POETIC PREFACE:
An inner conflict dust brew
within this scribe, who offers ye to chew
(like sweet treats metaphorically) thee do

unstoppably ticking,
when life gets turned to global goo
tenderized...

My Coping Method Fraught With Utmost Futility Thus
My coping method fraught with utmost futility thus...
My professional treatment plan
predicated upon duress in extremis
hence Electroconvulsive therapy,
a last ditch effort I avail
and surrender self qua

Like Daisies On Stalks
Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated
intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum
amidst unrehearsed extemporaneous
orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs
nature all aflutter actively...

Light Verse
On Dinner and Hearing the News
On Dinner and hearing the news
Your soft touch, elbow to elbow, not withdrawn, steady;
An unnecessary head on shoulder in lament.
Casual glances, a quiet acceptance of the gift of food
The next night.
The inner tremor of excitement,...

To Godness- is not in your dictionary.
Your cohorts, men.
The way...
