A Fable

I was spending an afternoon with a billionaire 
On our walk through town, we came to an art salon 
on its wall, a painting I liked but could not afford
The billionaire offered to buy it for me, but reserved 
The right to take the artwork back should I die
because he is an art collector,
The salon refuses to

IMMIGRANT FABLE

America the place
Ice feels immigrants should be erased
Lady Liberty welcome
Constitution says stay
Washington wants to put the immigrants away
Immigrants have a right
It’s turned into a plight
Immigrant’s rights went from bright to dark
Leaving a disgrace mark
They want to live and pursue
What are they to do?
The constitution is the thing
Washington wants the departure sling
America spells opportunity
The taste of

Fable 


Bloody Bond
Feeble pledge
Far sighting the bogus Lustre 
Drenched in thoughts
Wrenching out words
With ideas in the trench
He was a wreck
Dredging in the mud
Wearing his other face
Facing his tomorrow
Fencing his fears
Benching all odds  
In a world of doubt

The Fable Of Two Snakes In The Grass

Allegory (Fable-Parable) Poetry Contest
Crystol Woods

They were two snakes in the grass buried in the pit of life
now bemoaning their past with hisses, coils and strikes
she constricts he restricts
venom spewing out
she thwarts his advances and he thwarts hers
stubbornness seeding in the pot of mystery
in the rock bottom garden of life
... yet there they were 
continuously watching

The Mouse And The Cat Fable

A wise mouse lived alone in a narrow hole he had dug 
in the soft soil in the backyard flank of a large house,  
whose owner had a pet cat that seemed the master 
of the house, for she moved around majestically
in the sprawling premises with an agile feline grace.

Once as the mouse was

MISFIT TOYS ISLAND FABLE

Alone and Separated
Far from a Child’s touch
Divided in much
A bus with square wheels and not round
A Passenger train with no steam engine pull
A flying Eel
A rewrite Reel
All the above are Misfit toys
Needing the joy from every Girl and Boy
They are stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere
It’s up to Santa to bring the

Pondering Parables

Among tales told long ago were those
of finding hidden buried treasures,
of growing seeds in diverse soils,
of building homes on sand or rock,
of sorting worthy sheep from wicked goats,
of inviting multitudes to a banquet,
of celebrating a prodigal returning home,
of saving a life by a scorned Samaritan.

Jesus loved earthly stories
with heavenly implications.
His parables were spiritual seeds
sown in

A fable

I flew high, but it was hot, my wings were tired
when spotting a well sat on the rim of the well
saw my reflection; yes, I was beautiful, but
noticed a dark shadow behind me
pushing me into the well and  looking up
Evil had gone
clawed myself to the top, the Evil sat by the fireside
my talons scratched its

The Moth and the Butterfly

Before there were humans on earth below, 
There were angels above in the skies. 
There were mountains and trees and woods and streams, 
And moths and butterflies. 

But one day the angels in glory aloft 
Were upset and began to cry. 
It rained, but the butterflies simply scoffed 
At the angels above in the sky.

POET FABLE

Day into night
No permissions just decisions
The desire to write
The need to be heard
Opportunities to explore
The tomorrow into the ever after
The heart leading the way

A Poet meant to be
Poets always understands
Embracing instinct
Wonders of any journey
Stories through discover
Over and over writing more
No time limits
Write until satisfied
True Poet
Totally inspired
Endless Poet writes

Pleading Fable

If duckling, piglets and puppy
Live, eat and slept together
No fussing, growling or barking
Why can't humans get along with each other.

We are all God's jam, an Earthling humans
Why can't we live in friendship, unmindful
Of color of skin, religion, nationality, please...
Have peace, love, kindness to everyone.

The Tiger and the Donkey - A Fable for Our Time

The tiger growled "You shall not pass!"
The donkey said "Come on. Don't be so crass.
I'm just here for a drink
and if you really think
you can stop me, I'll just kick your dumb a**!"

the fable of Jesus

The Fable of Jesus
Jesus was skeptical of his tribe, he didn't 
whether he was a Semite, his father, the renowned 
the wood craftsman had green eyes and knew 
a few phrases of gallic monks had visited until
the Rome administration banned them
Jesus, to please his father, built a bookshelf, it was
It was so bad his younger brother had to

Crazy

She asked him where he’d been.
He said she was crazy for questioning him.

She asked him why he stayed gone.
He assured her it was better to be alone.

She asked him when he’d be home.
He reminded her he was never wrong.

She asked him who left the lipstick on his collar.
He told her a lie about the stain

There stood a golden hen,
Who had her choice of
