Java without the Jive
The coffee mug that my ex-wife bought in London has come to America. Its printed message says, "Best Dad Ever." 30 years of morning coffee later hot Java clears sleep from a clogged throat. This day, I ponder on the merits on not being the worst dad ever. Luckily there are no mug logos that convey only partial truths....

Bull-Jive
Bull-jive in the hood is where stories intertwine, Where truth and fables dance, reality does resign, A complex web of loaded words, the web of deceit, Where facts, fantasies, and twisted rhythms meet. Bull-jive’s an art of spin, the craft of what’s untrue, Cool cats bust sham grooves, with masterful review, With a mouth that’s slick, and sugary words so keen, Brothas...

Jive Season Nursery Rhyme
You know the Old Lady who lived in a shoe, She led the Autumn Jive with Little Boy Blue, DJ Peter Piper looked suave and dapper, The Old Grand Duke of York, *MC and rapper The Trees of the forest turned up for the rave, The old Willow sporting a clean cut and shave, As they twirled gilded leaves in a...

Premium Member Deep Dive Jive
Divin' Deep down there's guttural gurgles and burbles Jivin' in the respirator. I dive deeper, still deeper than I've ever been before. The seabed is littered with littoral lie-there's just layin' about, praying to be picked up by some swim-on-buy kid like me. It's a jalopy junk yard down there. Old shells long discarded by hermit crabs looking for joyrides in new digs and sporty convertible squats in...

Bumble Rumble Hive Jive
There is a bumble rumble off in the bramble ramble jumble with bees hovering as the sedum flowers crumble, flowers perched in fading colors reds and browns as summer welcomes winter to town and autumn begins to shut life down; the buzz feed hums in less quiet gatherings upon the petals of seedling jabberings ...

Dead Jive
Do annals violate incarnate divinity? Justifying a man’s inner repentance, Wisdom cannot cry from lips of insincerity, Yet what a sham, becomes this penance, If temple anointing flows through dross, And faithless arms is moved by pulse, Then what O man is the message of the cross? As madness reigns within these skulls. A separation of ties from mindless covenants, Blatant words from a...
