The Foreclosure
By Elton Camp

It might seem unwise or funny
A house to buy without money.
My middle-income job isn’t stable
To save a reserve, I’ve been unable.

But such negative talk I truly hate.
It’s no valid reason I should...

Just sign here please

I just received the foreclosure letter
the foreclosure letter
my God is this really happening
no one is coming to save me
don't they know
if they would start lending money
people would put me to work and
they...

Oh Happy Day

Financial crisis
the Dj's sold out to the man
oh happy day on the radio
collective karma is the God they believe in
while Mammon teaches his machines to use phones
bill collectors and spam salesmen are calling

No particular rhyme nor,
reason explains to boot
within mind of this (boyish
looking) ole coot,
why sudden flashback didst

kickstart metered metrical foot
when during bout with anorexia nervosa,
I did not give a hoot
analogously harried and swiftly kicked
with barebones styled...

Little I ask, my wants are few,
I only wish a roof and home -
a simple one this man will do
   that I may call my own.
To within its walls live and age
with a...

EXPIRATION :
Existence of certainties and uncertainties, 
Governed by disclosed and undisclosed warrantees,
The story is actually a mystery. 
Promises become unfulfilled, 
And the expectants turn to wail. 
If we choose to talk about that,
Nothing would be...

No’s


Talking to themselves in the third person
Detached, separate, 
ominous—a stilted nuance that does want to know  
Abrupt attention spans lashing out as the deadends foreclose
Cutting back on all the backslapping
Having wanted to believe all...

In midnight gazes call me sullen upon my cheek
Rousing replies risen bound by chains 
Lest mercy be tallowed by all frays 
Lest my cheek rise by an untimely hour
Rid my face of discoloured honour
Until it...

Heaven’s Doorway

Heaven’s Doorway is open wide
All are invited in.
There’s just one prerequisite—
To be free from the taint of sin.
God’s love and mercy
Provides the appropriate attire;
Your surrender is all you need;
The faith that leads you higher.

Heaven’s...

The heart was rendered silent
Buried and freshly cut
By the nuance of the moment
I was destroyed as the space closed shut
The pain of disarray
As my emotions I did disobey
Buried in the silence of indifference to myself

     We cherish Autumn days when Summer goes...
         her landscapes of bright colors do amaze.

Mother in the kitchen stirring a batch of lemonade,
Children in the wheat field hide and seek is what they play,
Father in the shed tinkering with his little trains,
Grandparents listen to music talking about the evening...

 I 
Love to talk about pain -
to listen ... what I need too - 
Because all know pain

 II 
 God knows Father's pain
Wait! No separation in pain
Suffering is a stepping stone

Did I hear them sing Hosanna, yesterday?
What did you drunk them on
For the passover feast is not real alcohol
Did you call them to repentance too
So they before your heaven comes
Could settle old scores with you?
No...

Head of the Rescue Operation gave it to the World
Quietly, a universal Operation for children
Who may play in the World Cup someday
A coach barely 25, who helped 12 survive
Yes, the Chiang Rai Cave Rescue has...

Autumn Royal

We cherish Autumn's gift when Summer goes;
its fire of red and ginger scenes amaze.
The beauty of those brilliant hues foreclose
the thoughts of Winter gloom post Autumn's blaze.
Rich amber, cinnamon, and pumpkin haze
stretch wide for...

Of the orb I speak in awe
Of the Moon with its slender claw
Finite in size, elysian in presence, there to watch
Crop the doubt, step up a notch
As is he - facile princeps - a sublunary...

If I'm naked
 how can you pick my pockets 
And if I'm homeless 
how can you foreclose on my mortgage

If I'm going bald
what why should I go to a barber
If I'm sick why would I...

(This is a fictional poem)

Years ago on Halloween I wanted to wear costumes that were scary.
But my parents always made me go as the tooth fairy.
People laughed at me all over town.
It took years for...

her eyes as dating as it shames the bluebells petals of beaus 
It seemed so opposed yet I wanted to foreclose 
She was  the luminescence of...

MIDNIGHT 

The hands of the clock show midnight is near
Will tomorrow soon show itself here
As midnight descends tomorrow's not close
Promise gone
when time clock's hands foreclose 
Finding tomorrow is chasing shadows
It's elusive as wind on endless...
