Daylight Savings Time Ends – November 5th 2023 means...

discombobulated, harried, and lobotomized

Argh Daylight Savings Time – March 14th, 2021

Once again, yours truly
dishes out his regular dose
of literary gobbledygook
even Count Dracula
would not even bat an eye
nor give me his evil,
(albeit harmless) look
regarding feeble effort I undertook.

Don't forget...

Growing out of childish pranks,
With the storm and stress of turbulent teens,
I locked within my mind’s cupboard,
A portrait vaguely sketched, but never finished.
Rough it was, though fancifully done,
The silhouette of a masculine figure,
The Gallant who...

After the betrayal
The veggies are being chopped whole day now by me
Lady fingers, carrots, cabbages, cauliflowers and chili.
The mocking eyes of each one make me thoughtful once again
Turning back, seeing them I feel myself bare,...

Love in Cyberspace
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

It's easy to fall in love in cyberspace. 
Keeping hearts there, faults exist without care.
And dream's every fantasy finds its place.

Thought's sanctuary, deepest secrets lie bare.

The guide with his cheesy hat, and colorful umbrella
encourages us to: gather 'round.

His anecdotal spiel is by rote,
his shtick fact-slim and slick,
but it’s also my current gestalt

All Things Can Tempt Me

All things can tempt me, albeit, rapture,
Quill be as ready, for the next chapter,
Favor the poets who savor the art,
Eloquent locutions sweetly impart,

Whilst landward We strive for the unobtainable peace

 On the oceans reigns the universal cannibalism of the sea 

Quite like the quest by Captain Ahab for Moby Dick seemed fancifully lofty

So far away that we can only see them at night.
They help the mariners steer their ships through the sea.
Mottled against the sky, they are of great beauty.
