Joseph Robinette Biden Junior

The last prescient perspicacious politician, 
who presided at the White House
ran out of office despite victorious landslide win
most Democrats gave their signed, 
sealed, and delivered grudging approval, 
but could not stem the...

A living hellish nightmare...

only just began early today 
November 6th, 2024,
when my eyes frightfully espied
glaring headlines bespoke horror
conjured, portended and yielded
worse fate than being gratefully dead
after the polls tallied up the votes
beaming none other than...

An old man long in years, in threadbare coat, with grizzled hair, and eyes aged and heavy.
Stood with withered hands once strong and true, which clung to an old cap.

For years he had tilled the...

Ten years ago, there was a cock
Who lived up to his name.
For though he left us all well-fed,
He left the yard in shame.

Replaced was he by one who was
A very silly goose.
That goose got cooked;...

The landscape is stunning. 
It has a beauty that hits you, 
A sharp, slicing beauty, 
Ringing like a sword slid from it's sheath. 
Beauty that only its beholder can feel, 
A sting like a knife...

A gift to our country from France, she 
stands majestically in New York Harbor, 
an icon of freedom and this country.

I once was a SEAL, an operator
I filled my country’s foes with cool dread,
Send countless terrorists screaming to hell
Where no virgins awaited the dead.
I met my own end many years later,
And a strange one it...

Chicken bones on the porcelain plate
One diner stared back with a grieving heart
Silent but earnest, the industry decried 
This repetitive chorus of abandoned missions
And the bones cried out for revision

Beliefs, rituals myths... are like organs of religions,
To god and goddesses, in respect, we fear like pigeons; 
Apollo, Artemis, Athena, and Ares... of Greece,
Presided over by Zeus and Hera, did fear increase...!

The election date was settled,
There were only two contenders -
An Angel named Forthright
And the God Who now presided;
But the polls predicted Forthright's right-wing swing!

Angel Forthright deemed God useless,
Said He'd lied and cheated -
Drowned millions in...

Mythical Thinking

In the beginning there had been the word…
She had spoken wisely and made believe
had been a poet all her life creating fiction
scripted parables about a primordial bang

Now she encountered writer’s silent block
yet pondered about...

No romance today.


The cemetery was deserted,
at the far edge of the tiny village,
shrouded in a fine sultry fog.
Large black trees threw darkened shadows
over the deserted gruesome sepulchers.

Few cared to visit, few cared to tend the...

God created the heavens and Earth,
Presided at a child’s birth,
Made man from a pile of clay,
Welcomes saints to glory everyday.

Put the stars and Moon in place for...

Shadows darken the way

Hecate, a guide, has presided over my dreams.

dark visions of forests and spirits were seen
incessant drums beat into his heart
