Long Disapproving Poems

My dog's as smart as a geek.

Love, written in the eyes – of a mother, 
Her heart is so kind – oh, my, she is so kind!

Sometime,...

Each made this covenant, expressed from their heart.
Two people join in a union of love for better or worse,
And vow to remain until one...

An essence heard a heartfelt plea
meek, unconfident, not familiar
"Should I bother anymore? Please guide me."

In Skagway town, eighteen ninety-eight
Lived a young man, Elliot McKay.

To the miners heading Klondike-way,

Looking completely withdrawn,
It makes me sick to my stomach to know you’ve sent her out working,

She’s my age so...

Once upon a most wonderful walk, a girl and her seven dogs
Shared an entirely spontaneous and ridiculously rude,

This may have looked rather unsightly,
Perhaps a broken, unspoken...

We were taught 
that to be qu**r
means to be strange,
to be unlike the rest,
to be different, 
but not in a way that would raise surprised brows 
or taint eyes green with jealousy.
We were taught 
that...

Thoughts melt and distil under a green/blue flame,
Swirling down, separated out and mixed.
If you’ve seen it, it’s broken;
If you’ve heard it, it’s shredded;
If you’ve read it, it’s rewritten.
It's really quite unlikely to be fixed.

You’re cutting...

As I walked in the rains
I saw people with umbrellas and raincoats
People trying to be protected from rains
While the innocent kids enjoyed paper boats

As I saw the kids smiling at their drowning boats
For a moment,...

Human imperfection is our heritance from Adam and Eve.
If any of us think we're guiltless, it's ourselves we deceive.

But, being wise and just,
He first called forth three servants and
Placed Talents in their trust.

He portioned out their share:

after twelve decades
people are narrating
the story of John,
the courageous little hero 
who fought two heartless outlaws;

Morning Thoughts

Sunday morning, heavy mist clings to the building
the bay of Cascais is shrouded as a grief-striking widow 
inaudibly her sigh, but her eyes are still sea green

Once I knew to laugh
with the abandonment of youth;
unmindful of shocked gasps and disapproving glares.
