“Barking Up the Wrong Tree”
ghost gums
shed their bark
the min-min
makes good use of it
papyrus, soft enough to
imprint and write
thoughts, like the
ripening welts of
green ants
small bites sting
subcutaneous and
meridional,

Freak Accident Prone
I was a diligent safety engineer, modifying the hazardous work practices,
Like the thrilling festive celebrations, when you open up pretty packages!
I took my work very seriously, and my motto had long been safety first,
Like waiting...

The Old House and the Specter
The pale apparition swirls in on night mist.
It envelopes her body, then breathes out its kiss.
Cold to her cheek as the fog to the shore;
She utters a sigh then sleeps deeply once more.
She’s new...

The Final Solution III
All hope was vain and nothing could atone
for deeds beyond atrocity defined.
These demagogues turned nation hearts to stone
through apathy and rhetoric maligned.
Though hell’s regime forged mechanized deceit,
the mighty Bear bore guilt for kindred aims.
Barbarity would...

Moscow III
And all the world would change forevermore,
for solitude’s content has come undone.
Its island bliss could harbor it no more
as destiny unleased the rising Sun.
The sleeping giant woke to see its rays
unfurl their wrath...

The Final Solution II
Let murderers subdue the guilt within
let not such burdens weigh upon your heart,
for bound by oath, your troopers are akin
to brothers that share equally in part.
‘Tis fiendish pride that fills your evil corps
of blackened angels,...

Stalingrad I
As gods go forth to set the world a fire
‘tis ego that consumes the despot mind.
While domination seeks its epic spire,
the raging wars from east to west align.
‘Tis mere despite that veils a wailing world

Homeward bound
Prodigal hides his eyes
from the prying
Pride stops his soul
from crying
Sun burns his
blue eyes blind
Too long in the long shadows
a sunshineless cage blue sky denied
He has lost...

The Familiar
"The Familiar"
Softly ever so Softly

Red Apple
scent of
Her sword
a peony pink pocket flushed
velvet violent violet viola

warm honey dripping
from the pocket
it buzzes
as if with...

Thine Art Loveth
HARK, whilst thee singeth melody,
gauged labyrinths midst harmony,
ransom subconscious, placed thee free,
persuade possessed, heed thy purged glee,
beg reposed heart thy beating plea.
Themes prune labor to a degree,
song finesse thine assent of thee,
music quell sorts of...

Committed To Winter
There came no sun
Unrecognized impeached the source
No in time spring lifted us from sleeping
And the icicle ink
Wrote itself with frozen pens
When the chill in the world
Found there came no death in flames
And now we...

Never Remember
(Author's note: It has come to my attention that the U.K. has decided to eliminate Holocaust
education from its curricula, on the grounds it may "offend" some groups)
So, for fear it may offend,
The truth is...

MY HIKU COLLECTION
2007
*
the country stile
hedged the wild flower meadow
where I sit awhile
*
shadows in the sky-
fluttering across my eye
a brown butterfly
*
on the wind,a bell-
muffled from across the square
raindrops fill the air
*
on the lawn
lily petals timeworn-
summer draws to its...

Whispered Morning Glow Secrets
Written: September 16, 2023
______________________________________________________________
Arcane sunlight in early morning stillness,
Dancing by a veil of mist with rare brilliance.
I huddle near the window pane, pondering,
In this calm span, where dreams are wandering
In the atrium of my...

Worthy
She sits at the lunch table with her good buddy
a Greek fellow with no english
she-a canadian with no Greek tongue-
they commune like there is no tomorrow
siding with each other
against
the staff who would wash them

The Monk of Aeons
O thy divine flame till eternity must burn,
Thine thoughts each mortal on crust must learn.
Servest thou each bruised heart in trepidation,
And allurest thou 'em all to peachy innovation.
For, know not one but thy thought's...

One man, one bomb, packed with rusty nuts and bolts
He bides his time, picks his spot and halts
Then detonates a foyer, full of mums and dads and kids
Who are blown apart, blown asunder, blown to...

The Sun
She stared into the sun.
'The rays are not for everyone.'
She placed the thought back in the deep;
'the presence of it would light me meek..'
She replaced her gaze back to a face; before it was,...

Broken Back
Broken Back
They use words like
Cold
And
Crossing
Sighs
To describe something romanticised
Obscured verbs
In which to hide
To hide
Romanticised
The suffering
Without a name
It asks you not to worry
A vacant voice
Verbalised
Tears
She cried
Lies
Nomenclature of disheartening
Hope
Borrowed between shadows
Between hearts
Flowers
And chocolates
At peace
At last
Unburdened
Released
Love
Child
Romanticised
To a...

As Lovers Go
When Summer starts her transitory reign,
King Sun, her beau, has steadily ascended,
brightening a sky that, for a time,
shall be his lovely mistress’ domain.
He reaches out his welcoming warm rays
