Halloween TrickstersKids nowadays don't know the fine art of staging Halloween tricks,
(Though they are very adept at fleecing me for candy to get their kicks!)
Tricks we did as kids would no doubt today land us in the slammer,
Causing outrage and rancor by folks for our hides...

A Summer Winter Never WillThe fall… of the summer breeze
The will of the tamest rage
Fires burn on the rustling leaves
The mind wars where time can only wage
The song… no one hears
Where silence is the loudest of it all
Who sings… who dears?
Where time can never be like time before
The...

Saw Johnny Cash In the PubHere comes a bit of blarney for you
I looked up and saw the boy named Stew
He was known for tall tales and lies.
One of those entertaining Irish guys.
Saw Johnny Cash at the pub just now.
He rode in on a donkey, or maybe a cow.

A World For YouWhen this world has deprived you
Land beneath your feet,

And I will write
Of you,
For you,
To you-
I will write a world
through and through.
No matter how all edges
has pinned my arms
on the tamest grounds,
Still I...

Where varied dinosaur-toys seem to roam in his room
Near the aquarium, adjacent to his monkeyrium…
There, monkeys and apes’ posters appear as bride and groom.
For this Noah’s Ark dinosaur trip ---
…we’ll meet dinosaurs with Bible...

Orphic SpellsEx lovebirds of
the tamest passion can turn
so predatory.
Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.
Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.
As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully
I summon some sweet,
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells
In self-effacing
defense to tame the...

Little ManMy Uncle Cladie rescued endangered squirrels
Nurtured his pets with exceptional love
When we visited the “Little Man”
He was happy to play
Chase with us for peanut rewards and quick cuddles
And never bit like some squirrels will do.
“Little Man” often raced across...

In the valley of the academics, in the night that falls like a spider's web over the worldIn the valley of the academics, in the night that falls like a spider's web over the world,
I see them moving, like pale shadows, struggling in their golden cages,
They, who fancy themselves independent thinkers, who think they are eagles soaring in blue heights,
But they are...
