lonely poets, writers,
musicians and artists play here,
they wear masks that cover
vermillion dripping smiles
over sharp little wolverine teeth,
they drown their sorrows in their muses -
contemporary little monsters – Still Life,

The Tower Rebuilt
I shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in

Now and Then and Now Again
1
Though still within our infancy,
we strive to thrive, but woefully

display our trophies pridefully.

The Wandering Minstrel
In history one can read of an earlier time,
When poetry and lyrics written in rhyme,
Were commonplace. A travelling band
Of troubadours would wander the land,
Writing and singing, to bestow delights
On ladies, peasants, and errant knights.
Their...

A Harlem Hoodlum Albeit Respectable
A Harlem hoodlum, (albeit respectable)...

cuz reasonable rhyme resembles flimflam.

AOC, AOC,sitting on limbs of a dead

Shooting innocent cows so merrily!

Puzzle Stomped
"Puzzle Stomped"
Pieces scattered
placed on a table
with boundaries
between
the incarcerated margins
there are strict conditions
Time drips
its wet connection
each piece a stair fitted
imperfectly
perfect
towards upwards
new mirror reflection
a cracked heart piercing
the tear with...

Ebony and Ivory
Go ahead, try to separate the races.
You politicians have egg, on your malicious faces.
Not realizing in your frozen hearts.
You toss imperfect, very hopeless darts.

Can separate friends of the American nation.

Danger Island Dumb-Dumbs

Scare the blazes out of a management bum.

Feisty gales pouring rain all around.

In a tiny smoker...
