Territory Trample

Headlights messaged through midnight windows 
Curtainless glass unable to subdue the urgency 
Car obtained in street nearby was theirs temporarily
Three hour drive to ship leaving island next morning

Two sixteen year old girls barely registered surprise...

Well Suited

Having been unemployed for some time, I had a fresh job prospect,
As sunlit rainbow beamed jaunty colors, the last time you checked.

I really needed some good news, as my savings were almost gone;
And without the...

The One In the Lavender Dress

She looked peaceful in her lavender dress-
as I suppose she was. Eyes closed as if lost
in childhood dreams, small hands folded across her chest.
Her glasses resting beside her auburn strands,
lips pleading for color, her face...

Rape - trigger warning

October: I'm eighteen, shortcutting home
through an autumn-burnished churchyard -
copper-lustred leaves, moss-skinned stone -
a jaunty swing of skater skirt and arm,
college folder square-sturdy in my hand.
In the moment. In the last pale pulse of sun.

Hey, can...

Quixotic

In a world where dreams are rakish and quixotic,
Where quiddity seems extravagantly chaotic,
A chivalrous soul dares to be different.
With a heart that beats fervently, so magnificent.

Romantic notions dance in their minds.
A visionary quintessence they find,
Chimerical...

Bleak November

Who of us by late September long to be in bleak November?
A month that in this frigid clime is dark and dreary, out of rhyme.
Leaves all spent and soggy lie beneath a gray and grizzled...

The Wabi-Sabi of Tintern Abbey

Things bloom more beautiful when breaking down.
The nave now ploughs through foams of flowering trees,
a frozen caravel.  Kissed by the breeze,
the river surface suddenly seems to frown
exquisitely. The apse’s jaunty crown
of weeds above one...

You Must Remember This

Tonight I’ll disconnect the phone
and lock all doors
and close the curtains.

It will be me and my TV,
some sushi maybe
and some wine.

The couch and comfy cushions
now a small tropical island
in a sea of quiet bliss.

I’ll start...

Spring Festivity

As spring unfurls its mystical charm 
and masterly sprinkles star-dust
to rouse nature from the cradle of slumber.
Joy overspreads through the excited cool breeze
that carries the invitation to each and every one.
It's the much awaited lovable...

An Incomplete Love Story

My true love and I met for a moment, in a train station, after I had stopped looking.
I remember the moment like yesterday.  I had just turned twenty-two.
When I looked up and saw his...

I, Chimney

One rain-soaked morning at the mill owner’s behest they assembled on the hillside.
High above his workers’ harsh existence, building commenced on the mansion.
Brick by brick, inch by inch I emerged.
First floor reached, two sturdy hollow...

The Tale of Timothy Catchpole Part 2

Timothy shivered as the evening cooled,
he pulled tighter on his little coat.
Suddenly, right in front of him stood
his arch enemy - the Stoat.

The Stoat circled Timothy,who, shivering on the ground,
tried playing 'dead' on his back.
"Nice...

A Blimmin' Cold Day, Even For Grandad

All avenues are amphibious arenas
Bubbles belch-burst, bitter Bacchanalian bombs
Clouds' cast-iron crescendo creates cold cantankerous caricatures
Drenched - darkness descending, daylight dying, disappearing duskwards
Every eye echoing every eye, emotional evidence enveloped
Fake furs, fashionable fools, firm friends fleeing...

Irish Roots

I'm a piece of Ireland, far away across the sea,?
American I've become but I'm very proud to be?
Forever Irish; and forty shades of green?
I sing it from my heart, picture the Irish scene,

Church's Easter Hat Parade

Lavender turkey eggs amid purple straw hat
With fake turquoise frosting, 
She sits next to me in the hard pew
What kind of sugar ants will be parading up here now?
For I see this is real frosting...

A Writer's Words

A writer’s words

Brain jaunt jaunty to the fingers,
Fingers alchemy and become words

Words written with fire of emotion
Spread across the line
Which the writer cannot cross

Mermaid of the Sea

They call me a siren.
I glory in it, and swish my tail
The water flicks into the air, 
and the air laughs
We are in jaunty moods always,
the sea and I. She is my friend,
and I, her...

Hey Come Join Us

Bathed in delightful unknowingness I keep to myself.
I am not tempted to jump into the sewer of negativity I see unfolding 
The pool that often times seem to saturate and permeate this pack.
