Interview with a Mirror

Hey, why are you copying me?
Every word I say you just repeat.
Lose the mocking attitude, please?!
Look at you, you're even trying to be me!
Overy and out, you're only just a tease.

Best Of Both Worlds

Written By:  D. Collins 11/22/24



A man like me has the best of both worlds.
A life lacking fear and an awesome Li'L Girl.
Never will I be chained, even in slavery.
And, my Li'L Girl turned out to be just like me.


I embrace that as Virginia E.Y. Collins would.
Come up with something that spits out good.
Virginia left her mark and so did I.
I warned ya'll 'bout Meika before I died.


She takes the mantle where my poems leave off.
That Good, God, Granny that'll never be soft.
The best of both worlds might just be my luck.
But when you see her coming take cover and duck.

Radhika Teacher

Rare to see a beautiful soul like her who is
Aglow inside out, admirable and amiable. A teacher so
Dedicated, for us students who seek music, she is
Humble, hospitable, affectionate and compassionate. 
In times of stress from humdrum of life, her music class is the
Key to unlock the door to a verdant idyll of peace where
A symphony of harmonious notes bloom and waft in air like

The sweet aroma of hope that pure fresh jasmines diffuse. 
Ever smiling and cheerful, my teacher welcomes us to the class
And along with her, we drift across unexplored realms of music. A
Child-like innocence and a winsome smile adorns her graceful face. 
How blessed am I to be her student, I thank God from my heart. An
Epitome of kindness, she showers her blessings to all. Our dear
Radhika teacher, we adore you forever for your steadfast love!

a foundation day shone...

for anchored oak-ey irregulars...

(of number patterns rooted in
the unspoken as/of a sudoku)

Torch Lake Invasion

If gold coins and silver dollars
Could turn hollow and float
On the quivering skin of Torch Lake

July backstroke of jingle
Belly rings nipple rings
This would be it

Drowning Japanese Beetles
Tossed by handfuls to the surface water
From jewelry boxes kept by robbers

What better way to give it back?
Bringing justice to generations
Of those who’ve always wondered

What exactly happened to my keepsakes?

Sky
Lake
I am cut in half at my cold waist

Like a poor boy on a rural road
Who’s come across a tipped over Brinks truck
Coughing in the hot dust
Of swimming nickels and pennies

I look around

Then wade through my newfound riches
My beggar’s palms
Scoop up the reflections

Collect to the dock bits and pieces
Of the struggling metallic creatures
And wisps of cloud sun and wind

A stirring gaudy pile
Grows of second chances
To be picked over by my kids

Who say “Eweee. Yuck. and Beautiful.
Daddy
You are a pirate. Captain Bly!”

Ey
I don’t know why I do these little things
Saving these treasures

As coin by coin takes wing
Flies away
To my kids’ great wonder.

Nyc Sabbath Prayer

Coffee shops bloom into aroma.
New York City
spew on the sidewalk.
This day Lord if you care;
in the timpani of each mind
thunder your long bong songs.
Bless the rats in their 
dank hid-ey-holes
bless the thrice gnawed pizza.

Thunder sweetly
in the pidgins throat,
forgive us our lox & bagels
and let the dawn excavate us
from the weed soaked
down-town funk.

Lord, if you care
and if that `care' 
is You in us
then let the Big Apple 
be newborn
and not maggoty.

Not a place of filth
and fading beauty,
but each of us
a lamp in a city of lights,
and dear Lord, 
please turn us on.

Premium MemberAlberta Texas Florida - What

Alberta…..they probably just shook their heads and muttered “ey?”

Texas…probably rode it down, roped it, branded it and sent it on its way.

Florida….they probably took it fishing... in the Everglades…’nuf said!

Premium MemberDear Quilt

Their heads superglued, smiles extend,
the spread of their deer quilt upon his lap.
They read, as if one, “Mon—ey can’t buy
hap-pi-ness but it can buy hunting gear…
which is pretty much the same thing.”
Last line succinctly added to their chime.

The deer stand, his pride, sometimes
given up to his wife, as he nervously
waits in the pickup truck. Recently
women show their trophies on media
with bowed knee and the stance of
a hunting rifle. Husband pounds chest.

Keep It Christmas-Ey

On Christmas Eve,
forget not to have your spirit a-glow
with joy 
Colorful as a bright rainbow

Keep the caroling mood
praise sleigh ride firmament high
Evergreen merrily cool

Making a snow angel groove
is the gaiety move
which warms the thoughts

As the sleepless night descends
on the happy hearts
of the children

All of you big kids,
please do remember to — 
Keep it so soul Christmas-ey!

Light up the world with Love

Isn’t that what the Nativity scene
was goodwill given of?

Keep it forever Christmas-ey!

Let the Christmas Eve glow
usher in the Light of the world

The babe who laid bare 
His precious Emmanuel soul,
gift wrapped in 
virgin wool swaddling clothes

Blessings I Am Thank Full
An Acrostic 
Bibles ask,
Long eons givings...
Endless eons sphere spirals
Such infinity’s messages.
Such tribulations insistent.
Incalculable eons beseech me
Necked unbelievers alarming
Geologic eon’s anticipations, grateful for all and everything
Several eons seeking

Incalculable eons lives on and on

Avowed unbelievers address comforting
Modern unbelievers nominate.

Tribulations notify.
Heresies foretell for told
Ancient unbelievers experience my witness
Natural birthrights kill sins the tool
Key presses urges repentance

Fewer unbelievers say, forgive me Lord!
Usual tribulations holler, mercy Father
Little paradises forebode, Hallelujah!
Limitless eons sent believers saved enter heaven
