Broad-Cast Fabric

Weeds Flower And Seed
With The Same Innate
Needs As All Desperate
Seek Some Survival.

They Have No Word,
No Sanctuary, No
Desire For Hatred.

Not Like Humans
Who Will Hate Just
To Hurt…

For The
Name.

Premium MemberBroad-minded

My name doesn’t tell if I’ve got
Some meaningly posh coat of arms 
I didn’t contribute to national lot
But maybe I did for the arts
I don’t criticize politicians
It must be the easiest job
Yet I never praise politicians
For this is a job of a yob
So I’m a bit jobless you see
Hope you can guess that I am
An artist of air and the sea
A painter of skies and the land
This doesn’t imply that I stand for
The land that I thouroughly see
Political people can love it much more
With pleasure I gladly concede
I’m not patriotic since childhood
I haven’t changed in this regard
But this doesn’t mean that I would
Deem jingoes as utter retards 
Some folks are ok being homebound
Some other prefer rock and roll
And some will keep silent about it
I’ve equal respect for them all
To meet me you will not regret
My broad-minded soul plays no game
You’d think of me:”haven’t we met?
But I can’t remember his name”.

My Choice

One road is rocky
with many holes.
The entrance gate is
narrow and few find it.
It is steep, with a
long climb.
A narrow path
with treacherous footing.
But the end is a place
of eternal rest, beauty and peace.

The other road is smooth
with no potholes.
The entrance gate is broad
and high and many find it.
The road is wide 
no guard rails needed.
It is a flat road, so
legs never grow tired.
But the end is eternal pain, suffering
and torment.

It is easy to follow the crowd
and take the road most travelled.
But, I will change direction
and take the road less travelled.

Pushy Broad

She was a mean pushy broad
Who thought bullying was a reward
Until she met her match
When she was slapped then snatch
On-lookers then stood and applauded

Broad Horizons of My Youth

Broad Horizons of My Youth
I remember now the broad horizons of my youth.
Shrunken now to pitiful peeks at an uncertain future.
I recall the golden years when anything was possible.
When the juices of my body supplied strength.
My heart retained its piety.
For many things, I did then aspire.
I fear they have all now been burnt by the eternal fire.
Leaving only the ashes derived from a failed desire.

Broad Cove Banks Road

You have to know, my love.
Nothing comes close, my love,
To an East Coast kiss in the summer sun.
You have to know, my love.
We can go home, my love.
It is easily said and done when you feel outrun.

You're all I need.
Darling, share the load and see.
Walk Broad Cove Banks Road with me.

We are home on the hill, my love.
Life is a thrill, my love.
The ocean we see and the air we breathe is enough.
One day they'll be grown up, my love.
We will raise our cups, my love.
We got to the end together, as we said. It was tough.

You're all I need.
Darling, share the load and see.
Walk Broad Cove Banks Road with me.

After all these years, my love.
We faced our fears, my love.
Tired bones take us back to the seed we've sown.
All said and done, my love.
Dead and gone, my love.
Our legacy in their memory will roam.

Though the roads can change,
You and I know the way.
Close the map. Our hearts will guide us back.

You're all I need.
Darling, share the load and see.
Walk Broad Cove Banks Road with me.

Fade Out In Broad Daylight

There is radio silence today.
Usually I can tune-in,
today the deaf shout behind their words,
I stare at their moving mouths,
grapple with steams of muddled articulation,
not reaching anywhere close to a meaning.
An oral fog accents a strange language,
one I have yet to comprehend.
Is it I that's disconnected,
my mind defused like a used bomb shell?
I see a lot though, hear a lot,
but not in a way that can be interpreted
by anyone but those fabled lesser gods
that translate the world through
a mute and wondering heart.

It goes from Fern Rock
to Pattison Avenue
The Broad Street Subway
That's where Philadelphians
travel southward to the games.

Poems From a Broad: Flying

my feet are on
the floor as the 
plane rolls down
the run way but

at some point

a feeling of
giving way
let's me lift
off the ground

now

i'm
looking
down on
clouds

Spitefull Broad In the Resturant

wanting more than what he was allowed to afford
sounded like a strange way of having him
they wished him never to want
they bragge about how resilant they were
but in his dispair he sounded like
someone who couldn't understand the value
of currencey
Hornsby she spoke my name
looking over her dark rimmed glasses
might I understand what you want
you haven't the funds to support.
she said cuddle with those who can and you'll have what you need.
he smiled and begged her for the part he needed.
Mr. Hornsby if you wantit then
might those who sup with you
have the tresure for you
Mr, Hornsby's dilamma.
the fello in the pink sweater wishes
to kiss 
: maybe he'll give you
the funds so that you
might dine upon the fillet mingon.
reduce your want then might you afford the bolonge instead.
you ask this of those you date
is this retroduction for
the night with women who wished to spend evenings with you
without couplig?
The change is on the dresser mi freind.
the change is on the dresser.

God Is Both Deep and Broad

God Is Both Deep and Broad

He has been both deep and broad,
Which is depth and breadth of God,
Height and length,
Of great strength,
Who forever we will love and laud.
