it all observable?
I’m asking how
Atheist’s count
With numbers being abstractable

The induction rule
Is a Christian tool
By stubbing my toe
Against the bedpost
It comes into view

By stubbing your...
