(To the Spartan Queen) 

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra via
Mi inoltrai in una selva oscura

Ah, the glorious damned winter
and the inviting  
gray chill in the air.
I meander 
ever 
so
slowly 
past lawns
strewn 
with a cluttered array
of pagan snow zombies -
staring blankly,
as I obliterate pint-sized
snow angels 
failing to don halos

Holiday Phone Calls,
Bah Humbug!
Written: by Tom Wright
12/3/2014

Oft times some politician just wanting to blow;
A Sheriff...

Opening my eyes wide
To better perspectives which don’t flatter
Dispensable pride riding on the tide

Despite unusual forms and storms

Drive and dive to arrive
At the intersection where a queen
Awaits your appearance as you strive

To breach odds stacked against success
Meant...

Oh, Lord! Lest one is asleep,

ignorance stomp, on your...
