THIN LINE BLUE 

Sworn to serve and to protect, the dedicated few,                   
We are the ones who...

All over pure and white, all over plain and bright,
we're inborn peace embracers, true tranquility tracers.
All the time abstaining from vileness, violence and violation,
we've lived our self-disciplined lives generation after generation. 

Sometimes nightmare befalls more...

I remember being a little remote control. My chassis 
was sound and I was beeping all the time. My handlers 
were amused to drive me around. I was happy to please them.
It made me feel...

DEAD END STREET --WHY do dead end roads Exist


"Are you my enemy, if you’re not my friend?
Alternative exit without exit should be posted dead end
When “Google” tells you turn right at the bend
Daylight night time...

There were warning signs proclaiming "DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD!"
But no one paid much attention to them as on they recklessly sped!
On that treacherous stretch was a bend known as "Dead Man's Curve,"
Where many souls began their...

A dry peninsula without internal flowing waters
anointed with the ointment of incredible prosperity
massaged by the fat hands of uncommon wealth
and covered by tight-fitting over-alls,
made out of an expanding economic might.

One of its regions has been...

Grave of silence,
Death on meter,
Consequence of disobedience remarks its keeper,
Smiles on our face,
Brute speeders ready aim!
Up above is a sky,what's up is a fame,
Benovelent subjects awhile,throwing crab speeches into ear,
Down from the hill,down on gear,
Through...

I watched this strange flick 
while I was a young chick
Involving space and futuristic beings
So many handsome men creating steam

Two men it seemed in love with she
This beauty with coils, eyes like the sea
I dreamt...

My friend has few friends except me.
I call her twice a week, because of this.
And she is always available.
Her phone line is open.

She stands in the street and yells at speeders.
I have asked her not...

Flashing Lights Behind

By Elton Camp

There is a certain sinking feeling
When with a cop you’ll be dealing
Since whether you are guilty or not
You are about to be put on the spot

What claim does he intend to...

A Town Too Small

By Elton Camp

Bugville’s city charter should be eliminated
Because it is far too small to be incorporated
The mayor is also the town’s garbage collector
Plus also serving as the local building inspector

City council meets...

A good view. The traffic and wind careen.
The highway overpass vibrates. Suicide starts
to sing, a wind-dervish rattling thin mantis limbs.

On the branches of peripheral nerves, small birds
stretch plasma necks, warble high
in the catbird seat of...

I write upon nature's birds, wild backyard songbirds. 
It is a pleasure to feed them year-round,
and seeing them at my feeders, 
their vibrant colors shine.
Cardinals, blue jays and hummingbirds steal the show,
entertaining with their sweet...

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING  
BUT YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN  
WE DON'T LIKE SPEEDERS 
FLYING THROUGH TOWN

OFFICER PETE

Alternating red and blue, police car siren blaring.
My heart is thumping wildly. I wave and blow him a kiss, 
But he doesn't notice. He is on the job, not caring.
And since I'm driving slowly, a...

I am sleeping on this ocean's bed
Contemplating Beauty
That surrounds my soaking head
The beach is a mile or so away
These eyes can still see the Children play
While I'm in Dream
Not to notice or care what it...
