My prayers are not asking you to
 
save me from my enemy.
 
My children have turned their backs.
 
They praise dance with many
 
Adversaries-
 
When they need be refuking,

“The Penelope Squad”



A line of bluebirds 
tittering on a line
swaying on the winds
like comedian pageboys

poop in the peg bucket
words wooden and sharp
fly off with frosty notes
dirt and sherry stains
imprinted on 
Penelope’s...

Since English language my mother tongue, no surprise...

etymology encurtains, encompasses,
and encapsulates healthy fixation
why I can spend countless hours

until after I crucified the Cilician pirates on Pergamus,

Words. Have you ever wondered 
where they come from? 
No, I don't mean their etymology, 
rather where in the brain do they spring from? 
Thoughts come, and then go, leaving no traces of their passing;...

Today is the birthday of that
long gone soul. The one spinning

Deathless Aches, Heart's Desires


Thoughts of Heart are as mystical ships that traverse
Ranging amidst the restless ocean ways,
Their crimson prows surging through the sunrise,
Their golden sails adream in evening haze.

Thoughts of broken spirit wander sadly
Unfriendly waters;...

Grave of silence,
Death on meter,
Consequence of disobedience remarks its keeper,
Smiles on our face,
Brute speeders ready aim!
Up above is a sky,what's up is a fame,
Benovelent subjects awhile,throwing crab speeches into ear,
Down from the hill,down on gear,

Cryptic colloquial eloquent words possessed

Often elusive eschewed from the theme

Limericks and rhymes avoiding etymology means

She an emissary of exonerated poetry banned

Refused extrication to facilitate an easy read

Hoped the...
