Cosmic Jewels
If Keats could have seen through Hubble’s eyes
when the sonnet ‘Bright Star’ he wrote,
meaning its telescope-imaged skies
with those stellar tableaux afloat,

would he have noted ‘aloft it hung’ 
 ‘steadfast’ all night in ‘splendor lone’,
that poet...

So many important things to say.

Our boys are fighting, we want them back.

They were wary of Indian customs and things they didn’t know-
Suspect of the Indians having powers from the devil, and more,
The belief of witches inside their own colonies did...

The Pelican

The longest beak
The  largest mouth

Poem From a Weary Heart
Decisions good, decisions bad
Either way it's happy or sad
Losing a job, or losing a friend
It's hidden but stays until the end.

Life's challenges are not really fair
Leaving our hearts in pieces, our minds in the air
Many...

There once was a robin who flew
somewhat strangely down my chimney flue.
When I asked if she missed

Unhappy with how much I weigh,

Brahms and Liszt
Happy.  Genial.  Merry.  Jolly
Blottoed, blasted, etched and blitzed
Mellow, foggy, hazy, squiffy
Tipsy.  Tiddly.  Brahms and Liszt

Dazed, zombied, tanked-up, trollied
Ganted, gubbed, guttered
Bladdered, blathered, leathered, plastered, 
Sozzled, sloshed, scuttered

Hammered, battered, caned, mangled
Spannered, mullered....

Harvest
Death is unavoidable,
We all know it’s coming.
But...it still hurts when you know,
One you love isn’t coming back.

The harvest always comes,
And whisks away those it chooses.
Without mercy it kills,
And crimson blood covers the ground.

But did it...

Empty Chairs - Oklahoma City Bombing
A deluded and deranged miscreant.
Rode in a rented Ryder truck,
Sadistically opposed to his government,
He delivered a two-ton bomb.

After parking the fateful vehicle,
With time fleeting and fuses lit,
He fled to his car,
Parked, not far away.

Hearing the...
