Long Self confident Poems

TIME WILL TELL

A modest planet and quietly progressing
Troubling no other and fealty confessing
 Surviving well enough and paying its dues;
 Quiet corner of the galaxy. No foreseen surprise to bemuse

The ruling committee were in contented...

Anytime today you may begin

To ensure a greater success

SLAVERY AND REPARATIONS
I am a descendant of slaves - from India!
Anyone who demands REPARATIONS shake & quake at my words

The Jewish people's perhaps the longest & cruelest,
With smaller...

I remember my father’s hands as a plumber’s hands—fiercely strong, calloused, rough, knuckle-battered, and dirty after a long-day’s work. Those hands shoveled; unclogged drains and toilets; repaired leaks; and installed pipes, commodes, and bathtubs. Those...

Lotion smelling all good
Because it’s seaweed extract
Looking good

Cinderella Memories

Young, self-confident, the debutante
stood!
At the top of the golden railed staircase.
And, oh my, in a Cinderella mood!
The white full length strapless gown,
Satin buttoned gloves to her elbow,
And her partner, in tuxedo dressed,
Made her so...

His parents’ assignment of his gender left him cold
Inside he was Elan, not Elsa, but how dare he tell them?
Their approval meant everything; so he kept his secrets.
Making him icy, frosty, showing him a wind...

...SOUL TUNES...

Regret. It sounds like a drum roll...

Sweat prickling down my forehead,
Leaving the stage now a tempting idea,
There it is…Tuba? Sax? Trumpet!

Outshine? No, just survive is the new goal!

Twice it calls out. Run? Instead,
One arms...

Of my brandy and Crème soda

Early and on we shall
Through these days...

Alone in my office
after a full day of teaching
I sit
catching my breath
looking at the picture
next to the phone
a baby girl
poses for the camera
big grown eyes
chubby cheeks
impish grin
a discarded toy behind her
smiling for daddy
so full of...

The foggy snow hats the mount peaks,
The chilly wind frosts all snaky creeks.
The shelter covered by creamy layer;
Face of a pane of the wistful thinker.

The clear icicles cling from the gutter,
Like the tearing of a...

She opened her cantankerous mouth and out came the truth
There was nothing not honest about my clever Aunt Ruth
The whats-its and fruts-its were scared of her though.
Especially terrified that she was way off in the...

I am of art
I am an artist
Taking a stance in life
I sit and ponder in thoughts
Trees in cubanism surround me
Paths so pure of white
The aroma in my soul
Of air in wilderness

I am dressing as Elvira, the very sexy witch.
I will walk with her arrogant, self-confident twitch.
I will use a sultry voice, and leave admirers in my path.
I will take no prisoners, sashaying a widened swath.

Tiny frothy bubbles barely move on ocean’s morning blanket. 
I am standing at the edge, debating about putting my toes in.
There is a fresh, joyful feeling surrounding the beach today.
Perhaps it is because no one...
