Pandora's Temptation

For the third time Pandora stands before the box
Inlaid with jewels ivory and gold
In her hand is the key – she closely examines
Intrigued by its intricate patterns - so ancient- so old

Her Creator’s mandate she...

Whither the Fates Carry

Whither the Fates Carry

Anchors aweigh in 1609, Anno Domini!
A convoy of ships laden with cargo set sail
And departed Plymouth harbour to cross the Atlantic
For Jamestown, Virginia, in the New World.

But a hurricane wreaked havoc in...

to be an instrument of terror
except maybe for the habitual

speaking of which

When I Was Drunk and Wanted Big Words

We are all improbable in our own way, 
and who can augur the future?  
I never could have laid out my course in advance, 
though in looking back it all makes sense,

Longer Shadows of the Moon

He is caught between one life and another
while my pain lengthens like a shadow of the moon
We are like leaves, played with by the wind

O lengthening dark vision
reaching across our lives
It came, at last, without...

Don'T I Belong

Hidden though unsought
Ran from myself
Still got caught.
Mind, Body, Soul wrought.
Vengeance no longer mine
And yet I insist to ungently reside
Within the "desperate to love or to be" walls of my own heart.

Most continue to disrespect my...

Ante La Presencia

Nunca antes le daras cavida
Entre manos el oro se hace sal y agua
Mientras una luna de bendiciones
Amanece el ser de maldicion
Quemando los poros de nuestras virtudes
Sera el final en llamas?
Que sera de nuestra proxima generacion...

flip a coin

two sides to every coin
sometimes, 
the head speaks
while the tail roars
twisted by the pain
tales of their fame
an infamous villain
sent to the stockade

Tales told, and evils sold
A penchant for vengeance 
Minded by spite, and grounded in...

outside our bedroom window -
round    and green   ornaments,
thrown to the ground, delicious,
in my apple-knocker* pie. lifted
off Autumnal floor, sliced with lemon, cinnamon,
and a beginner’s grin.

Lottery Ticket: a Beseech Form Poem

Worthless lottery ticket!
I blew a pound,
Hoping you would be a winner.
I only used a quid I found,
But I could have spent it 
On something wiser.
Worthless lottery ticket!
Should I become a miser?

Stupid lottery ticket!
You won ten...

There's No Place Like Home

I adore our beautiful island
in the middle of the Irish Sea.
And since we've entered lockdown,
there’s no other place I’d rather be.
 
All my travel plans were cancelled,
so I’m enjoying a super staycation,
and my lovely little...

O Fortuna

Do we come upon a time 
in life,
only to find ourselves, again,
drifting, in and out?

And then, perhaps, find a door...
that may have been there
all the while...
in the midst, thereof?

And do we contemplate some power,
greater than...

What Will Tomorrow Bring

His hands are folded softly in his lap
To better handle troubles bearing down.
Fortuna comes, but will she pause to rap,
To offer balm or ease a troubled frown? 

To better handle troubles bearing down,
He rises up...

Thorns

I reached out
stretched farther than ever before
I'm not sure what I expected
why I thought it might 
end differently this time
Audentis fortuna iuvat
Fortune favors the bold
My fingers pass through
shadowy specters
grasping at ghosts
phantoms of fantasies
mocking me maliciously
leaving...

A Letter To Salicious Crumb

Dear Salacious Crumb, where did you go?  
I saw what Luke did to the sail barge,
as Leia jumped off I witnessed the blow;

Echoes of your ceremonious laugh 
lingered after that swift disappearance;

Life keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Skipping chances and big wins
A lucky strike is not allowed

You might try hard to survive
To be the best and beat the rest
But in the end you'll...
