The Warsaw Uprising
What is freedom?
The brief period of anarchy between the last tyranny and the next?

What if our masters lengthen our leashes?
Only to tighten their hold...

My smile's only temporary, but so is this life sentence I've...

The Mighty Longhorn Chair
Clayton King was a cattle baron
With ranges like far flowin’ seas,
And thousands of Texas longhorns
Roilin’ around like swarms of bees.
He built a huge cedar ranch house
With everything he needed there,
And oversaw his vast empire
Right from...

Come to Wyoming fer the thrill,
We had twenty dollars twixt us,
But knew we’d climb the highest hill.
Then Ben got suckered in card games
And I spent the rest on bar...

”He is a Poet”, It was said of him.
And so they sought in proof a poem, made alone for them.
A tome for all the ages, every eye, and every ear.

Early Things
When I was born I forgot the plasma cradle,
forgot the in-keepers daughter
who had suckled lips with pints of brewed chyme,
forgot the liquid yoke of the now unknown.
When I was born
the light was in other people’s...

The Stranger
He rode in from Texas, calmly chewing a piece of straw.
Folks rumored him a Ranger, some sorta man of Law.
An expressionless face, eyes close 'n stern.
Long barreled pistol, well kept 'n tied down firm.

Should read my poems and discover design;
You immediately will know they are mine;
Cut corners and curbs;
Only used few verbs;
Not only that they are always mighty fine.
Limericks which I wrote can never be...

Conquering the Crab Legged Crone
One legged evil brownie with a lopsided top hat
Was tired of crab legged crone thinking she was all that
Her feather and sword gave her instant jurisdiction
Her thought her followers fell under some addiction.
Her flag-waving ways...

Down! Down!
the deer stampeded down our cross street

his new antlers high and mighty
so beautiful in the dusk
fast primal beautiful color
we all happened to be on the front lawn
and oh the...

Texas Lullaby
Night air grew warm and stiflin’
And the lightnin’ flashed the sky—
As night herders sang those notes
Of the “Texas Lullaby.”
The notes came low and trembled—
Wailers did not yell or shoot—
Their voices rose on high now
To quiet...

Death Lives For Death
He stands there, alone. Alone, looking out. Looking out across the vast empty lands.
Lands now cold, dark, and void of life. Life that had once stampeded through the continents.
Continents that now...

Why do you try to confine me?
When clearly there is too much debris
In your life that leaves no accommodation for me

As a warrior princess
Consistently confronting your...

Still Trying To Rock

On the bill was the "Backstreet Gramps"
Tickets selling for ten bucks a pop

The Sinking Ship
Thus, came to an end,
both the depth of my breath,
and our happy sail,
on the waves of the pacific.
The iceberg pierced the giant,
sucked us,
of our joy and dreams,
families deserted and orphans born.
To those chilling waves,
we froze,

Angelic Syzygy
The dark intestine of the sea
Swallowed a colony of moonlit bats,
God laughed and threw a new
Canopic jar of graceful waves
For Set and Horus to quarrel over;
God smiled again and the darkness
Stampeded over distant green hills,

At First Glance
Contented! My life was perfectly fine.
Unaware - I did not know I needed
anyone till my eyes met yours, divine;
my unsuspecting heart torn, stampeded,
beset by tantalizing emotion.
The room - you on one side, me the other...
