When does ambiguously free verse
also become emphatically political verbing verse?

I was emphatically reading pieces
ambiguously written 
about my sons,
to my oldest son's girlfriend.

The longer I read
the more she cried.

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become...

Writers! Writers!  Write what you know.
That's what they say, all the pro's.
Phooey on that gobbledygook.

Hawkeye pride burns bright in Iowa City,
the place where Tennessee Williams learned to curse.

The appearance of gentleness
shows many gracious ways
and this image of godly meekness
is being totally true to oneself;
it can't be stirred by rage,
or even irrational revenge:
indignation is an unthinkable bluff!

Do nobles often embrace folly?
Be it envy,...

By the end of August or early September,
I'll be handed a pink slip, to keep my sanity:
I must be a quick thinker to help me see clearer;

Kafka wrote stories at night after working as an insurance adjuster,

You must create, it's not for another, 
your specious needs to delineate.
After decades, I, walking life's treacherous 
highway with no God,
Thinking I was sufficient unto myself and 
needed no spiritual prod!

My life had an empty,...

Spring comes
Quietly--
Not with the bleating of lambs or
The tweeting of birds or the
Beating of butterfly wings

Spring comes
Silently--
Celtic through the Neolithic stones,
Unheralded by peering shadow-seekers
Rummaging around on the Second of
February, and unannounced by a
Banner on the...

WOMEN CAN’T BE COMPASSIONATE

Women can’t be compassionate, or their reputation’s dead
Can’t comfort the lost tourist, he’s the surrogate lover
As he sits on the theatre steps,  wearing loud red
Checks and braces, bewildered  when the...

The daylight appears, bright and beautiful,
Night, dark with a glimmer of twilight in the distance.

Characters of divine nature,
Novelists of intrigue.

The day continues enamored by a neighbor of excellence,
Now and then blessing the day with friendship.

At this moment in time
There are moms giving birth,
While gravediggers shovel
A plot in the earth.

At this moment a plane
Is preparing to soar,
While a soldier’s blown up
In a far-away war.

At this moment some people
Confess all their...

They are raging with excitement; one is twerking. I ignore it.
Their voices are increasing in volume now, it is the weekend.
Enthusiasm keeps their spirits high; they are thrilled it is Friday.
Higher and higher their voices...

Even a mention of his name is inspiring
The father of the theory of psychoanalysis
And the inventor 
of id-ego-superego hypothesis
His profound thinking was instrumental
In shaping movements in art & literature,
Surrealism is solely based on Freudian 
concept

Novelists and Nobodies

Ah, now this my domain, the library
Where cultures collide.

Men of leisure reeking from their latest dumpster dive
mingling with men in leisure suits studiously swimming in their work.

And me, in my disguise?
I'm hidden between...
