Long Deftness Poems

Education has never deluded me,
it is a rich mine from which my gemstones are extracted;
and all of them can adorn with its brilliance 
a king's crown, but the glitter on my silver pendant...
with my natal...

Awaking to exceptional day, I noticed obviously gross, uncut grass,
all glaringly exhibiting growth in degrees ordinarily considered unusual.

Many are the memories of Hoosier farm life as a lad that I recall.
One was what Dad called 'hog renderin' that occurred every fall.
When he proclaimed the old boar had reached his maximum weight,

A poison pen
And a hypocritical conscience
Can so easily be cloaked in 
High morality

Prate on
Knock them down
With words
Slay them in the name of
Public opinion

Write on
Right all the supposed wrongs
That provides fodder to pay your bills
With that...

The Poet
On the cruise ship was an unknown poet,
His style so hot, that none could approach it.

as the green leaves rustle above the conscious...

With a body so fine and rare
     like a lover who comes afresh
with a glow that's both...

Fumes of valor,
Sins weighing all the hopes lost,
Demeanor of power,
craving for success whatever's the cost,
Deftness of a prodigy,
