The Old Way



In the rain shadow of Majave Desert I eat hot sand
I am singing with their Death Valley
I have allowed them to build my faith under a Joshua Tree

Premium MemberEmbarrassed and Shamed


   I have said with pride all my life,
   "I am an American!"
   We will always be on your side.

   Embarressment and shame,
   Fill me every day.
   Murder and hate crimes increase with no release in sight.

   Failing abysmally with our

The Little Thunder

I saw a streak of living flame,
with no regard for rule or name;
It tumbled through the morning grass,
as if the sun had come to pass.

Its paws struck earth in tiny drums,
like thunder where the daylight hums;
The wind bent low to kiss its ear,
the sky leaned down to watch it near.

It charged at leaves, then spun

Howlin' Like The Wolf

We're goin' out to Idaho where the potatoes grow
honey we're leavin' quite soon
but if you call it quits then I've had my chips
and like the wolf I'll be a-howlin' at the moon
I'm over this Sunshine State yeah I can hardly wait

but if you say 'No way!' and you wanna stay

Premium MemberSummer Passing

Impossible beauty, summer in swell,
Fragrance aflowing and fluttering around;
Though now, I admit, I don’t see it well,
I know – my ears! – all the birds by their sound.
Heaven surrounds me, but only for now;
Howling the winds that shall crash on my head;
Ripping the flowers that live on the bough,
Never see summer return in its stead.
Perhaps

Premium MemberAM I Right


   Why am I disturbed by the sight?
   Everyone having a fight.
   Lost in beliefs they are right.
   Never listening to the others light.

   The others must be wrong.
   Don't look like us or very strong.
   Instead, we fight,

Premium MemberFour men in restaurant


   The first man had a wife,
   Helped him with dressing and strife.
   Kept his sweets near,
   Made sure he never looked over here.

   The second man and his wife,
   In baggy ill-fitting clothes.
   Took the leftovers home under his clothes,

Premium MemberHowling Wilderness - POTD

The path is lost where wild winds press, 
No compass holds beneath the sky— 
We walk alone through wilderness. 

The thorns of time, the weight of stress, 
The silent trees that do not lie— 
The path is lost where wild winds press. 

Regret is thick, and hope grows less, 
Yet still we look, and still

Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -

To wit:

- the half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me.

Far far ready to say maybe to love;
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.

("But weren't their novel 'dogs-of-war' and lovely
