It's reality, thanks to the presidential powermonger
whose hunger and thirst for rulership are evident
in the hypocrisy that...

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...

Although yours truly modest,

I will lightly boast about
constitutes lingering
self worthlessness bred

academic deadlines

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...

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...

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.

When we are near the evening of the world."

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;
