Long Redoubtable Poems

I shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign 
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian

This terror and threat to poetic clarity,
Becomes a pet rock for some poets.

Words do count for sure, but so does
Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

Encryption can be used to mask...

Dear Friend

It is always hard, knowing where or how to begin
you are so far away
and words cannot replace your faces
I miss you with these words
they do not replace your talk back
those expression you make when...

A Sensitive Man

He was the sensitive, hushed type
whose character was often folded  
inside his pocket, rather than on display.
He always felt different but adhered to the rules:
school, college and now work.
Politeness followed him courteously...

King Vlad is anything but Democracy’s man of the hour.
Rather, à coup sûr, he’s really Stalin’s nasty little boy
who ironically parades "svoboda" and "glasnost" like 
he really means them—actually he means them not.

King Vlad’s political...

Leave free agents alone
Bully
For they’ve got no time to be the clone
You hurt truly and deeply

In games without aim
Where you torture and suture at will
Treating victims the same

To boost your roost
Bereft of...

George Towne, now there was a man;
Handsome as the devil; 
Strong as a bougainvillea vine.
And married to the redoubtable Fannie Towne,
Town shill, and occasional teetotaler of the dry brew!
Ol’ Fannie was oblivious to the...

Broken people fill the in-between spaces:
Empty eyes, heavy treads, sorrow-filled faces.

and Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
And after having them both,
I can readily attest.

My two worst crises,

a redoubtable adversary.
Leaving...

dawn

on go those chosen 
to sing beyond the 
	redoubtable vail 

hurricanes await just 
	beyond todays horizon

Where were you
when I was down
And needed you 
to lend me a hand?
Where were you
when I was weak
And needed to 
lean onto you?
Where were you
when I was lonely
And needed you
to be by my side?
Where were...
