In Soup Creek saloon behind Jenna’s bar
Milt’s holsters and belt and a posthumous star
Are fixed to a plaque to remember him best
There’s a custom made bracket where Milton’s guns rest

The gun barrels cross over Milt’s...

Old Zack Adams sits a slouch’n so sloppy drunk on a bar-room stool,
Wear’n his cheap-threaded cowboy suit and a stained satin shirt.

one fine sunny morning dazzling golden sunrise 
dancing with rays of magical sunshine 
dewdrops on silver webs glistening drops
he began whistling and dancing

Agony, grief and particularly anger

life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
exempts those graced with darker skin tones.

I craft emotions courtesy poetry

I stood upon a rocky shoal, regret lingering across my mind
Its fingers traced the blood-filled lines along my bare arm
as if they were the brittle veins of leaves fallen from a tree
I was...

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 4

Innocence, zest, curiosity 
remain intact protected   
crimson hymns I earned
when Divinity composed 
a skin of cheetah brown 
amused at a white chin

Back-breaking work
Sweat in my eyes
Drop the hoe
Look at the castle
It's mighty towers
With magnificent flags
Fluttering in the slight breeze
The millionth time
I wonder what it's like
Being a princess
No work
Everything at your fingertips
Elegant balls
Stunning gowns
A handsome prince
Heaps of...

Night has cast her darkened net
 over the sphere of the bold,
 gently laying out the black
 starred with orbs foretold

Sheets of mist bedaub the earth
 glistening strands of green,
 second shades stain the trees

Death’s undisturbed progress.
And a doted-upon songstress:
In the musical battle field, Matchless Tigress,
Now being  taught unforgettable lessons by Skin Cancer,
Her concerned doctors all robbed of an answer;
Likely now to linger only for a few days

upon the gray of maple have plumped

the Red Queen laughs raucously
dangling me at the end of a Scepter

The Match-Stick
The patent potential of a match-stick
I saw seething ravagely through the farmland
Crawling conflagration all alike
Beholding the hapless and helpless mind

The power of a match-stick
I knew well when in dire need
Picking up the match-box in...

PETS

I am upset:
When I asked Dad for a pet
He raucously laughed,
Told me I was daft,
And repeated my request
To every guest -
Who was thoroughly amused
Making me embarrassed and confused!

If it's not absurd
to want a bird,
Nor funny...

I like to dance
To writhe and wriggle
On ceaseless crests
Beneath my bottom

I like to swing
From side to side
Sublime swells
Anchoring angst

I like to gyrate
Between boulders
Of liquid laughs
Caressing chuckles

I like to undulate
Along my abdomen
Rippling raucously
Joking jollily

I like to...
