Rage..rage rage.!!! Damn her' damn.. I just
Saw an old clip of the chattering classes
bimbo..Nimbo whatever i rage rage rage
In my mind and soul.' At her
atrosciousness, at the bloody mess she
Leaves in her wake.' Savage
is my chest.'
Is
the dish she did offer 'anti-dose'
give stuffed
With opportunity, to engender gen-o-cide
The dirty truth is seen, they will appear..
At this harridns death-bed the thousands
Of victims locked away to die alone.' The children
She terrorized.Before God a parody of
real empathy..With matricidal tones. Is it
Ten or thirty or fifty thousand you victimized
Reid.? Grrrr grrr oh my mind is bubbling
my spirit is eager to see her dis-harmony
And disconnection from balanced society
And stayt a right charlie he is also guilty.)
The Cool Kids table
positioned in front
Where Rolex and Prada
like hounds on the hunt
They pander and coddle
each other with flair
Ignoring all others
outside of their lair
The Cool Kids engender
self-titles and brand
As brain dead and hollow
they spew on demand
But Mommy and Daddy
won’t suckle prolonged
And sooner or later
they’ll cease to belong
The Cool Kids outdated
when faced with the truth
They only exist
when they’re part of ‘The Group’
Their 2oth reunion
will come in a flash
Where that table in front
— is now pushed to the back

“Pondering is, in my feeling, a form of prayer.” – Marion G. Romney
Oh, where and when may I choose to ponder
the many things most vital for my soul?
There is so much I can find out yonder.
Might I explore a beautiful atoll,
where coral sparkles in the summer sun?
Ah, to gaze upon florescent splendor
and feel the spirit of the Holy One.
Think of all the places that engender
glorious poetic contemplation.
The plains and valleys, mountains and the seas!
Oh, to feel deep spiritual elation
and know how to experience it with ease.
Yet I know anytime I may seek God.
And in my own back yard I can be awed.
A universal income worldwide, said to lift
Millions out of poverty.' There however? Is
A possibiliy i detest and deride.' The cost to
The administrators billionaires themselves
Will engender mass population reductions
Or just plain murder? Or genocide i'll leave
You to work out the best description all by
Yourselves.'
Late in September
I fondly remember
What caused loves engender
the days all in rhyme
Lost in September
a slave to indenture
My feelings surrendered
for you to be mine
Laughing we tendered
what pain could not enter
And boldly uncensored
each moment sublime
But Fall’s great pretender
October dismembered
Our fate the death chamber
— of Summer mistimed
(Poems Of Love: Merch, 2026)
May your annual commemoration
of the winter solstice
with one of the Earth's poles
at its maximum tilt from the sun
be abundant with innumerable manifestations
of felicity friends good food and fun
and may the next full circuit
of the ecliptic engender
a propensity toward
bestowing plenteousness too
and may unparalleled prosperity
be forthcoming
and settle like snowflakes
gently upon you
Did you know Albert Einstein married his cousin?
It's a topic that makes for interesting discussion.
And while it may engender some negativity,
it gives new meaning to the theory of relativity!
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain;
Regrets are best left in the past.
They engender headache and pain.
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain.
Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain.
The sting of regret never lasts.
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain;
Regrets are best left in the past.
The taste lingers,
A thought conveys
Childhood at its best,
The idea hovers
The feelings engender
The deeply converged experiences in my chest!
I remember the fruit
The sugars divine,
The crusty pastry defined,
The shape of the slice,
The triangular trick
Exquisitely, to my observation, delicately refined!
Who wants a piece?
Who'd like a sniff?
Oh! What will it instill?
What elegant thought?
What instant delight,
Connects this taste to the smell of the fill?
A fleeting emotion,
A word of support,
Quickly surrounds the scene,
Of pine trees
And plum trees,
And muscadines hanging, clothed in a matchless sheen!
Summer's
wilting heat
and humidity
engender lovely daydreams
of the myriad pleasant features of fall.
I heard her say it clear and plain.
There were no present signs of pain.
She knew there was so much within,
sufficient to reach those without.
She gives her all, sharing with nothing to gain.
She finds them as they are, both the near and
the far, but never leave them the same.
She is like none that I have known.
She makes everyone feel right at home.
She believes that Earth is a place of test,
and that heaven is the place for rest.
At first, I thought so little of it; so less.
I must confess that I did not think it best.
But I knew that trying to change her would
only engender protest. So, in my heart I wanted
to cry, but it was accepted and settled when
I heard her simply say, "I want to be tired
when I die".

Just nodded yes, when my ego had said no
Lost all consuming forces, simply let go
Met you halfway, instead of skirting the square
Perhaps sat down, when you brought over a chair
Found quantum entanglement, not just sheeple
Its herding force, far away from the steeple
Magnetism in both poles, pulling from all sides
Positive and negative, filling vast voids
Overcome the burden, in self surrender
Let empathy conjoin, and love engender
Gone outside my comfort zone, where truth persists
Quelled year old hate, encouraged alternate bliss
Lived together, stop digging at empty space
Found peace together, ending human disgrace
Believed together, without losing mere face
Came together, with all consuming embrace
But then again, (I wish I had) lots of things
Not just a pair of arms, but fully fledged wings
I’d fly ‘cross Nepal, meet and kill the Buddha
His words incanting, Shoulda Coulda Woulda!

War To End All Wars
It will be the war
On corporate polluters
The corporate polluters
Who deprive Our Children
Of clean air, clean water and clean food
These corporate polluters
Driven by ego and greed
Are relentless
In their pursuit of profits
To sustain their avaricious
Narcissistic lifestyles
*
Parents and their Children
Will be armed with Love, Courage
And Determination to
Dismantle the laws and policies
Allowing rampant pollution
To harm so many of us
Demand for corporate accountability
Will be heard from 'Sea to Shining Sea'

We are on the Edge of Existence
We and Our Children
Will not be pushed
Over the cliff

The Love we have for
Our Children
And their future

A massive push-back
And a fierce stare-down
Of corporate giants

By the time I met her,
I no longer cared what might occur.
Having grown weary of romance,
I was reluctant to take another chance.
Romantic encounters had left me uninterested.
That is, until that Sunday I was arrested;
Arrested and captured by a beauty in the pew.
There was something about her that was new.
I watched her more than just a time or two
and kept staring at her with a different view.
I was hesitant at making a move right away;
But I could not shake what I felt that Sunday.
In a college town on a street called Dewey avenue,
my interest in her did not deminish, but rather, it grew.
50 plus years have come and gone since I ringed her finger.
I am sometimes amazed at what just one look can engender.
