I have seen many writers of late, (who struggle
To be taken seriously), interject "big" or unusual
Or fancy words into their prose in an effort to be

For you confuse the Body of Christ, my Body into hating itself, reified and 
fractured into tormented factions on my cross,
For you confuse my Children into doubting...

Jequetha’s Storm


Early one morning, Jequetha, sat listening to naughty by nature lyrics.

The time had come, we were agreed
To discontinue paying rents.

Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated

intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum

orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs

"PRESIDENT" & "LEADERS" 

Full grown men,

Lacking in wisdom,

unwilling to train Younger Leaders.
Untrained themselves in morals & reputation,
Liars,  
Tired &...

Again these men comes to mind,
Paid to say yes and nay,
Lame duck,

Canker, queer rapscallion minds
Incorrigible,
Political impostors detached from the humdrum of street cries
Maggots in honor
Damp squib temples of legislators
Dishonorable honorable,
Rotund circles of rascals
Fellows fit for...

For what manner of beast,
sad creature,
mad monster,

not despite, but for humored respite, flirtatious flaws,
fallen fractured nature,...

Darling?

Yes dear.

Have you ever had an unpublished thought?

What does that mean?
Is this about my profligate tendencies?
Of course
You know perfectly well I've never been published.
