Seems old Senator Cheatum keeled over and succumbed at the local mall!

To ensure...

The Snowman
Encased in ice and frozen
So the world could not break through,
The beating of my bitter heart
Soon faint and thoughtless grew,
And from this frigid, frosty state
A life of snow was born,
So followed through my days was...

He Wanted Me To Be Happy
Love is hard,
Love is tough.
Its ups and downs,
Spin you around,
Like a never ending rollarcoster.
When it gets rough,
do you stick around or do you leave?
sometimes that even gets me.
I had this man for almost two years,
when...

The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty
Too many questions, way too few answers
Why would an egg wear blue pants, sir? And
Wherefore his fall? Perchance he was struck with a lance, sir
Or could it be he keeled over...

Life in the Penalty Box
The course of life is like a game,
that many play for wealth and fame.
The rate of play can be so fast,
that many players do not last.
Millions fall in the game of life,
through causes that are...

The Deadliest Dinner
The feast was over, the diners filled,
When abruptly they keeled over and their innards spilled,
Unto an immaculate floor, courtesy was disabled,
Spewing their filth upon white walls and cluttered tables.
In a sudden realization of what had...

Welcome Sign
It caught my eye as I walked by
On a cool and cloudy morning
So, I stopped a bit to stare at it
And right away with no dismay
The memories came flooding back
Of an August day thirty years...

Doctor In Trouble
Jersey and Teddy had become very sick
Together they had drunk some very spoilt milk
Both went to the doctor, the pain was so intense
Doc Duck quacked and peered at them through a very thick lens

Laughing While Grinding Axes
The lane leading into the alley was lined with weeds
False intentions masked by good deeds
The end of the chosen route turned out to be dead
Too many conversations for one man's head
So he began snapping at...

Society
Girl
In short black dress
Standing infront
Of un wanting crowds
Staring through
Her soul
Dismissed
They look with judgement
Seeping through
Dark eyes
Jeering at her misguided mind
Perfect?
Ha! she'll never be
Far to different
This one is
They surround her
Like predator with its prey
Looking closely
At the...

Sigh of Relief
Pushed up from stomach's abyssmal pit
Choked off cries, constraint deformed
Packed with panic's punches
Right here where words are formed
Throat cords tightly gripped
Resistance rules my holding back
While mouth stammers mind blown shock
Fear sped thoughts fly blindly
Wild-eyed in...

Drunk On My Tractor
I get up early, a rancher with chores
Hay grows in fields, animals shuffle, roars
Dawn breaks its steel grey grip on my land
And I, well, I have a clear bottle clutched in hand
The first swipe, the...

Delaney's Ascent
Delaney laboured and wheezed up fourteen flights
of stairs;
The block elevator was locked down again
In snarls of singing, zinging wire and
Squealing cogs and pulleys, all rusted
In sooty shafts of drip-dripping water.
No matter how much bellicose, reactionary...

A Hybrid Dog
At first, my dog seemed normal to me
Doing the things that dogs do
Then he started signaling for turns
And stopping for red lights, too
There came a time when he wouldn’t poop
Like anyone else, he...

My God, My God
she weeps in a forest clearing by a pond,
the full moon above her head turns everything silver,
her silent tears create ripples on the waters surface
her voice echos in the dead silence as she cries out

Sewing Machine
Sewing machine, long idle, gathers dust
Its graceful frame a filigree of rust
Needle, naked pointing to its resting place
A symbol of the toll all life will take
Sunshine streams surreal through silent space
Past the broken stone that...

The old argument indelible as night
The word is the substance
The blind bringer and giver of light

For what she wrote was "please we
Miss you" on the flesh of memory
And that line like...
