My son’s name is Dylan, was country raised
in the hills of Wyoming where cattle graze,
helped on the ranch, but never felt fulfilled,
hated his hometown as teens often will.

But he ‘did his time’ until graduation,
went to...

Tower, buzz and scurry
Oh great resilient city
Ahoy!
Alive.  Scramble bustle earth's
 ethnicities
On lurid quests--
A pendulum of tantric turmoil and
Blessed harmony

Quixotic city--brash,
Sangfroid merotomized and
Chrematistic--metro nonpareil.

See a myriad melange of
Tortured splenetic
Souls and great spirits
Noble and soothfast

Great city,...

I cannot help but notice that,
since Wuhan virus was released,
we have seen a real absence of
those who proclaim themselves elite.
The lawyer and the professors,
the politicians and the like,
have all become somewhat useless,
and some have just...

Be not harried by apostasy spates
Surcease ye flux of basilic imprecations
Adhibit ye ,supernal paracletes  
The pith of divinity

An Achates,
Vae victis
In this temporal realm

Chatoyant fanfaronade
Sursurrant congeries
Erelong abate
Shun the gaffer's gammon
Arcadian maundering

Avaunt kaleidoscopic zealotry  
Bandy...

Britain thought that they were tough-
told us what to speak,
pay your taxes and shut up-
just how it shall be.

Born in the woods,
for our families trained to fight,
not pushed around,
farmers who protect their rights,
fight in the...

Summer Fairy Land

Beyond mounds,beyond dells,
Thorough thickets,thorough nettles,
Athwart sludge,athwart crag,
Into creek,Unto mist,
I dost err upon the ether crest,
I dost stray deep brine,
Rovering hither and thither,
Forth pasty cloud saddle be,
Soaring swifter than the blazing speed,
Soliciting heaven's shower...

It definitely is not, but some men act as if it is.
"This is a man's world," sang James Brown,
but he ended every chorus repeating the refrain,
"But it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a...

In the castle of her longings
She awaits the drawbridgr lowering
In her piled days many endings
Times anxiety behind her panting

She awaits the coming of her love
Sir knight with constant memories
Her heart within her a restless dove
Until...

I walk through life with a smile, 
a fake one frozen on my face
You would think me a child, 
if tears fell down my face.

I'm strong in a storm of razors and salt; 
wearing my...

Gleeful roses turn to sullen churls,
And virgin smiles of shyest brides
Soonest morph into widowed furls;
Sad victims of your ill-bladed tides. 

Swearing lovers of staunchest troth
Must sample your bitterest swill too,
And forfeit bonds of grandest worth,
As...

The leaves are dead and rotting
The fish buried under the mud
The bear is in his cave sleeping
Snow floats down from above

The Earth is solidly frozen
While my heart burns with such heat
For you, my love who...

Catwalks
Crowd gawks

Wont style
Forced smile

Strike pose
Fake nose

Weird strut
Flat butt

Scant curves
Unnerves

Small-hipped
Lunch skipped

Stick-thin
Chagrin

Faux tan
Pecan

Plucked brow
Used plough?

Long lash
Bleached 'tache

Plump lips
Veiled nips

Waxed mound
Astound

Forebear
Despair

Sweet girls
Morph churls

Sly pout
Grim trout

Taut thighs
All lies

Make hot
Post-shot

Airbrushed
Not hushed

Mere gaud
Defraud

Model?
Twaddle!

CARPE DIEM
 (In memory of Robin Williams—“Seize the Day”©Dead Poets Society)

as I write and as you read
time churls and runs its
furious speed

never be a victim of
down cast past events
hold onto love

launch with cosmic lightning storms
through...
