The Little Woman
The rough end of the pineapple
Was all a woman got, not so long ago,
Besides having to grapple
With everything considered apropos
Her housewifely role,
She had too much clothing with which to cope,
Modesty always her goal,
She was subjected...

Living the Examined Life
The man lives in a fishbowl
that's always patroled
A high intensity microscope
where in darkness he gropes
Every word always weighed
by the left and the right
If Superman were President ~

Written Off
If I wanted to write a crime thriller,
One with horrific opening stages,
I just might make a poet the killer,
Prone to frequent psychotic rages,
As a fiendish muse he engages,
To his chosen victim he sends an ode,
She...

NEAR HOMEAs travel abroad
distances in miles are long
highways at times are busy
the long roads ahead
a destination near home
with God never alone
a place to the desired destination
a place to call home
traveling so far in the days, amazed
as...

2 Jobs, 2 Kids, 2 Houses, 2 HobbiesCarrying a sleeping baby.
Cleaning after a successful party.
Camping beyond mountains more mountains.
Playing trumpet on the streets of New York City.
Eating although the food supply is deeply compromised.
Flying with Democrats and Republicans, evangelicals and atheists.
Flying like...

A day in the Life: RJMorning springs,
when daylight breaks,
when alarm bell rings,
for me to wake.
Day begins
with oblivious staring
and endless pondering
for an idea to set in.
Day proceeds,
going through cyclic motions,
going at languid speed,
to reach its conclusion.
Evening falls,
ending earlier endeavors
welcoming quiet stupor
as...

HOUSEWORKThere's more to keeping house,
Than washing dishes, sweeping floors.
You must wipe away the dirt,
From window sills and doors.
Picking up and straightening,
For certain is a must,
But if you want it to be clean,
It's wash and scrub...

Salt Review
Households have used salt for many a year,
On dinner tables there has been a space
For salt and pepper, the purpose is clear,
Reached for upon the completion of Grace.
On dinner tables there has been a space
Those...

In Minster Lovell HallDid knocks and scrapes of knives and tools
In blistered fingers of blundering fools
Awaken something in the hidden room
That until then, had slept entombed
In Minster Lovell Hall?
For when the dust had moved away

Fashioned From Fragments
Memories that will remain when we leave,
When finally there is no reprieve:
Low ceilings, unshaded lights,
Helicopters above at night,
Books, books and more books,
Scattered everywhere one looks,
A kitchen with a tiled floor
I won't be mopping any more,
A...

Wear A Green Hat
The world crisis caused by Covid Nineteen
Has meant a diminishing concern
For the global environmental scene.
While we do need to know all we can learn
Regarding the dangerous pandemic,
There are still huge "green" ills to discern.
War on...

House on the hill
Unchaperoned in a haunted, cemetery
sightings of a outcast child, roaming free
jilted headstones, drift above stagnant haze
paths constantly changing, distorted maze
pulsating moon, manifests human lungs
luring ruinous eyes, woeful black tongue
eerie bleak trees, shield...

Revolving Door
In an article I had read
In last Saturday's "Daily News,"'
Written from the house of the dead,
With those somewhat darkened views:
"Reincarnation" was the theme,
Well-researched, or so it would seem,
Thus, ""Life is a revolving door,
You go through...

Headlong Flight
I am fleeing from the house of the dead,
That miserable place so full of ghosts,
Such silent, uncommunicative hosts,
Their cold indifference I had learned to dread.
I was kidnapped days ago from my bed,
For no bolts and...
