Aah How Great the Taste of Water
Aah... how great the taste of water...
After lounging in bed until
late morning/early afternoon
we (the missus and I) felt restless
as garden variety buffoon
or think chrysalis itching
to escape encased within cocoon
nevertheless, she mustered hubby
long since retired dragoon

In Summer Re I Haint Getting Undressed
In summer re: I haint getting undressed!
Hence donning entire wardrobe,
Saint Nick outfit including,
while trumpeting think spring
argh only about four plus months away
lest some big bird willingly
takes me under their wing
undiscovered since I won't be peaking,
nor...

Of Fatalism
'Tis past the eleventh hour,
As time ...,
Here in the bunker,
I walked away from the Atomic Clock whose pendulum terminated its sway,
Walked I, away from expressionless gazes of our hereafter,
Longings tethered...

Dramatic Monologue
Evaporating promises
Diplomacy can be a fig leaf for surrender
A wolf agrees to postpone the dismember
If you want peace, prepare for war
Peacetime is what aggressors use it for.
Countries have interests, leaders have ambitions
For some expansion is a...

Lyric
Here’s what I should have done
I should have heard all the indications that the level of danger was low; no shots fired, no weapons, no anger or injuries, and no screaming, just a possible exchange of counterfeit currency.
I should have...

Parents
Some parents just let their children run riot
Then blame it on E numbers in their diet
I myself think that times have now changed
The children nowadays are somewhat deranged
Children are screaming for no apparent reason
When...

Maelstrom
Midst mild and wild tumults like eddy, vortex, swirl, and whirl,
A maelstrom is a summation of curl and twirl and hurl;
Weather and season get amalgamated with currents,
Winds, storms, gales, squalls, haboobs, and wuthers become deterrents;
Vacuum,...

Time To Soar
Verse 1
Like a hummingbird with wings to fly, emerging forward towards the sky
Ever receptive to the dream, for all that you’ve witnessed or ever seen
Release and so defy, no greater time to try, just hold...

Too much of a good thing sniffed
The farmer looked on sown fields with dismay,
Be-spotted with tiny holes in despoiled array.
Each spot where mice had dug up and eaten.
Wheat seeds sown with mice-controls well beaten.
The farmer had tried to poison the mice.
Tried...

Summer
Daylight-Kissed skin and tempered glassy waves, Sun and Moon quarreling as twins, school kids bouncing out of their homework-ridden graves. Viridescent balmy plants, stirring through Natures breath, rain dances making God molt tears to near...

Adieux
After three decades and a kicking more,
I deem it glaring waste and blatant loss
To play sad part of second servile fiddle
In elite cadres agleam with ersatz gloss.
Whatever charged scrolls attuned to pelt
With loaded deterrents deft...

Brightness Catches My Eye
Tall, gray, trees stand together like statues
Across the winter’s landscape of hills
Some snow still clings to the arms of branches
Reaching wide, reaching far and wide!
Today, there is no wind in this still life view
Of land,...

Ignorance Roars In Turmoil
We are shaped from silence.
I am struck by life's upheaval loudness,
We've been sucked into the abyss.
The deterrents proceed to extensiveness.
We're still utterly annihilated and witless.
Floundering about in a foreign land.
Everything happens at a breakneck pace...

Squirrels
Tourists gathered ‘round a tree,
With cell phone cameras out,
Are not impressed by daffodils
Or tulips soon to sprout.
They’re focused on a squirrel
Which, to jaded local eyes,
Wouldn’t rate a second glance
But somehow seems to tantalize.
For in many...

Skirmish
6/5/17
Having separate decisions
And on our own missions
Seeing a different image
Me and boy got in a scrimmage
Like it was a privilege
Following or going against traditions
Whether or not believing in religions
On a planet with high gas emissions
And...

Poisons and Venoms
On our globe of life
Animal and plant
Protection for them
To us they grant
Venom's and poisons
To defend and deter
Whether scaled
Leafed or fur
Reactions can be
Ultimate and pain
As each delivers
To protect their name
The slow loris
Amazes us...

Indescribable Joy
An emotional spark
ignites desires within.
And embellished by dreams,
feelings of love begin.
Fantasies cater to
the naive hopes of youth.
And subjected to lies,
the heart aches for the truth.
When seeking a soulmate,
deterrents fade away.
For two eternal souls;
will merge as...
