All 
humans
were made by 
God. All have the
same roots, same body  
internally.
Need for love
found in
all

All
those who
believe that
some humans are
superior to
others forget 
God resides 
within
all

All
those who
criticize
forget that they
are criticizing
the creator,
Almighty,
who made
All

All
humans 
act out of
ignorance. They
forget...

Not once did I question your Love for me

By my side you stood

Safe within your shadow I grew

Believing in all i could be

You gave me Faith in me

Blessed by Love.........


You wanted the best for me

Why do I write poetry?
It is something that helps me relax, like painting and cartooning.
Most of what I have written probably isn’t poetry at all
Just really short short short stories
When people ask for a specific...

Your
Mischief
Surpassed mine
Made me crazy
So hard and sublime
Do you think I am slow?
Made me angry, made me pout
When you whipped your big mischief out
Too bad you are my younger cousin
I cannot replace you by the dozen
You...

Free verse is natural to me.
She calls to my soul. She gives me strength.
Rhymes prance forth in my brain sometimes.
Structured poems give me experience, 
stretch me, mold me, educate me.

Free verse ostentatiously demands her own...

brushed
soft hair
Rapunzel’s
untangled mess
sunlight flickering
her heart beating
as prince climbs
up her
nest

snips
her braids
cast down eyes
unattached love
they gleefully slide
he grabs her hand
they bury
cuts

witch
returns
to empty
tower, she’s ill
hurls herself toward earth
she soars on scales
flickering
loathsome 
flames

dark
smoky
plumes of hate
follow princess
fairytale sunrise
fool closes eyes
Aurora

All right, no more Abecedarian again!
Buzz off,
Cut me some slack,
Dogging me,
Entrapping me with a 
Form of poetry I am not
Good at,
Hamilton!
I entreat you
Jot down some other forms that won’t
Knock me off my rocker, like
Lyric, Limerick...

Now
I dream
Aimlessly
Always searching
Looking, seeking yet
Never finding
My lost love
Gone long
Ago
Eyes
So deep
So tranquil
Soft and gentle
Yet full of such mirth
And happiness
Joy was found
In her
Eyes
Black
Silken
Flowing hair
Framing a face
Delicate and bright
Those dark tresses
Caressing
Skin so
White
Blood
Red lips
Ruby bright
How I long for
Her passionate...

Sing, Birds Sing

Sun
Smiling
Gleefully
Blushes blue dawn
While robin's musing
Pink-dogwood dreams
Rejoicing
Blooming
Spring

Where
Playful
Cardinal
Hops, hops, and sits
Then curves a sharp spin
Flying up high
Savoring
Freedom
Flight

Lone
Sparrow
Sitting on
Red maple tree
Whistles and dances
Reveling in
Lilacs and
Lilies
White

Sing
Birds sing
Exalting
Season's beauty
Warbling, frolicking
Serenading
Cheerfully
Sing birds
Sing

Sing
Of joy
Of prairies
Of giggling streams
Of butterflies, bees
Flowering trees
Sing...

BEFORE ANOTHER PHASE OPENS

Writing the past deeds of my life
That will deny me of my future.
I need just to work and strife,
To paint my future smooth like a furniture.
With my soul clouded by darkness,

Thanking God, His most graciousness, I am all healed.
Totally at peace, my grateful body now feels.
Crushed knee, thigh broken in two pieces.
I howled uncontrollably,with no ceases.
Trauma center,six hour surgery.
Hospital, heaven on earth! 
Food for royalty.
Kindness...
