He didn't have backup plans
He doesn't know...

then wrapped my sweater tighter from the cold and discomfort. 
I glanced fleetingly into desperate, tearful eyes
bruised egos, painful cries and...

I am in the Doctors Waiting Room
Waiting for my name to appear on the screen
I’ve been here for twenty minutes
Oh how much longer before I am seen

It’s embarrassing enough for me
Without the whole waiting room...

Blood ran from her gums onto her teeth

Her husband and sons had died horribly

The whimpering child clutched her mother
Soon, there was no...

they snorted and toiled
the sound of swords being hammered
the vanquished lay screaming
a tale of rank deception
with a maniac for the wind
and damnation in the boilers
trailing smoke and scrap metal
basically they peel your skin off
and noisily...

A curled-up bundle of skin and hair
Adorns the window-seat
The sorry remains of Kitty
The old lady down the street

To those who saw her struggle daily
With her heavy shopping trolley
All of her ignorant neighbours
And her estranged sister...

Ugh, Why Must The Missus Vacuum At The Crack Of Dawn?
(circa: early December 27, 2018 morning)

There appears to be a
virulent (possibly deadly) strain
of housekeeping virus
Hoover ring in the air

A high school English teacher 
Issues a challenge
Her class
Is to write a poem.
 
Reading a student’s poem
Her experienced eye
Searches for
Imagery
Metaphor
Tone

Ultimately the student’s poem
Is graded a gentleman’s C.

Somewhat surprised
The student admits...

Let’s hear three cheers for the decade of disinfectant!
Clean out your insides with cheap vodka!
Blow your brains out with Nirvana!
Your breath reeking of teen spirits,

Does weed count as a vegetable?

You’re getting your five a day,

Recently, my ears have heard
Some news that sounds quite absurd
My eyes can’t believe what they have seen
Is this for real, an outright global panic
Regarding the Coronavirus COVID 19
An epidemic that has turned pandemic

Thirty Shades of May

Did my stimulus show up today?
Do these masks really have to stay?
What the hell happened, we say
Can toilet paper be added as mainstay?
When can our children go and play?

Will social distancing keep...

Like the mediaeval skirmish, defeat with stale dismay
Adjacent to every dwelling the silent donor plague;
Masquerades of scarlet doom as those who pass away
Unhygienic circumstance with umpteen reasons vague.

A stagnant
Fragment
Beside a magnet

Found placed in an outdated
Basement
Sitting adjacent
To something ancient

An area with stuffy air
Was here then there
Going up the stairs
Some of which needed repairs
Went past several chairs
And a kitchen table with a bowl...

Children playing happily in the street
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

The days of old appear to...

(sung to the tune of Dolly Parton's “Jolene”) lyrics by: Medgar Fallon Roe

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!

A pandemic was foretold
Trump ignored...
