Pray,
If you should tell
All that you have bottled up
Who will you tell?
Who will believe you?
Stories of swollen head, slit lips
Blood, brimstone and bonfires 
Laboriously ignited to silence
Rats, rabbits, dogs, roaches and mosquitoes 
Stories of brazen...

into my severance of free days.
Safe in winter with my kids and Blue’s Clues,

Dawned smiles a first morning’s remark
nurtured those long talks into...

With full apprecation of all thing concidered.
In respect to all that are involved..
Its defintion becomes it reason to exsist.
To grow from the seeds: which harvested
shall be fruit to nourish, and seed again for

Sitting quietly on the lunchtime break
	in the room now empty of all
when quietly she does walk in
	and seeing her youth the memories begin

on the stage as auditions began
	as each of us tried out for one...

I write because silence was a tyrant
with a velvet muzzle.
Because childhood was a soundproof cage,
and I was taught to swallow every scream
like communion.

“Poetry is not therapy,”
the judge says—
but he has never been buried alive
under the...

Because the conditions of
his prior affairs were
preconditioned
to his partners current condition
he would often
remove himself from
people
fearing he would be seen as someone
who hands out unsolicited advice
thinking before he spoke
he looked to futures
rather than live in the...

Thirty years as an actor have shown
That it takes more than talent to make a star,
Though I tried very hard, I didn't get very far.
When auditions were past
And I didn't get cast,
Here are some of...

Limericks

There once was a small rabbit from Siam,
Who always proclaimed, “I think I can”,
In time he did grow as white as the snow,
Now he gives auditions on the tram!

There was a smart fox with ginger...

But under the garments and jewels she wears.

separating birth from death,

Doors and Entrances
by Odin Roark

How telling
One's 3-Act duration
Entrances never made
Hesitations made permanent

Many the time
Parental forbiddance
Deterred admissions
Touching the knob only
Never pulling
Never pushing

Today
We carry decorative memories
The...

Belting out the chorus so loud
Needing a prompter for the lyrics
No one listening in the crowd.

Waiting for his next go
Playing the air guitar
Putting on a show.
