Long Caldron Poems

Of which my comedy does not take care,
We walked; and reached the top, when seeking
For watching the next slit, then we stopped there

Ah Consuela! Invoking vast vistas for visions of green Spanish eyes,
I discern them again where she left me back then,

Snorting, snarling, spewing, glowing
phosphors from its flaring, hairy nostrils
the Truesoarius is a mythic dragon
that stalks and lurks in lore.
Never cowering in a cave,
ready to rise from the deep seas
or from mountains poised to pounce,
in the...

GUARDIAN OF HAUTE-SAVOIE

At Pointe Percee, a dragon's lair:

A hotspot where no tourist stamps their passport.
The roar of dragon’s mating, females laying eggs.
Wings of rushing waterfalls, winds of alcoholic breath.
They yearn to take flight, to frighten...

12 BARS

Twelve  brazen bars, one frozen lock!
Confined, sublime, an ancient Roc
endures inside a barren cage,
her catacomb in sundown sage.

Of former days there is no trace
except displays of fallen grace –
Twelve dreams, abiding in her...

I’m a witch of the modern times,
Nay my caldron is not round but square,
It has four sides square, and it’s called a microwave.
No bubble, bubble toil or trouble, with this new
Modern age tool, I just...

stand starkly upon the snow

An eerie mist spreads across the swampy moors,
At midnight's tolling hour, beware peasant or royal,

Stuffing flags in the window
and calling it home
valuing our space
as our space!

Picking up rocks from the driveway
like when we were little
rescinding our past
like some nightmare of repitition!

Respecting each other
for what we couldn't accomplishment
and/or understand
a moment...

The creatures of the night howl and swoon,
As the cursed emerge from hallows of the cryptic
Shadow realm, for it is the devil’s night, of incantations
Mystic spells,...

Michael, the archangel,
was found dead on my lawn this morning -
stuffed inside a Gestapo boot. 
Crisp, black leather 
containing the remnants 
of abandoned halos and wasted youth,
boiled in a caldron of political mire.

A hierarchy of...

Beyond this earthly realm.
Can you imagine a beautiful girl,
Deep in a lush green forest dwelling. 
Everyday she followed the tangled paths.
Flowers bright and lovely delighted her,
Gathering them in...

the saturation of the nerves
the brain sweat
the dreams of static - caught between channels

the compatibility of the senses
the easy talk

A soft blowing breeze lifted her sun bleached hair
The sea crashes on the jagged rocks below her perch
Her eyes, the gray shade of a distant floating cloud
She turns on bare feet and cautiously moves away

“The Cost of Freedom”



A line has been drawn in the sand…..
Between the haves and the have nots.

What one has toiled 
To enjoy the fruit of his labors -
Another now covets to own…
