A tornado comes and goes so quick
 Sometimes revisiting on the same day
 Air humid, breathing hard and thick
 Best advice given…get out of its way

 Sounds like freight train bearing down
 Delivers this –Varoommmmmmmmmm

A Convict on the Loose

By Elton Camp

It was eight o’clock and we’d settled for the night
But little traffic was passing so our street was quiet
One of our favorite movies was just about to begin
When Eye...

Bodhisattvas turn airflow into flames,
water into Earth
as Jesus turned baptismal waters
into blood red rivers
of warm nutritious wine.

Bodhisattvas,
like Messiah prophets and saints,
long for

the baptismal political economy
of cooperative ecotherapeutic waters,
as yin flows air MidWay notnot pathological

The dots do I join, to rediscover
That which was forgotten, remembered through continuation
Naivety had my youth shown plenty
Lines of love, professed lies
My aspirations stemmed, by a being not noticing. 

Time has it stopped not for...

As I was sitting on the pot 
I felt a pair of eyes; 
I took a glance out through the slot 
And much to my surprise, 
There was a patch of blue out there 
I'd...

HYDROPHOBIA

 Feeling some disconcert
As I saw some dirt upon my shirt,
I rinsed it out, but all in vain,
For one big spot did thus remain.
 Alas, it had been surely smote
By grease from a gravy boat!

I...

A land unto its own as old as dirt
Condemned by voguish northern state of mind
This realm you'd be hard-pressed to disconcert
Though his'try would prefer it be maligned

The secret twisted oak and winding creek
The tapestries of...

Contemptuous of his home beyond
The village and the village pond,
A large-souled Frog who spurned each byeway,
Hopped along the imperial highway.
Nor grunting pig nor barking dog
Could disconcert so great a frog.
The morning dew was lingering yet

On some days it will rear its ugly head
to disconcert when all around seems fine,
and offer choices different instead
from those I've made to build this life of mine.
It teases in the street, a passing glance,

Night to the wake of a Dawn
Hardly can it’s birth be forgotten
Driven by the Deep of the Dawn
Bewildered in past present so rotten

Wondered in dark-deep abyss
Oblivious in the trodden lines
Yet broken the mind-ark in reminisce

It took me time to embellish 
myself
And long to reach you!

And there I stand confronting 
you and lionise,
Behaving uncontrived and 
candid!

And now you waste golden 
moments talking to my better 
half,
Bereft me and become 
nonpareil!

Your...

The unusual fragrance looms above my room, 
Its owner not yet known, 
Its purpose still a mystery I assume 
Sweeter than any other fragrance I ever own, 

Its mood is ataraxia, 
Cold soothing scent, texture...

I’ve enjoyed many successes,
even though my mind plays tricks.
Thoughts vanish as fast as they come,
and here I stand transfixed.

A racing mind is very difficult,
to keep focused and alert.
Anxiety is my shadow,
no happiness, just disconcert.

Can one...

Everybody’s mishegoss*
Is different from our own.
One person’s crazy fears won’t match
The ones to which we’re prone.

Spending time with others
May surprisingly reveal
Ideas and actions out of sync
With how we live or feel.

For all of us succumb...

When folly leads; to wisdom…
By the way of endless dreams
'Pon a backdrop psycadellic where, 
There's nothing all it seems’

I have struggled with good reason
made forays to shore-less isles
Lived a lifetime in the instant  
Rode...

Today I played the game of dread
To learn how long I might be dead
Just take forever minus now
And  disconcert this furrowed brow
In sweet subtraction minus then
Add in the nights of dreams
And where I’ve wandered...

My husband noticed, near my bench,
A spotted lanternfly.
I didn’t have to kill it;
Something else caused it to die.

I’m looking at it, upside down
And really, it’s a pity
That something so destructive
Can look cool and downright pretty.

It is in winter when my shadows appear,
It is at night that I shed a tear;
Remember you makes me break,
And all my body aches.

At midnight I can see you,
But you leave me at two;
You always...
