Regressive Progress
In Shaker Heights, Ohio,
founding fathers co-invested in:
Change doesn't happen
without planning
This, despite
unstraight
unwhite
unmale volatile experiences
feeling sometimes victimized
and sometimes blessed
by unexpected weather transitions,
despite feeling like vulnerable chameleons
on a highly complex day,
despite feeble farming
in narrowing spaces
between floods and famine,
Despite...

Salieri Soliloquy
You give me the desire
a love for composing
word symphonies
yet you give me
the cross of mediocrity
to bear
day by day to know
there are others
who are prodigies
and I must hear
the thunderous applause
while at best
I get...

Pecking Sounds
Pecking Sounds
For several days, I was both annoyed and worried. Annoyed by the pecking sounds; worried over possible damage to my house by something that I could not readily figure out. I suspected it...

Had been looking for diamonds and gold but then the escape shaft caved in
Gotten shafted and the stake stuck like an...

Can'T Make a Monk Out of Me
A plush monk’s life was my designation
Before the process of dissolution
Then back to now, fast extrication
From enforced seizure and desecration
A simple life it was for me
Amid fertile land, its fruits aplenty
The chapter house was full...

Avariciously She Wanted To Be a Poetess
Two Poems
Avariciously she wanted to be a poetess
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...

American Revolution Reaffirmed
Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.
Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.
But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled...

Self-Interrogation
Self-Interrogation
by Odin Roark
How carefree the traipsing inward
Responsibly free
Charging capsules
Poured golden or clear liquid
As acceptable excuse
Yet once inside
Accountability rears its head
Or heads
Never doubt guilt’s...

Extrication
An attic full holding me earthbound
thunderous applause without virtue of sound
looming overhead no room left for expansion
Wall to wall misery held without ransom
Offering no absolution a glut of misspent thought
Imaginary treasure that offered truely naught
Unsentimental...

I Don'T Rap Like Rappers Or Write Like Poets
i don't write poems like poets
or rap like rappers
i flow boats like rowers
talk what matters
wasn't raised on council estates
still a victim to down force weight
gravity pulls seeds from trees
it's a vertical growth without no treats
see...

Kitty In a Soup
Kitty In A Soup
Our town has its usual vertical ups and downs and horizontals
One day a gray kitten still finding its way
Discovered a long cylindrical corridor
A seeming hallway or in its tiny mind
Another place...

Passion Is a Hurricane
Ending of the thought
does not bring a lull.
It is a sequel beyond
my reach. An old extrication,
I dig for my roots.
The forgotten names,
the unhealing wounds of a doctrine,
a tiny memory of pulsating embryo,
not...

Extrication
i’m talkin’ to you through a screen, it hurts that i can’t touch you,

Sonnet 5
Now comes the day when thou art no more here
To prattle with me rend’ring soft delight
As thy heart knew that mellow joy, clear,
Untainted free from world’s many a plight.
Transcending din of town, thy musical charm
Reached...

Tangled
Like marionettes
fixed expressions once carved
in virgin wood
always to smile or frown... or
a "Mona Lisa" grin
always to be wondered upon.
Have our strings grown
from a simple few
to too many,
always tangled with another;
tripping on thoughts and steps

Junk
Today is the day.
The day to put in records.
The day of extrication.
The day of riddance.
My albums are clean.
Swept them before dawn.
My archives are clean.
I reviewed it down.
The photos she left with me.
My ex girlfriend.
All down...
