Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 11

I was lifted into the air by the hard wings of the Devil
His putrid stench waking me from what seemed all dream
And upon a balcony of singed vine and blackened soot,
He...

Y2k Is Coming

Oh, For The Simpler Times
Y2K is coming
Written: by  Tom Wright
2000 

I eagerly watch,
as darkness gives way to dawn;
as preening birds
begin to stir.
I sip hot coffee, 
stretch and yawn,
and lament that things
aren't as they were.

The...

Absence of Your Presence In My Life Woke Sadness

December 28th, 2019,
which unwittingly, magically, accidentally...
resurfaced while scrolling
thru outdated emails 
and OpenOffice documents of mine
thee evening of February 20th, 2022.

The remaining lines 
comprising reasonable poetic rhyme
sent to said offspring

Absence of Your Presence In My Life Woke Sadness

Papa unexpectedly overtaken with woe

head, shoulder, knees in to toe
quietly processing silent film status quo
shant upended jollity
between when a little girl no
matter mine nonconformist
mien unconditionally accepted,

ye dear daughter(s) don't know

America

America 
By: Tom Wright
1/28/99

America, so beautiful
what does she mean to me?
Foremost, I can worship God,
in a land where I'm free.

A land where opportunities,
exist within my reach.
I'm free to pick and choose at will,
holding office, or...

I prayed for you why quite a hopeless canto 
indeed the angels turned their backs sighing

clinging with desperation while the holy spirit
 
actually gloated above the bishops...

A Thought Ne'Er Thunk

One thundering Thursday, in a thicket of trees I had thought I had thunk a real thought.
I was thinking deeply, when alas, creepily, a thought appeared, jeering at the tip of my tongue.
It said “At...

One Stone

hard, cold ...

with weight to crush
impervious to all, save the elemental
burdenous, and dense with unfeeling matter
oh, it shines in its own way

it is indeed a rare gem
fit for only the most hospitable of environments
and it...

When once a hand reached out
When once a hand was taken

Frenzical Fingers

Jealousy

Jealousy.
Oh sweet Jealousy!
I feel thy bitter sting.
Take seat in my heart
And in my mind,
Take flight on injured wing.
Tis the moment
To endure?
To take one’s heart,
Once loved,
Once clean and pure?
I shant be pressured.
Gain is hopeless.
Thy tree is...

Three

”...things come in three…”
before I look to TV
my stomach sinks
at the idea already
perhaps more news
to darken my day
watch the tide grow
in stains of decay
another horizon
as Atlantis rising
can it be?
”...don’t scare us…”
why, so we can care.less?

"cowpoke Queens"

Her spurs are smaller,
An' so are her jeans.
Her attitudes are taller,
These Cowpoke Queens.

In a Cowboy's world,
She has learned to cope.
Whether gowned an' pearled,
Or a lip full of cope.

She will administer a shot,
Re-bed a stall.
For respect...
