Lock Down

Hey girl! Whatcha yellin' for?
I can't hear you through that thick door!
Do you really think they're gonna let you out
when all you do is stand there and shout?
You may as well chill, things will be fine.
I'm telling you, girl, we're tired of hearin' you whine.
You're gonna have to learn how to play the game,
or you'll

the internet is down

the internet is down
no biggie
I think I’ll watch TV
ha!
That isn’t happening

I thought I could type a poem on the computer
Wrong
Word says
Cannot save, check your internet settings

I do not have to check
I know
the internet is down

More

More fool me
For hoping you would change,
You promised me the world
Yet everything’s the same.
I’ve told you that I’m broken
And I can barely cope,
You said you’d make more effort
Filling me with hope.
Actions speak louder 
Than your words can ever say,
I’ve already waited forever 
So I won’t wait another day.
I’m not sorry that we’re over
I’m sorry that

At The Light

When driving the car
approaching a traffic light
it has often been seen
both day and night
what does green mean
here's the plan
for better or worse
drive as fast as you can
then red and amber
if you will
put the foot down
even faster still
and when it turns red
don't dare to dwell
or stop dead
but go like a bat out of hell

AN AVERAGE DAY DOWN AT THE FUNNY FARM

Sir Billy Pig’s missing his oats
Miss Piggy Wig’s had hers, she gloats
But she’s looking so rough
Her bum’s full of crap stuff
Its output is brown and it floats!

I’m advised by a pal of mine
To “Never cast pearls before swine”
Or put lipstick on a pig
When it’s mouthing off big
Miss Piggy Wig’s an old bovine!

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down after federal funding cuts

(  L A. Times  - A cogent and accurate commentary by Member - johntomas )



  You recycle a common but baseless accusation that NPR and PBS have become “left-leaning,” when in reality, what’s often labeled as “bias” is simply truthful reporting on deeply troubling actions -- including Donald Trump’s sustained attacks on

Weighed Down

Sometimes I wonder why I can't move on
From thoughts and feelings weighing down my mind.
I wish I could cast off this awful weight
So I can plan my future and be free.
Perhaps I need to find another path
A different trek so I can start again.
With choices made that keep my mind at peace
Instead of dread that

UPSIDE DOWN

UPSIDE DOWN WORLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in this strange world, where up is down
and down is up, and all is turned around,
we stumble, lost, through an endless maze
seeking answers, with an upside-down daze

Follow Me Down

The pathway to hell
paved with good intentions
— and unwritten words

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

The Song I Will Not Pass Down

I dreamed a song —  
hush tones and haunted chords.  
A woman loved once,  
and it grew into a tree.  
She watered it with years,  
fed it her voice,  
slept beneath it,  
called the silence love.  
And in the final verse,  
she hung herself in its

Down the rabbit hole

In Wonderland's twilight, where shadows play,
Alice chased a rabbit, down a curious way.
The hole yawned wide, a vortex in the ground,
She tumbled in, and her world spun around.

Down, down she fell, through swirling lights,
A kaleidoscope of colors, a wondrous sight.
The air was thick with whispers, a gentle hum,
As she pierced the veil, and entered the

downcast downtrodden down in the mouth house

downcast, downtrodden, down-in-the-mouth house
not perky enough for a raccoon or a mouse
was passed over quickly by Lee Ann’s spouse
Buying this monstrosity would make him a louse.

A Cloud Plopped Down on my Knee

       A cloud from the sky
         plopped down on my knee
       Said, ‘Do you realize
         all my rain is for free’

      

Lay Down Your Soul On Me

It meets my eyes, a vacant stare. 
In nakedness, it seems so bare. 
What more of life is there to write? 
Sunsets, dawn or the lovers' plight? 
Plethora of words prance and tease, 
seduce my heart, but give no ease, 
instead run wild, like weeds untamed- 
they have no form, no home or name.

Down to Zero

(“The Particle In The Wave”, 2018, original encaustic)

Down to Zero

In the great equation of Life
Everything eventually cancels out
As it naturally balances
And leaves us down to zero.

From the perspective of static
The dynamic is the illusion
From the perspective of dynamic
The static is the illusion.

Buddhism with its notion of a final Nirvana
Takes the former
