The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

Macabiloquent Mastery
As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant...

Portrait of a Hanging
With the opening of my fortress cell,
solemn-faced men come locust invading in
Their mouths smile not, and eyes neither grin
as ceremonial words pursed lips expel
A deer thought escapes ... my life nears its end!
And I feel...

Path of Contemplation a Song
I walked a long path today. Off in the woods nearby.
My dogs walked with me, and took side trails on the
sly.
A little trail becomes a deer trail, through the
eucalyptus and pine
The oxalis grows wild...

Dramatic Monologue
When the World Grew Wings - Full
There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)
For when she spread her wings
so few could believe;
and fewer still
could keep alive the dream,
that had awakened for all to...

A Gentle Violence I
Is this the price we pay for our right to have guns
the blood of innocent souls lost to oblivion: a gentle violence
Forever a mental brute, a slow gentle violence
of unforgivable action, wither insane...

The Prophesy of Invention
Prophesy of Invention
Compositions of profound illumination resonating from a prophetic musician
Impositions that compound remuneration as the economists of capitalism demand an inquisition
A tired physician’s diagnosis that confounds all surgical precision
A technician becomes...

To My Pest-Friend
You are my pest-friend,
As you may not know,
And I deem it my pleasure and privilege
To write this panegyric of you.
Mostly chocolate brown in complexion;
And very rarely, if ever, you produce a freakish white.
In your worldwide...

Lens of Life
Can blackwater lilies
sing forth sonnets
of daylight and
unsung those
cacophonous notes
of omen, which
rhymed with
sombre elixir
of spruce rivulets and
veiled your crimson
touch of life,
in eons of unforgivable
death?...

Heat
Flies, drawn to their only sustenance, cloud around my head.
In this cloudless desert sky - blank, deep-arching cavern of thought -
Unblinking sun stares down but this fire-bird will not fly,
Has no...

Window Neighbours

The Men Who Write Your Christmas Movies, Part I
I used to be ashamed to say that I
once wrote for a rather large company,
the kind the likes to print up greeting cards,
and for some reason, make Christmas movies.
Now this caused much consternation in me,
I...

Ballad of An Unsung Hero
Vivid flashbacks from bloodshed battles
his soul still ravaged by devious dictators,
cries from fallen comrades still echo in his mind,
but he continues to walk upon a path of pandemonium.
Reluctantly he ventures forward with
vengeance portrayed through...

Ascent and Descent
We have a tendency to focus on our flaws, despite it being what makes us human; what we despise is what one desires, and what we desire is what someone despises.

Rats in the Cellar
Rats in the cellar, squirrels in the tree,
things aren't the same as they used to be.
When I left for school with my li'l lunch pail,
I didn't expect a penguin to swallow a whale.

Roto Rooter

Yolanda and her Singing Saw blade
captured the intellectual integrity
of a generation in readjustment
freedom springs only from freedom kids
so lock your shields and set your pikes
and whatever else unmasks the poseurs
making mischief...
