Marooned On An Island of Nihilism
After a lifetime
(pronounced like millennium),
where tenacity futilely braced
psyche deeply purpled,
hellishly, and lethally
traced resulting scars -
jackknifed, emasculated
cruelly chaste
sexuality expired, lapsed,
and petered out testosterone
begone to waste,
and how this abased
bereft of eroded optimism,
nee faith no more - erased,

Abstract
A fresh beginning,
Like a new breath of air,
In Nature's nostalgic atmosphere!
New birth.
New beginnings.
New thoughts and ideas.
New dreams.
No matter how thinly stretched and petered out,
Or how old things made you become
Unfounded by the dumbfounded,
Begin...

For years he'd roamed the Rockies, finally finding his El Dorado!

Brainwashing a Greenhorn In My College Den

Upon arrival into our teacher training college
To baptize him. His pride in quick order I did decimate
Taking him at high celerity on a binge
Initiating him into traditional beer

Tired
I’m a man whose tired and worn
Empty and dead on my feet,
Petered out, played out, pooped and torn
Burn out, broke down and beat.
Drowsy, droopy, drooping drained
Dog tired, done in, done for,
Exasperated, enervated empty faint
Overtaxed, overworked...

Scavenger Life
Scarves of the scavenger kids,
Were drawn tighter,
As their tattered clothes,
Were vented to let cold in,
It was growing colder with each passing day,
And the day's heat of collecting rags,
Petered fast enough with onset of evening,
By the...

The Girl On the Shore
the girl on the shore.
my father, he died today
wordless, tearless grief
for the petered life
tendrils of sorrow that curls around your heart, most inconveniently
and the lingering dusting of sadness

what is the worth

Summer's End
Breaking the silence at Summer's end;
the crackling crunch of leaves can be heard.
And the wind wails at trees that won't bend;
proclaiming such resistance absurd.
Songbird chicks have fledged and spread their wings;
their sweet songs have all...

There once was a traditionalist,
Who in his ignorance had missed
The beauty of youth,
The ever-changing truth!
He's a typical fundamentalist!

They are just looking for a bang!
