Mine gerund farming, tilling, and harvesting illogical weltanschauung

Twas accursed destiny

one common Joe biden his time

The oddest sight caught my eyes,
A man, only wearing rags,
But very wise,
Spoke words of knowledge, inspiration and advice,
How to care, how to share,
And just how to be nice,
To...

that you see it practically impossible to climb?
How wide is this Ocean
which seem insane to cross over?

Brace up, put your mind together
and just imagine the snow falls...

sand bags lie in the corner of the garage in case water creeps in, some sheep scurry in distant fields

GOODBYE MORNING PERSON

Sit up
Stretch
Yawn
Head quite empty
Woozy
No remembered dreams
Before anything else    COFFEE!
It’s the cats and me
Squeaky teeth
Sponge bath    or shower
Shave
Nothing profound 
Just life
Just plain naked
On the avenue   ...

A golden brown wooden fence
Made by the hands of my dad
Trimmed dark green bushes 
Leaned amongst the borders
Encompassing the many colors
Bright reds, Dark purples
And mellow yellows
And best of all
A small tree

Able to be seen even...

A Life Hit

ThIt was a life hit,
A one after the other:
For first, there was the coma,
And just the idea of it
To struggle with, but then,
Afterwards my eyesight smudged
Spaces, altered them, imposed
Textures, shapes and colors.
This was...

Fire, fire around us…

Fire burning from the top of the mountain,
 down to the sea surrounded by fire…

Grass, brush, and trees are just glowing ambers…

Fire fighters on the ground while water dropping

Female Newscaster
Written by: Catherine Reinke


Pretty faces
Boob jobs too
silicone lips
and higher shoes.
Porno stars,
contrived
cue cards.
Network news 
has gone to fair!

Lying teeth.
Blinding white.
What today 
is our plight?

Cleavage low.
Ratings soar.
Cannot let
 audience boar.

Murder and terror .
On she reads,
security level
red,...

Striking out of fear he cannot explain, trying to ease his pain.

To his struggle, depression...

I’m dancing with the devil
The very first day your lips and mine met
We savored the moment, for what came next
Caused a big problem, a big disaster
Bombs falling down, even the newscaster

A Famous TV Station 

She has the bland face of a Fox newscaster, not a hair
out of place; yes, and shapely legs too. Faithfully she
repeats the station’s political opinion, not a word out of 
place....

That dreadful, awful eleventh of September,

Clutching at my dampened sheet,
staring up at alabaster,
I hear voices from the street,
I see faces in the plaster

Oscillating fans repeat
phrases set to fast or faster
My TV transmits discreet
messages through one newscaster

As I do the wash...
