Long Black sheep Poems

Good boy gone bad enters the stage with a spotlight overhead, despite being misunderstood in my ghetto neighborhood

is scooped like 
an over ripe melon
Time is the incorrigible felon,
the forgotten lost garden explored 
overturned and raked, 
neatly messed, 
in more ways...

They say that God is clothed in white,
A throne of clouds, a robe of light.
The angels, too, in linen gleam,
Like snowflakes stepping through a dream.
The lamb is white, the dove is pale—
All heaven's cast in...

MR. FRITZ AND BLACK SHEEP  :

Arrival at the clinic,
We're here to fix things.
Where's the the dentist?
This dude tooth's aching,
Thus Black Sheep;
He's not fit for some days.
He returned from London last two weeks.
It's pain's such...

PIG IN BLUE
I knew a pig in blue
Who liked to tell us what to do
Parading the place, policing the place
And he did bad things few people knew

I knew a pig in blue
A corrupt old guard...

Maybe we’ll stop somewhere nice
like a KOA campground.
A kid can hope. It’s hot and it would be great to go for a swim. Instead we stop at the liquor store,

On a downward spiral

It plagues the life of...

"The Haunting"

was a crime

of a thousand 
cutting knives

Chilled to bone in soul’s dark night,
Stars obscured by doubts, no light!

Dream that ‘death,’ at least, is...

What more do I have to offer?
