Alright have to admit that whole drole Bazball or Baz Bat cool cat vibe…rabbit out of hat tribe.. is taking its toll..sunk in a hole..losing it’s goal and soul..not being a vitriol troll..maybe need to mull over a cull of this rigmarole.. Can’t pretend..is the end of this spangly jangly new fangled trend…nothing off the shelf…just...

Apologies to Pete Seeger Where have all the donuts gone? They are asking. Where have all the donuts gone? Nobody knows. Where have all the donuts gone? I ate them - every one. I hope they never learn. I hope they never learn....

Evie and Steve married on Christmas Eve We did not think they would ever leave Very drunk Steve put his feelings on sleeve his steps on the dance floor were more of a weave Eve’s chest began to hem, haw and heave Steve had certainly peeved our little Eve Marriage was never consummated, but no one grieved Matter of history, Eve’s family...

The ghostly night was filled with gloom As from your grave we walked away. Grief-stricken, there beside your tomb; Through Heaven's gate you've gone. A friend you were until that day You met your godforsaken doom And taken through death's alleyway. From the long stay in your dim room Where pain and groaning came to stay, Gossamer wings you now assume; Through Heaven's gate you've...

Things Missing Somewhere in This House My birth bertificate… A box of needed, new bank checks… Both of our wedding rings… My Waterman fountain pen… After 4 decades, at least 3 doz. of Jim’s odd socks & 2 doz. Of mine… 2 Roku remotes, 1 somewhere upstairs & 1 here downstairs… (Worrying) The hand-written letters I received from...

Written: June 23, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Anthony Biaanco ******************* Growling, arguing, cursing, and screams, They nod to chase after a dollar, a dream. Trapped in clichés, similar to urban swine, Lost residents of the suburbs stand in line. ...

Arrived alive departed dead and the same may be said of all who tread this weary world of ours less a milestone more a speed bump each Birthday I perceive and poetry is but one way to fill the waning hours for me ...

My husband is in many ways the opposite of me. Were he to make a left turn along a route, I’d go right inevitably. Astrologically, he’s emotional (double water) but I’m a stable triple earth. He rarely laughs, not even at a comic’s show, while I enjoy mirth. As time went on, I realized he really was a nut. Had...

All gone, the stripes on mug, and coffee. Ground up, my morning thoughts. Handle the wake-up-beauty kiss; source of mystery. What’s in his cup? Mind’s empty. Fill it up. I don’t carry but one; a mindful wake-me-up. He’s dragged himself out of bed; drugged with sleepiness; purposed to begin his grind. He doesn’t dig coffee in the morning. Regular routine to pour himself...

Despairing seafaring..can be Lore of days of yore Glories or gory Bold stories told Foreshore folklore Hemingway’s…Old Man and the Sea Smiles..feeling chipper Like a wee nipper Reeling in a ripper Serious delirious skipper No not a wee kipper More like stealing Flipper (ah remember Flipper) Sort of caught Trials snort beguiles Rather overwrought Wiles & guile..fraught Palaver..how they fought All went iffy in a jiffy This grouper.. a storm trooper All...

Gold on ancient atoll? Gone be prospector's hope! Gore, doth coat the brazen bull? Golem, get the rope? Best for those politest men? Better think again. Bone a-broken, dive in den? Flicker on the fen... Torn like life tormented? Break upon, O wave. How the gods lamented! O shroud hung on the grave! Yellow as a predator's eye? Dun the desert doubt. Riddles, rivers, thy reply? Time will sort it...

Today I felt the weight again - at least I'm feeling now. For months I floated, distant, watching myself from somewhere else. Now I write, I climb, I sweat, learning who I am beneath the numbness. I saw you after all this time, traveled far just to confirm what my heart already knew. You walked toward me, familiar but changed, and every word I'd planned dissolved...

This moment’s gone so let’s move on Stagnation is but death Why’d we before dark desires fawn When God renews our breath From birth till now we’ve seen Wherever we have been Lustrous remains soul’s sheen New day, new dawn This moment’s gone...

Some time just before the sunset, When the butterflies were gone, The moon was on its way, There was no eclipse, but it felt that way When there was darkness all around, A beam entered in their life, Turning the time around, With 11:11, no longer on the clock Beneath the sun's glaze, we often turn blind eye, While seeing the perspective through...

Sat alone again, sipping a few The old whiskey jar It's as empty as you Now you're gone I can see All that you did Just one more day To be your friend They say to live Each day as your last The reality is We're all tied to a mast Don't dream away These ideas that you have Because the moment is now Just remember...
