Nailed all thoughts of mind,
So well do I train it to bright.
A shackled bone screwed to be tight.
Positioned keenly through a line.
Strapped without sight....

are taken hostage without a clue to the cause

Flamingo
The body electric; it moves about
On fire from a heart that has exploded.
Suspicion of me; eyes on me. I didn’t do it!
I merely sat idly by while they killed themselves
With drink.

Ode To My Pen
My dear incredible pen,
you are the pinnacle of writing instruments! Looking refined with your elegant ebony shaft and gold-filagree trim, you are a true technological wonder to behold and a master calligrapher.

Woodstock
~Woody Wood From the Hood~
Deep, inside yourself, you walk a sour way of life,
Carving my name, on every tree with a hunting knife
You log in, then log out
A Birdman So Fickle, he Stinks of doubt!

The Pen Points To This Point and Period
The pen points down at this point and period
Then it points to the Egyptians
Who used the stars to pinpoint the pyramids
They penned the Book of The Dead in their own language

With a Typical Language
Vocabulary
that’s all which comes to me
painful conundrum so carefully written
could I say
I say so many things
place upon a kiss
a page of eternity
but awkward things are not who I seek
such inadequate verbs
punctuation to piece together
the ecstasy...

PEN
PEN
At first, it was just another pen
A ballpoint, as is called by some
Not one in that old clear plastic
But shiny metal, looking fantastic
A present, as fancy as they come
Quite the classy image back then

Your name is 242
Says the yellow paper
At the end of a patient pen

Readied with fingers, anxious
to continue shuffling
A deck of cards
Of which I am one
Or 242
But in any case,
zero
Because with one...

Once Your Fool
An April fool
twelve months out of the year.
And it’s been a full calendar year
without you in it.
Empty spaces
take up my planner now.
Devoid of you and me
and all the plans
that we made together.
You’re gone,...

Big, Big Bird
I saw a big bird today at a local zoo.
Its habitat is akin to that of a kangaroo.
It was glaring at all as if to say,
"Okay! I saw all, now go away!"
Its digits can...

Comparing the 1500s and Now
This year 2021 seems so very hard
with covid and all its limited implications
but it's worth comparing centuries before

in the beginning,
there was a cathedral

I could discern blood
congealing,
my face had cracked
in a mirror of denial
and as the horror
of a putrid filth
unmasked in its entirety
I hid,in my castle...

She Proved Her Point
All she wanted to do was to prove her point.
What goes up must come down –
She packed climbing gear and grabbed her ballpoint.
It was time for the dauntless doubter’s meltdown!
