Best Xi Poems

Anticipation in an eye gaze
Before the plunge between 
Lips and skin—
The vulnerable way into the heart

A rush that gushes through 
Every avenue of the frame
As a scent causes thrills that hide 
Not long enough to be secret

Hands over hands 
Soft skin wrapped in soft skin

The sun is setting

My heart has been filled with joy-


God has touched my soul!*

On the extremity of  a tall bank 
Of big broken stones in round circle done
We reached up a more cruel clutter flank;

And there, for the horrible and strong stun
Of rotten stench which the deep abyss throws,
We then approached, from back, a stone lid dun

Of...

Black Blood was used to paint a picture on a Black Wall. Black Blood was used to paint. Black Blood. Blood bought from the very same people who stood side by side with you 25 years ago. Now that their kids have been given the...

Limerick: Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo

Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo
Displayed his sword-play in a tornado
But his sword slipped hands
And entered his ampersands*
So now he limps about incognito.

Take your own sweet time, and let others keep time.
Tea for two always ends up in a hell-uv-a bellowing brew ;    
        tea and sympathy in a hullaballoo.
The choice between Scylla and Charybdis is like...

A CONCLUSION -
JOURNAL XI

It’s a Walt Disney,
Looney Tunes world
Why?      Because I
cannot identify with
it
      in my waking
hours
Contradiction is
rife
The love-hate
mishmash is widely
popular
Those of our younger
populace seem to
identify
The movies, the
songs, the
unpredictable 
      behavior...

These facts must be taught in our schools:
Donald's tweets can trump molecules
Fools believe science
Truth has no reliance
Grasp pussy and not climate rules! 


Author’s Note: I regularly talk to an observer who travels all over the USA. The report back is that the people in the...

IF ever I had a country: XI - XII

IF ever I had a country
And if ever I were but the Admiral of the Fleet
I'd issue an edict to keep ships out of foreign waters
I'd order all on deck on or off duty curse-under-breath sailors
To fish...

The house is empty
Not a home now, just a house
Without you with me

Feels like a bad dream
From which I may not awake 
Forever it seems

Your chair is empty
Not there to sit next to me
Just me and TV

Perhaps you’ll come back
To be with me once again
After...

Apt joy frames quest
Prize spring time zest


Pique precious poise
Yield to fond voice

Ink words that style

Sense how time heals

Nice festive food


Ask for health here

What sounds, what pictures can express your grace?
I search my soul to lay fast claim on words
that will depict the worship you have stirred
with in my breast. Alas, they fly apace, 
and I am mute. My love, I would abase
myself and to your merit mine...

She sits in her old four door car
Jittery as a stick shift
All day every day

An old fashion woman
Smoking a pack of Camels
With all the windows rolled up

Goldfish
Staring out
Blowing bubbles in her dirty bowl
To the trolling park people

Who step from their slick driverless SUVs
Into the woods
With...

Because he lives high on the hog
He's hoping Jinping
Will do the same thing
So Biden will cringe when they blog...
