Poet on the Mic
...Poet don’t feel right
Poet struggles sleeping at night
POETS NEVER SLEEP

But this lackluster slumbering just might be
From the unwavering weigh...

Whisper Man
...A laugh
can be more terrifying
than a roar or a scream
in the wrong light,
In the long night,
Lunatic giggles
Idiot he-haws
Obscene chuckles
When the quiet hour, the full moon time,
Sprea...

Jinxed Jesting Jejune Junior Jobber

just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Human Bloom
...a child collapsed cold in the garden
talisman waved with the wind
violently close to a pardoning-
hardening, molding the kin to her seam inter-winged
horribly marbling volatile harmony
azure...

Horror In the Fog
...Living in fear of trou-de-loup
Jittering teeth as terror unfurls
Fingers of mist become pea soup
Unfamiliar with alien world.
Muffled sound hear dog bark
I think Hound of Baskervil...

...feelings flood my mind as I speed,
at many thousand miles air flow,
hope is dwindling, would I succeed?

The earth is witted, breaking our spades
Tomorrow is stranded because today is wicked
Barking on our tears
These brothers of mine are stranger...

I Want a Time Machine
...Let's convene and intervene,
The misdeeds of Covid 19,
I wish for a time machine.
Nothing could've stopped our daily routine,
Had we foreseen this deadly scheme.
We'd hold the past somewhere ...

Candle Light Won'T Be Quenched
...In the murky dusk,
Holding lit candle in mom's hand,
Ease less standing by my side;
Ready to move to an unknown place,
In pursuit of job;
Held my hand, gazed;
Hugged me, kissed my head;
Drip...

Digesting Thankfulness
...chew your food slowly
your daily bread
grateful for each bite
thankful for those
who sit at your table
wining
masticating
jittering
elbows leaning
mouths wide open
babies crying

I Looked Off
...I looked off
Into great distance…
Little things
No longer distinguishable-
Those subtle differences
I could never name
Anyway,
Could never paint,
Stubbornly refusing
The prime of my colors,
