Reprobate of a Draconian State


There's tyranny taking place in the United States.
Fear of it becoming a Draconian State is not just a threat.
It's reality, thanks to the presidential powermonger
whose hunger and thirst for rulership are evident
in the hypocrisy that...

Circumstances

Circumstances
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Circumstances leaves you few A chances.
No nick, no pick, no give me more.
Just a little sauce.
No custard tart.
You on shoestring circumstance
It's rough-and-tough
In the orphan jungle

All I can stitch together in memory is my big...

The Secrets of Love

Once upon a day, two pretty women strolled down a pastoral park that offered their cheeks the most countrified caress and their eyes an orchard of assorted pomegranates. 
After succumbing to weariness, the two courtly...

To What End

I waited
Under the outspread foliage
Of the banana tree, 
With ripening fruits dangling precariously, 
Wondering, 
With eyes set on the earth, 
Wishing I understood
This everlasting madness.
To what end would man go,
To what end? 
A mystery it...

Inferiority Complex Viz Mine Mien

Inferiority complex viz mine (mien)

Although yours truly modest,
the only personal issue
I will lightly boast about
constitutes lingering

self worthlessness bred
if not prior to first grade,
than most definitely incipient,
academic deadlines

loomed large with dread
and exacerbated by procrastination
quickly adopted as...

Better Off a Cowboy, Part I

My son’s name is Dylan, was country raised
in the hills of Wyoming where cattle graze,
helped on the ranch, but never felt fulfilled,
hated his hometown as teens often will.

But he ‘did his time’ until graduation,
went to...

Putting Two Worlds Together

For 39 years I learned from the students with Autism I was teaching.
and the most important lesson I learned…by far
was how the true greatness of a person can be judged
by how they treat those they...

IS THIS WHAT YOUR GOD INTENDED

Doesn’t it seem preposterous, absurd and certainly a little odd
how we spend so much time arguing about religion…and fighting over our Gods?

Whether worshiped in a mosque, a pagoda, a church or a synagogue
New York City,...

Grimey

It shreds me when released, then bursts into confetti.
Words are papier-mâché, articles of all of us, tabloids torn apart then glued
back together piece by piece. 
Playing pretend made a masterpiece that will be gone before

Clouds and Candy Raindrops

as a child, 
I perceived
the wonderment 
of Clouds. 

and elders 
likewise contemplated 

the curious celebrity of them

the solemnity of shape-shifting skyships

their charity of rain:
	encouraging fruit 
	greening hills
	irrigating joys
keeping 
watch 
around the earth 
in as enviable...

Zeal of a Poet

the grass of indecisiveness does not grow."

with a zeal burning like a roaring flame.

The Only Star For Me

Bethlehem, a star attraction, out of thee,
Among the chilliads, the small, the great.
A shining example - how grateful are we?
How deep and wide, one stellar star of fate.

In storehouses: blessings, rain, mannah and snow.
Likewise, one...

A Failed Marriage

My shallow waters have failed to hide
the deeper agony pulsating inside.
I could forgive your lies but not forget.
Do you have remorse, do you feel regret?  
Feelings were buried in a shallow grave
as we failed...

To Sir

To Sir,
or Whoever Runs the Universe:

I’m here to say
   your vision appears flawed
   your choices bewildering and sad,
The pure besmirched,
The good disparaged as but fools,
   and the precious,

Tomorrow

You took proper care to stay just ahead of me,
but I never lost sight of your crafted distance.
My desire to be with you was strongly sincere 
so, I often sat on your edge with persistence....

Jimmy Was No Good At School

Jimmy was called names, discouraged, disparaged,
 	The only people who pretended to like him were my mother,
 		And Miss Kneeland, our first grade teacher.

Jimmy loved my sister and me.  He was three times as...

Fear

Fear… 
Fear is a shudder,
It is trepidation,
It is danger,
But most of all,
It is a never-ending feeling of evil and desolation

Fear…
Fear is blind,
Fear is disparaged by a mans actions, 
It is a beacon of despair through...

Burnt Out

No one saw him come or go,
he just appeared
jerking around - a mute puppet on fire.
His strings must have been thin
too thin to hold a flame
or maybe like his eyes, they were fire resistant.

Age Disparaged

"The body, like the oak, is bent and gnarled,
The shallow-rooted mind is overthrown,
When we are near the evening of the world."

Past Despair

Cut off from reason the thread of despair
Falling past angels and falling from care
Cut off from fighting the truth of my fear
Gave up my hope when I looked through past years

Pain and recall has buried...

The Paranoid In Katatonia

In poignant solitude, I cried in vain.
Like a delicate being, I screamed in pain.
Helplessly trapped like a dying prey,
I secretly wished you'll save me one day.

Each day has passed like a strike of lightning;
yet no...
