Today August 29th 2021 Sluggishness Dogs Yours Truly

Today August 29th, 2021 sluggishness dogs yours truly

Forecasting to thunderous applause
fast as greased lightning draws
upon futuristic atmospheric gewgaws
hot air emanates out these slackened jaws
spluttering courtesy indentured maws
armed with four footed tall paws
gesticulations resembling horizontal seesaws....

The Way Home - 1st Part

When we think of traveling we most often think of going from one location to another. That’s good but I sometimes like to return in reverie to times in my past. Places where I spent...

The Playground Bench

Little Lilly wanted to go, to the playground, to have some fun the other day.
And all the other Trolls wanted to tag along, for it looked like fun, they said.
So we went at dusk, for...

We Will Tell Each Other Everything

We will not keep anything from each other
We will not have secrets
We will not lie to each other
We want our friendship to take flight
and soar like an Eagle

Hey girl
What boy

The Last Organ Grinder

Between paper-soft 
worlds of fragile 
imaginations, 
I float upon those
gossamer tulips 
that split every 
second of saccharine 
musings and 
eclipsed confessions, 
distinguishing all
photoelectric synonyms
of lachrymose 
stimuli towards 
glassy manipulations
of blood-fragranced sun. 

Everything that is 
sown...

Seesaw Through the Wall

SEE SAW THROUGH THE WALL

He understands they’re innocent children…they learn only what we teach them
and when separated by a wall of hate…he wondered how to reach them. 

He knows they know nothing of hatred…of intolerance...

Kelso At Anchor

Kelso has a boat
smeared to the gunnels,
with cawk and greasy weeds.
Kelso is old enough
to be free of care,

his dog don't care neither.

At the prow of dawn
he hauls dripping lobsters
in their pots
up the scummy steps
of the...

Walking...

I went for a walk...
took a moment,
saw the neighbors' grass -
not a dandalion to be found,
bushes clipped just "so",
trees bordered with wood chips,
flower beds,
sidewalks edged,
but no ones ever home...

Saw some birds -
the endless hunting
for scraps
pecking...

Church Picnics

Summertime memories of better days
Playing outside way past dark
Bungalo was the community pool
Church picnics at Dutch Hill Park

Sliding boards and old metal swings
A box for the little ones filled with sand
There were monkey bars and...

The Humble Cathedral

THE HUMBLE CATHEDRAL

In the glaring eyes of the sun
dressed thin in lush green moss,
my shady sky-high trunk compeer
dark brown wrinkled arms spreading free
my slender fingers of verdant hue.

They swing, swing in quiet seesaws 
attune to...

What Happened

Someone could've been your best friend

Futility In Grapes of Wrath

Grapes of wrath despite the fire
In your bosom they burn
Can’t coalesce or coerce pressing problems to retire
Alongside frustrations and disappointments in the urn

That your world turns upside down
In lean times
That your pillow eiderdown
Limes in slimes

Raining...

Ins and outs, roundabout twirls

Breath in, breath out
the tide ebbs in, and surges out, 
flows and pauses.
Swings and seesaws rock, bounce and rebound,
up and down, in tick-tock metronome time.
Memories tug, get hugged,  
then unclasp, withdraw and let go...

My Meteor

My, my, my meteor 
Rocks me to my core

She stains the sky
With shooting star fire
Beside the Milky Way
Only far, far brighter.
She rides rainbows
Seesaws on sky scales
Sits and smells grass grow
Sees the songs of whales.

My meteor’s...

The Sounds of Childhood

The Sounds of Childhood

Remember the sounds:
Children on playgrounds,
Seesaws squeaking, squeals,
And roller-skate wheels.

The jukebox blaring,
Old tunes.  Girls dancing.  
Romantic love songs –
Young girls swoon along.

Mancala marbles. 
Clinks in wooden cups,
Loud laughs while playing,
Three cheers...

Your Face Is Like a Playground

Your face is like a playground
with curved edges inviting
energetic laughter all around,
nostalgically exciting.

Your eyes are like a swing set,
lashes flapping with each blink.
Sometimes puddles below stay wet,
but your tears I'd love to drink.

Your brows, like...

Good Things

Full moons, falling stars
Milky way, candy bars
Chicken soup, ham on rye
A BLT or key lime pie
The good things that life can bring
Can be embedded in anything

Sunny days, day it rains
Banana splits and candy canes
Hummingbirds, a...

Public Clocks

At first his anger was hotter than July
Or, rather, he was plundered by the weight of
Sorrow —heavier than the ice of January;
The kind of stolid ice that thickened Niagara Falls
Like frozen soup.
He was tall and...

I Remember

Mother raised so much of what we ate each and every day.
She also made the best of blackberry pies from berries we picked.

A dining table took up most of the kitchen for our multitude.

Smiles and Slides

Smiles bloom like flowers in the sun, 
As children race, their laughter runs. 
Eyes sparkle bright with pure delight, 
In this magical playground site.

Little hands reach for the sky, 
On swings that make them feel...
