Gadflies and Honeybees
Where to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?
Where does this all rightfully
and sacredly left end?
These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or...

Streets of Waste
Addiction takes on many disguises
You feel left alone with your own vices
Yet, you don’t think there is a problem
Which is the problem you can’t see
Once your family was willing to help
Now you’re trapped in a...

The Circle of Life
The fog of dull moist clouds cloistered Earths hills
rolling slowly quietly assured with December’s presence
uncovering the steal bleakness of chills

Bark
everyone knows
heart telling tales
that get a dog's tail
wagging after being
rescued from abuse
and so the same for
cats and other animals
that grew up or were forced
to grow up on the shady side of
town not meaning out...

The Revenge of Sylvia Plath: Part 1
Brilliant poet
Whose life was consumed with tragedy
Existence filled with bitter losses
Happiness forsaking her life
Passionate romance
With poet Ted Hughes
Swept her away
Bringing magic into her dreary life
Relationship intensified
And they became united
Living in marital bliss
Coddling their two...

Remembering Mother On Mother's Day
Remembering Mother on Mother's Day
While I was growing up,
I remembered
The time my parents
Bought me a brand-new pair
Of rubber-soled, hi-top, black
Canvas running shoes.
To say I was as proud as a peacock
When I donned the footwear,
Was an...

She Sleeps In Dreams
She is
sallow-skinned, salacious, seductive beauty,
secure, safely sequestered in seclusion;
sinking, shaking, shattered, submerged
self-contained, self-centered in selfless solitude
she sleeps,
a slip of a slenderized, spindly silhouette

How Would Jesus Vote?
How Would Jesus Vote?
By Mark Stucky
Would Jesus vote for striking others’ cheeks in tweets?
Would Jesus vote for grabbing others’ genitals?
Would Jesus vote for separating children from parents?
Would Jesus vote for ceaseless scandals and lies?

Enter15, Exit10
Clutter of echoing chirpings up my sylvan irreverent tune
detaching reckless realities carefully sewn above a sovereign moon
Velvet violin tunes arose to a bittersweet string of polyester prattle sorrows
1 2 3 4 5
afar wraith paths...

The Donna
The florist does deliver upon the hour-not to leave the women dour, last-minute coddling, a sycophant in fact. A Christmas turkey was spent with the in-laws; an act of bravery to cater for the nieces,...

Warm Winds of Wisdom
Upon a drunken path I seemed to be confronting doom
Upon my shoulders I seemed to be carrying a cloud of doom
There I fell crumpled and spiritually shattered
Coddling a heart beaten and battered
Lonely pleas of mercy...

My Divorce
I still remember that day as if it were today
The day papers were served, the day I officially walked away

Dramatic Monologue
Don'T Buy It
Don't buy it,
Scatter the wishes,
However (desperate and maligned),
For all of them,
The (murmur) and the (mesmerized),
Youth-paid homage,
Ill-afforded, unattended and
Graciously subversive,
By aged animals nodding
Approval against the (backdrop)
Of their worst intentions,
Hope that eloquence, depth,
Perceived connection and
Immersions of familiarities
Will...

The Stars Are Black Tonight
The stars are black tonight
they understand this indigo grief
to honor you they dip their crowns
into the ink well of infinity...
The stars are black tonight
mood pared by garish green
even the sun tastes of old dried...

Stingray
STINGRAY
She took you for a ride on the wild side
Taking you through bushels and thorns
You endured the pain of the splinter and shrubs
Swerving through highways and by ways
U-turning to where disaster resides
She played foul
Destroyed all...

Thresh's Halloween
They're polishing their broomsticks
and sharpening their hats
Catching little spiders
and feeding them to bats
Howling at their cauldrons
and cackling to cats
Cradling wooden stir sticks
and babbling for spats
Mixing up their potions
and yelling out their spells
Rebelling that they're no...

Dear Tapan....
I find myself hoping that you'll stay a friend
In whatever venue you happen to end
Though demons get high marks in your repertoire
The one who serves God Sir is really the star

LEAVE
Packing, picking up, and heading out...
It's time to see what it's all about.
Walking away from a familiarity and into the unknown___
Now, this may sound a bit foolish...
But perhaps it's just schoolish.
A time for some learning...

Kaalnek Kuiken Is Gone
Two Fridays ago, a fowl thief
Ruled over hearts, pets, relationships
Broke in (burglary) during my absence
Took Mr. Five (her half- brother) for his unearned pot
I just pray Kaalnek, our baby & pet, was not
Twice victim...

Quantum Crucifictions
Driving in sought direction, a new desire visible
Slick road delivers destined distance, crystal gleam
Wetness formed by years old tears, bidding for
Proximity begged obligation, historic tenuous team
Mother does his washing, aged forty dependant
Criticises his seldom...

Who We Are
Who we are begins at birth,
Our DNA a start,
But every soul upon the earth
From others stands apart.
Our personalities are there
From when we take a breath,
Remaining with us everywhere
'Til we succumb to death.
The quiet, shy, rambunctious,...

Crossing the Lines
Parents get caught up in the politics of crossing the lines,
feeling too apprehensive to discipline their children,
for fear that it will be misinterpreted as brute force,
Although sensibility tells them that if they don't
intervene, their...
