Reflections On Postwar American Presidents
REFLECTIONS ON POSTWAR AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
Truman became President by accident, which
probably explains why, on the whole, he did a good job.
Eisenhower, deprecated as an inveterate bungler,
a shillyshallying, grinning incompetent,
is now beginning to emerge as...

The Worst of Humankind - Part 2
Now you’re turning to the south
To save your battered face,
To claim some sort of victory
By flattening the place.
If soldiers cannot win your war
You’ll bomb and you will shell:
Blow everything to smithereens,
Turn towns to living hell.

Who Am I, Really--
Who am I, really? I want to explore my taproot

A writer of many sermons, stories, poems, and tales

Facing Life's Crises
Have we embarked a Ship of Fools
By forsaking the Golden Rule?
And, have we formed a neutral state
Sitting astride the Fence of Fate?
Our devalued civility,
Desensitized humanity,
Deprecated charity,
By deranged personalities.
Appeasing now a mindless guise -
Alternative truth's specious...

Putting On Harness
Standing tall and proud as Punch, Albert, my Suffolk, softens to receive his collar.
I lift the hames across his back,
throw over pad and traces, belts and chains,
while he stands like a scholar.
He has a generosity...

Soldier
The most abominable aspect of war is its necessity.
To where are you marching, soldier,
Is it to some dreadful foreign war?
Why must you leave your home again,
As you’ve done so many times before?
Where this morn does...

Unrelenting Sadness Knocks
Once again unrelenting sadness knocks at my door,
Like the inveterate seeker of my generous charity
Calls on others like me and always demanding more.
Could it be that I am a lone favored mark to score?

The Power of Love
There is no denying the power of love.
It is a splendid teacher
Quite adept at instructing us
In ways that completely alter our character,
And telling us how to be what we never were,
Or never even imagined we...

From the Clarinet
Late November,
and lonely resonance of harmattan
salutes this solitude.
A weaverbird's contralto, in one
gale-sweep, lays bare the lower balustrade
of a maisonette,
and the romance of the last seasons
shoots the long throat of the clarinet...
O'classicals, on wings
ye come;
leaf cusps...

The Insufferable History of a Place
Sitting on a sun-ripened block
colossal.
Sitting in the sun again
I try to control
and strip my clothes,
look my best
for the Colossus of Rhodes.
If I could be satisfied and told
of a refresh of feeling and sense:
the intimacy of...

Vincent
July 29, 1890
Colored daubs and swatches
crave artist’s practiced hand.
Justice, nearly blind, yet watches—
unwrought art upon a stand.
Regard the brushes in a row—
the palettes and the sponges.
Genius maimed by status quo,
vain a hope that fate expunges.
Guttered...

Coterie Part Two
The illicit flames of cajole will wane like an impetuous act of wind.
Annul with impervious aplomb
Waxing perspicacious avenues
Clearing the nebulous
The schism extricate judicious clarity
Vicarious envoy
Omnious stance
Intrinsic string of which I now belong accrues each dawn
Tenable...

There Was a Man From Asia
There was a man from Asia, it was me,
I could not fit in with the norm, I was beastly;
And so, I was living in the desolate woods,
Far away from the consumer goods.

Prisoner's Dilemma
Alone in his cell, an inmate said,
"Truly, I have escaped the baseness of humans-
that inveterate vice which condones condemnation.”
No longer will he mistake loathing for love, enmity for
amenity or abhorrence for adoration.
Here, who you are,...
