Here she sit at her thresholds corner;
Looks pity but craving to blow a vandal,
Crazely permitting no one to untie her shameful sandal,
Eagerly wish people...

Collisions between yours truly and the missus

Space at a premium
in our apartment
lettered and numbered b44
at Highland Manor,
cuz the spouse
heavily trends toward disorderliness.

She readily admits her predilection
to disavow being a neatnik,
yet owns the capacity
getting down to...

A Storm is whirling in town this week, as Dragon’s sidekick is on a streak.
Yes, the little Dragoness is here, and its havoc, she does endlessly wreak.
She took her cape with a small “d”, and...

Something created. Does the creator think ahead
or spill a storm. Rain happens. We supply the
reasons. Evaporation of water collecting over
huge expanses, condensed and pushed as clouds
over the land. We say it makes us sad or...

The noose is a nightmare for any seafaring man
Especially those who thrive the best they can

Danger lurks on the waves like a mugger in the shadows
The only concern is the prize and the gallows

For the...

It’s hard these days for a crook.
Go anywhere around and take a look.
Ain’t no shops to rob of jewelry.
They all closed up and got security.
Not even restaurants for him to rob,
and at the grocers’ Lordy...

Came from Baltimore by Pigtown
Where they like to lay the law down.
He rebelled against the ground rule.
Had to grow up in reform school.
Got acquainted with a curveball
Dealing pepper by the church hall;
Broke some windows, but...

She was a strong woman like no other
She worked as a Board Of Education Lunchroom Manager at...

I remember the day I got the call.
My world fell apart.
I had lost it all.

I remember the day you were taken from me.
I knew your beautifull smile I would never again see.

They said it was...

Go back to the wonderful country
is the best suggestion;
this escape can save many
from the cold desolation, 
and the worthlessness of dignity!

Those who once chose 
to live in overcrowded
and unsafe inner cities
choked by thick smog, 
destroyed...

I sprinkled dry yeast in warm water
And watched it bubble up,
Then cracked open a fresh laid egg
On the edge of a measuring cup.

I dumped in a helping of all-purpose flour,
A little oil, a pinch of...

The Thief Autism

Thief!
Childhood stolen by cowardly thief ~
Hiding in the shadows – masked face!

Bandit!
Holding hostage gifts and talents ~
Creation’s praise left penniless!

Feckless burglar!
Looting joy!  Friendship hijacked ~
Words embezzled in mute babbles!

Surly swine!
Poaching laughter! ...

Old Death is a scar,
an empty eye socket, a lost limb.  
It has been grieved and we leave it alone
most of the time except on long drives
or sleepless nights.

New Death is a police siren...

Naive like a teen in love
You sheltered her in your cove
For in that rainy night
You were her only light

She was lost and desperate
Alone and abandoned to her fate
You helped her dry her tears
And fight back...

There are “functional psychopaths” among us,
different from their murderous counterparts
who use their detached, unflinching and charismatic personalities
to succeed in mainstream society,
and in some fields of work most shockingly
the more psychopathic individuals are more likely to...

I stand here yelling
false tales at you,
soon I walk out of
the door; I feel 
stupid and foolish.
I reach a fence, it
shines in the dim
street light.
I hear my name being
called; peering at
the bright moon I
ignore the...

I always wanted to fall in love, 
To make my heart suddenly beat faster, 
To connect the colors of life, 
With the melody of love sounding. 

He must be tall and patient, 
And with jokes...

Inspiration


A fly which past fast zings
Like a bird on beating wings
A leaf that in wind flickers
Like a curvy girl on knickers

Or a Wretch who bemoans
As a weight lifter that groans;

Flying quite ethereal across
Clouds that gather...

What just happened is something that can't be undone.
A mugger tried to shoot you but I jumped in front of the gun.
I couldn't let you die, that's why I took the bullet for you.

Run thru the half-baked moon, snag slices
of dark fear, to cast off the forward bow
or stuff into mud-duck's ear.

Strap a double-edged blade high
upon your thigh. Greet the mugger 
with courage, leave him shrunken.

Shore up the...

It all came to an end last Sunday in Santa Fe.
The love of my life was violently taken away.
A mugger shot my wife even though she gave him her purse.
She was rushed to the hospital...

(This is a fictional poem)

I got mugged and I was beten, stabbed and left to die.
I couldn't get any help from the people who walked by.
As I laid there dying, things looked pretty grim.

For that me, there is another me stealthy;

He’s a rocker, a mod, a violent young youth, 
He bashes whoever he sees,
While she is a mugger when the sun disappears, 
She’ll destroy, pretty much, both of your knees,

And he says he’s gay so...
