And Still I Drive - Part One
Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

Obese
Now, I am not a huge man
I'm not large by any means
In fact it is surprising
I still wear normal jeans
My pants don't have elastics
I still use normal towels
But, my BMI stats tell me
I'm a word...

My Auntie Winter
My auntie winter's icy breath wacked my bare face hard, when I step out earlier on
She gave me the cold shoulder and iced me out with a frosty glare for no reason at all

In These Times of War
within these times of war
Within these times of war
Within the times of war
Silence of its terrors calling
Children play within their laughter
Now recedes in cries of torture
Screeching whistles scrap metal clusters
In murderous heat of summers day

Hidden Beauty
Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse
To so...

My Secret Key
Rolly, rolling in shallow surf, every wave a wisp
that'll move me through this sticky sand to the lush land.
Lumbering, waterlogged, soggy heap in my tux,
arms flopping, flailing about, cool currents fill my ears;
mere vestige of...

The Widow In Her Cabin, Part I
It was back about 1803,
there stood a small cabin near to the sea,
where a widow lived by the name of Joanne,
who could not grieve for the death of her man,
since six years back he’d vanished...

The Passionate Pirate
“In the days of pirating
Much pirating was done
Some for gold and riches
Some for glamour, some for fun
But nothing fills a pirate’s head
With such tremendous joy
As when he’s got a lass in Blighty
Waiting for her...

Caravanserai Heading Toward the Levant
a tsunami catapulted cruising skiff
skyward landing with quiet thud
across undulating infinite granular waves
formerly solid state rocks and minerals
optimism vibrant upon initial unforeseen
crash asper for test dummies
foundered as undertow fostered diminishing hope
initial faith for survival quickly...

Cerulean Odyssey One, 17-20
17
the narrow path took a sudden turn
I pushed the main sail west
where tiny tugs push giant timbers
portside down shivering rivers
to the end of broken islands
and ravens who fall asleep
no more stealing noon day’s sun
havoc on...

Evening Fry
A priest once told me that the lump
on my hand was a ganglion,
a fortress of fat besieged by health.
At last it burst and the hand swelled
like an old man's,
shovel shaped and splayed.
It was her black...

Spring Break Vii - Ocean Flowers
The former blond model pouts and primps
Swinging her hips
Down the splashing catwalk of shoreline
Sand caving to her imagined heels
Wheeling to her awaiting Israeli mogul
Her shoulders set so far back
It’s as if she’s walking backwards
Puts herself...

AWASH AND AWAY! © KIMO
Listen, Katrina will come inland
Katrina has come to play
Playgrounds underwater
Sleepy times put asunder
Bedclothes hung out in tree tops, upended
Held fast in forked boughs
Homesteads beached, broken

Prelude To Disaster
Space travel in ordinary time,
The woman tries to concentrate on her book
on change and the power of positive thinking.
She is not succeeding because
Her seatbelt is cutting off her circulation,
and the guy with the headphones...

In the grove of life, where the fields of time were greening with beginnings
In the grove of life, where the fields of time were greening with beginnings,

You crossed its silent threshold, coming with empty...

Danger Island Dumb-Dumbs
We knaves had orders both explicit and dumb:
Scare the blazes out of a management bum.
Thunderstorm weather rocked wide Prince William Sound,
Feisty gales pouring rain all around.
My partner and I took our overseer
In a tiny smoker...

Several things I've been pondering for a while,
None of them have given me reason to smile.
but I'll only reference two of them for now...
Those I've included leave me with furrowed brow.
