Dispense sing with fidelity blithely agog
just me and mine dark shadow 
slinking along outer limits of

There is a world of difference
between schism and jism,
but they both end up the same.

Horn Combined Not Maligned Haiku

Cat is not a pain
Over house has a free rein
Which is domain.

Between is schism;
Nationalist populism;
Read in catechism.

I cannot remember
A damn thing that I did
What took me over

And to add to this schism
I was fighting alcoholism
A Demon that...

"The Strict Machine"




Take a note 
pick up your sharpened quill
tap dance your screen
your mind like 
a Magpie's beak 
a Silent Epiphany
One, 
Two and
Three
a Silent Jackhammer 
pneumatic drill 
Blackbirds fly off the page
they're swooping for the...

In the twilight of thoughts, where shadows whisper the secrets of ideologies,
I stand, a prism refracting the multitude of hues of the "isms,"
Each beam a story of belief, a spectrum of convictions.
Socialism, communism, fascism, despotism—
Colors...

Sat still like stone statues – petrified.
A sick game of musical chairs
Sat waiting for the muted music to play again.
Saplings uprooted early; replanted in rows
seated in toxic soil – a stunted growth.
