Long Forensics Poems

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

"The Emperor’s New Clothes"

We write about beliefs
our prayer flags flying 
like chrysallis books on a branch 
of those higher deities we trust, 
submerged, we are always listening 

in our quiet hours of sleep
mostly when 3.33...

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

The call came in just after 2:00pm,
Anton was doing office paperwork,
a big part of any detective’s job,
lucky he had never been bad with words.

The word was that a body had been found
by some children playing...

She is a 10, I - her plus 1, a match made in heaven.

The Twelve days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, my true love said to me, I think that’s the police up there. So I drove them up against a pear tree.

On the second day...

I have lost all distinction between day and night
A constant absence of darkness is provided by fluorescent light
No windows available to the outside world
Living in isolation sans any modern day thrills

Four bare walls, no bars,...

How lovely, isn't
It, to have an 'off' switch, shotty wiring
And all,
And a presence lined up to ****?

They are always there
To cauterize the wounds of emotional castration
Without desire to examine
The blood pattern forensics,
Chalking the splatter up

years of abuse add up
someone snaps
the judge gives them a prison sentence
which they serve and then get released
next thing that person knows as they try to rebuild their life
starting from the bottom

They approached you

Are contemporary poets wallowing in meaningless rubbish?
Can they be called poets whose works are incomprehensible?
Without regard for meter, rhyme, or rhythm, I think, gibberish,
They’re line after line of words strung together, nonsensible.

With a background in...

An afterlife awaits a star
on having bid its au revoir
in supernova’s days of yore,
with remnant of collapsing core
impressionistic as Renoir.

The cosmos leaves the door ajar
for astral evolution far
with pulsar winds wherefrom outpour
an afterlife.

In vast sidereal...

If you lived to tell a lie  about your true identity then you never lived at all. 
Emotionally in the inside you might break down, your not your true self to the world.
They can't...

The tip of a finger, barely touching ulcerated skin
   Chamfered ache of reason, or finely balanced whim
  Forced through a reality, where spoons become bent
  Into the pleasure dome, they inject...

(This poem does not conform to some countries only to those that do)

It seems we have become a civilized lot
With bewildering laws to protect everyone,
Although having taken away common sense
To historics in society, we’ve lost...

Accepting aloneness, incomplete solitude, imperfect rest. The garden
wasted, pumpkin patch planted late, potatoes untasted left in ground.

      A thousand email addresses, each unique represents a flame of
passion, compassion, desperation or...

I stand tall; the luckiest man alive. 
Knowing full well, my life's true direction;
For I'll be sure to amount to something, 
Or burnout rather than fade to nothing. 

Though here I stand full of ambition;

A man disappears where abouts unknown
Not at his work not at his home
Days pass as a passer by finds
His right leg in a country wind
 
Days later his left arm in a ditch
All is quiet,...

Sheila loved reading about forensics and dinosaurs that once flew
She adored non-fiction, biographies, mysteries, UFO stories too
What kind of a mother will she be? Asked her cousin Strange Lou.
The kind who showed intelligence, a lifelong...

Forensic science fascinates me
in a curiously, unnatural way.
I cannot get enough of it.
The blood droplets, the hair follicle,
the fingernail that proved someone was
where they were not supposed to be.

Sometimes wondering why this has such an

The afternoon sun 
now clears the trees
and comes through the window
to where you are with your book,
deciphering the clues to reveal 
who committed the crime.
Imbedded in the surrounds
are the rituals that connect 
us to life...
