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 !

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...

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...

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...

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...

Painkillers to quell the morning hangover

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...

He appears in a photograph of his life
there are no faces, nor anyone
who lived in a memory.

Images develop.
That long table was a smorgasbord
where he left only bones and crumbs.

There is a mirror on a transparent...

I’m so excited about this election
about America and our direction

We’ll trust old men
to make big decisions
elderly men
of compassion and vision

Men who were there
when the work was done
when we went to the moon
and warred in Vietnam

‘The food’s a little spicy’ ~

‘She’s got a figure to die for’ ~
   Somewhere under those layers of flab.

A Flame Once Burned

The new girl gathered her books as the class bell did ring
That’s when I noticed my heart’s spark began to fling
I followed her to physical Ed

Big Daft Dave
With his smiley round face
Has left this life 
For a maybe better place.
I'd not seen him
For many a long while
But I'll never forget
His why me smile
Or his great 
Infectious grin;
Dave was never slow

I think you're full of . Selfish big style men in suits.

The subway platform is empty,
posters, the occasional bench
a fire extinguisher in a locked box,
over-stuffed trash receptacles,
the usual graffiti.

No people, the strangers you travel with,
all those commuting shadows
that you hurry by -
an absent factor that keeps...

When I first saw the
ectoplasm,
I was startled at first,
Then I remembered,
I drive an old hearse

Maybe there's a way,
to make this thing pay,
So what do you say?
Give advise, if you may...

So I conceived of a plan,
Daring...

Humans are a social species, the men
in white coats, whom we have been
taught to trust, persuade us. Mr. President
mills about, run-of-the-mill
if you will, running the mill of the party,
the gathering. The women, like bushels

Since I'm vegan and don't eat any meat
I say I hate jalapeno peppers because of their heat

needing a fire extinguisher to put out the pyre,
