Taxidermist
You a ferrous metal and I a magnet
Drawn to you by design,
Yet sin degrades all
With it’s terror and it’s squall.
On my worst days
When I listen to the liar
Saying “It’s okay its natural
Like breathing
Or seething.”
Desires denied
Sorrows...

The Fans view Bless you Jaddu

The Eagle Survives
In this tumultuous political climate
I find both parties irrelevant and obsolete
They do not speak to me or my families’ needs
Neither do they consider our suffering
Day after day immigrants look for respite from expulsion from...

Grandma
She measured only five foot tall,
With her stooped shoulders, even shorter.
Towered over by her strapping son,
My mother and each other daughter.
Grandma came from sturdy stock.
On her own strength, she relied
To raise her five young...

on an audacious journey
to see his old master
with a handful of blooms

Fallen Heroes
Fallen heroes
By Michelle Morris
02/10/2021
It's so sad, the fallen heroes;
Those we once looked up to, so high;
From pedestals, they topple down
To the hell created storms...
No use trying to justify
Political gains and greed...

Fragile Heart
That is not how one conducts herself,
silently boiling to himself muttering,
he watched her shameless display
to an audience of lecherous men.
Careless and licentious she was
to use her body quite that openly

Private Romeo
Romeo Jaxx had a friend for a fool
So he never thought "Baby's in love."
He fought for his rights
and he slept through your dreams
With his self-centred wolverine paralysed
Drove out of the camp on a bright...

Long Be His Journey To Death

as he dragged his feet into the rising dust hotter than sand;
only a defeated and tormented soul would have admitted
looking ahead," Much innocent blood I have...

Same Old Song An' Dance
there's a certain kind of rhythymic beat
that can thunder in one's ears
As sunlight slips so silky warm
through freshly opened leaves
It's tragical and magical
as it causes tapping feet
One wonders how on nature's...

Common Melody
Balcony moods
Morning offering;
Song of bird duo
By the yard edge
Bird frolic twitter;
A cheery quartet
Song fills dawn
Sunlight slants;
Window view sparkles
Last night's rain
Wet grounds betray;
Uneven footsteps traced
Joy after sorrow
Traces of old grief;
Ushered out abruptly
Old sepia memories
Silver nitrate etchings;
Old...

The Leaf
The frosty morn was sullen...
My breath lay frigid to the air.
I walked a darkened wintry trail
To enhance this stark affair.
I sat upon a wooded bench
To give aid to my relief...
Beneath a tree... in winter's grip
That...

Ode to Flowers
Praise to our God for such as one of these,
raised forth to give out beauty in the sun.
A throng of glories basking in the breeze,

So many times, we...

The Star
Risen from the blues of gloom,
The indicator of glorious boom.
Made of sterner stuff and
Seen only by eyes divined.
From the East appeared once,
All focus attracted of the wise ones.
The way rigorous and distant,
Unimaginable for weak stance.

Benghazigate
Twas Watergate which proved once more
The pen is mightier than the Sworn
With pomp and circumstance imbibed
The deed did not, they said, but lies
Though exile begs for sterner stuff
The cover-up proved quite enough
And with that vaunted...

Tear-Tainted Sail
In the beginning this boat was bare,
Greenest with infant's sinless stare;
Before soles more selfish than sane
Had trodden its dreary derelict main.
First to blacken its still-tiptop form
Were kith and kin as is...

If You Pull a Long Face

If you pull a long face
Just because you had a bad day
That’s alright you won’t lose face
Everyone’s beset some hapless day
If you pull a long face
Day by day come what...

Abandoned
The lush fishing village of Kaloo-Nong
Rich with folklore, dance, and song
Natives thrive in work and play
Through joy and sorrow, day by day
When young Tahina feels lost, tense, and blue
The villagers know just what to do

The World Is Thine
You there!! Be happy and smile
Over sorry days don’t whine

Keep the faith the world is thine
Tomorrow the sun you’ll outshine
Nothing deserves a Man’s cry

They cus and curse

The Father
I am rougher than she,
These arms from sterner stuff
Are hewn,
Yet hold you with firm tenderness
Embraced against the beating
Heart
Enshrined in bars of steel.
I am harder than she,
These eyes from coarser flint
Are formed,
Yet see you with a...

Cogs In the Wheel
You find in the slime of indecency
The rotted hollow of an empty skull -
A mindless mind allows redundancy
Repeated repetitions till it's full.
Cogs in a wheel turning round on a run,

The color violet

Wales To Me
Wales to me is the strangeness of mountains,
for where I live is as flat as flat.
Wales to me is the singing in unison -
those choirs... the conductor in the top hat.

BLANK PAGE.
Again I have to cross
A blank page for travel
A wide desert spread
Spaces to far away lands
Which seems even sterner
For the words to instruct
Vehicle of subtler thought
Movement for the select.
