The Barghest's Monody

Therewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.

A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
 will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado

Hither now come, anon...

We'Re Just Brown

Grandma’s brown knuckles crinkled 
As she gently peeled the heirloom 
Potatoes, discarding the brown-
Skinned strips into the garbage
Bin. She was at home here, alive 
And aloud, tastes and scents mingling 

In the air like wispy...

Those Who Hurl Stones-Not For Contest

This poem was entered in Julia Ward's contest but I've decided not to write for her.

at naysayers who never gave me a chance.

River rushes in a roar,...

I Sudder For the Week

Flow; the rankling of souls in the current schemes
Unfold; a swift retribution of all that falls
In timing, in days united by one moment, one
Succinct cause;...

Sonnet 4

The night that breeds dark clouds of rankling dolour
Within azure sky of my mind’s great earth,
Delusive affection of thine enlivened fervour,
Of joy of life and lustre triggers dearth.

Thou rememb’rest those fragrant ways trodden,
Back i’th’ longest...

outside it’s sweet
inside – bitter.
