Orville and Wilbur Wright
Were determined to conquer flight
I'm sure they really had no clue
The stress flying would put us through

For in the world of art
he is worlds apart.
Mastery at

In a words
In a work
In a walk
In a rock
In a roll 
In a right
Is to be
In a road 
Maybe wrong
Maybe right 
In a raw

Any one couldn't be 
In a row 
In a rout...

Under the Wright conditions
man can fly.
So thought Orville and Wilbur
and in those days,
folks really named their children
Orville and Wilbur.
Eventually, their dream 
was realized;
short hops at first
then longer spanning
continents and oceans.
Till man wasn’t needed,
our eyes in the sky
can keep watch over
Omar and Ahmed.
And these days, 
in...

Look how far we've come! What would have taken months of perilous voyage now just takes hours of mundane leisure. At your fingertips lies countless options of entertainment: music, movies, games.

But looking out the window I can't help but bob my head to ELO's Mr....

A Sable Hued Syllabic Awakening…
(For Richard Wright)



Even snakes have love…
but no one wants their embrace;
such coiled loneliness…

Yet nature provides…
eggs are laid…babies are hatched
and snakes slitter on.

Pity…we’re not snakes…
our eggs denied their seeds…
food for the human mongoose.

Yet…we are like dough…
rising in our due season…
and nature provides...

Mr Wright

I’ve been thinking lately
like I’ve thought for oh so long.
Of younger ways and younger days
and times when I was wrong.

So I made up my mind today
that starting here tonight.
I am going to change my name.
You can call me Mr Wright.

I will be a shining...

Wright Again!

Jeremiah feels the heat forthrightly
His donations lower more than slightly
While the plate is passing
Seems surely it’s fasting
As it stops and dangles politely

Leaves fall, 
and soon will
My death. 

Without a 
Calamity. 

Rocks thrown
by the prostitute
In my own stoning. 

But I'm not worried. 

My heartbeat continues, 
Until I'm done
Helping with the 
Paraplegic that 
Was abused. 

In that public
school I pretended
I knew Christ. 

And like any liberal
I believe in...

The Old Ship-Wright


I’ve held the stars in the palm of my hand
And ladled the sunrise where no man has been

I’ve forged my anchors from hellish fires
And planed fine teakwood that served the Queen’s tea

But now my sun sets quicker than mice
That hide like stowaways burdened...

Seventy years ago in Princeton, West Virginia on a cold December third night
an earthly angel was born unto us and her name was Audrey Wright
a blessed child of God, a devoted disciple of Christ
and we've gathered here this evening to celebrate her life

With her husband...

I read the words of a man
And I wondered...

Of the life he led
And the things he said
And of what he might have said to me
If our two paths had crossed

How can such profoundness and genius
Live on in a single human being?
What a truly gifted man...

Problem Solving The Wright Way
Written: by Tom Wright
1-20-2020

Sometimes problems appear to come in batches,
and finding solutions is like trying to light wet wood.
This futile attempt is a mere waste of matches,
and the results will be smoke in all likelihood.

God never places a problem at my...

Leaf Factories
or
Just Rake The Leaves Without Whining
By: Tom Wright
11/25/99

I see leaves,
in assorted hues of red, yellow, and rust,
reminding me of paint splotches,
from the palate of some Grand Master,
moving ever slightly with each wind gust.

They blanket the ground as color on canvas,
and in thought I try...

Normally the bagpipes are played
On green hills of Scottish homeland
For one but the birds to comprehend
Musical, instrumental, breath-held worthy
Genius.
But not today.
Today the crazy Saturday bagpiper has returned
To his worn patch of nature
In the midst of an overcrowded, overworked,
Tiny university.
In trying to hear I could not...
