Long Extinguisher Poems

From what I could see it was a large triangular shape on three legs which were all at a...

My wife and I were apartment managers for 18 grueling years that rented exclusively to college students, and - though everything I claim here is either disgusting or scary - or BOTH....it’s all true!



Well, it’s...

Food for thought !
Over what has been lost.

Days of long ago - filled with much flavour,
Foods exotic – for the discerning palate to savour.

There was Beef Wellington to enjoy.
Delicious, Lobster Thermador – Oh Boy !

There...

Here ... in Pearl Harbor?!? This must be a nightmare ...
It can't be real - I can't have seen that, yet here I am,
In my bunk cabin on the ship, with only a foot of...

Days like these...the days that drag on and on
If only it was quiet everywhere
if only it were quiet inside my head
Too bad, so sad
this carefully orchestrated area of noise
is just part of the elements that...

Father’s Day was coming and Dragon was already, in full mode.
Hubby was his Hero, a true Papa, like in every story ever told.
Everyone was talking about what’s, to be, their Papa’s Day gifts.
Yep, TV salesmanship...

Hubby was working, out of town, lately, so we went to pick him up.
And we passed thru the town of Metropolis in our ancient pickup truck.
Now don’t think Dragon didn’t notice, that this was the...

Our family and Dragon went to the Mall, not so long ago, in fact just this week.
Looking for some Christmas gifts, on Black Friday, to put beneath the tree.
Suddenly before him, in a Winter Fairy...

Dragon had the acting bug! He wanted that big brass ring.
If the Sheriff of CrazyLand could act, then… so could He!
I told him tryouts for the Wizard of Oz were going on, this week.
So Dragon...

My heart is bleeding but no blood is dripping
My spirit is crying but no tears are flowing
The trees are moving but the wind is not blowing
A low feeling came over today that led my spirit...

I was giving a lesson on the Liberty Bell, as the daily Church bells went off.
Yes, you guessed it, Dragon wanted to ring them, suddenly he was aloft.
Before we could follow, he was out of...

Dragon and the Sheriff of CrazyLand are in competition, Whoa to all!
I think what they’ve developed, must be a macho, low key, kinda brawl.
Fighting became their way, long before The Wizard of Oz came to...

I know very little about life a fact of 
which i am freely willing to admit

And I take it not as an offense when
I am proven wrong although I am 
headstrong

But stubborn ain't a fault...

When the definition of Democracy

Comes negated at both the cost
and price of freedom of speech

And being told what we can and
can not say or do

That to me then becomes an 
overreach and abuse of power

Unless...

Valentines day is always something special to me, I explained. 
So I planned a romantic evening and got ready for my campaign.
The children were at a sleepover with their favorite friends they adore.
So I met...

Mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart
Troubling thoughts spill out like smelly discharge 
You hear people say  ”I’d rather trust a stone than a person” 

Because people’s yes is no longer yes
Lies have...

When I was 19 years old
I collapsed on my twin size collegiate bed
With my head in my hands
And I sobbed
Because for the first time in my shallow existence 
My carefully curated victim complex was shattered...

You can feel them move through streets
Emblazoned with sirens' primary colors,
A swatch of fjord's colonial flagship hues
Left to slap in the wind of reorderd forms
Until sheared into confetti strips. Scripts 
Writ into a code are...

THE CURSE OF THE LOVED ONES

Three bears witness in the patio of love:
The loved, the unloved and the extinguisher.
For some, quite inexplicably,
It's a song that fades untimely or premeditatedly,
For others love is simply lost,
And it...

This was how it went down
                Just before my countdown

When it comes to

What my definition is

Of a good night in

Which and what

Box Sets I want to binge on

These are my preferred favorite's

Placed in no particular order

Boxes of

Cigarettes

Chocolate

Sweet's

Chip's

Painkillers to quell the morning hangover
bound to follow...

RAPED AND EXTINGUISHED IN THE SANCTUARY

Malevolent violence in UNIBEN, Nigeria
a virgin soul in a sacred home,
Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa gang-rapped,
bleeding like a ?? watermelon.
The University church floor and walls 

couldn't surpress her screams
instead, witnessed her...

My mind has trouble wrapping itself around
incomprehensible thoughts of the inevitable.
Fighting against the extinguisher of life’s force
is embedded deep within this heart and soul.
Yes, though I walk through the valley where
this shadow dwells, deep within...

Painted Delilah's,
scarlet sirens, 
apples and bloodshed-

all these,
a breathless, 
quilted extinguisher
to save my soul

Temptation, danger, 
damnation, anger,
a shade of shame;
a reckless taint of hell.

But I'm not a red woman,
I don't go looking for Red,
don't invite it...
