Long Holidays Poems

- JANUARY -

A freezing cold evening

Where the stars shining bright

With frost blade flanks

From mouth and nose steam

In the clear silence

White untrodden snows

Nature's frozen pulse

Sleep like a little baby

One gracious moon

After the night the...

 no more ‘Make you Cry Poems’
I said I'd never write another

 And for three years 
I tried not to retract,

A Year Of Months (July-December)

8. July

Great time to languish in the afternoon,
and later, watch an evening...

My question begins with, why do men cheat?

in a virginal bridal gown 
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille 
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal

Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee

"The Emasculation of Man"
 


The world goes by loudly
emasculated man

greed-fuelled 
knowing all 
blind to the 
supernatural
natural course...

Her cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics
Lay on my chest like it’s a hammock
When she isn't calm
I can't stand it
Cause behaviors like these in women
Can easily become habits

Though no political pundit, nevertheless...

I trumpet the withdrawal
of democratic contender from out the presidential race.

Breaking headline news story
courtesy rumor monger premieres
showcasing emphatic groundswell

Easter as interpreted by one...

rebated, rebelled, rebirthed, rebooted,
