Long Sulked Poems

The knight of knights, Sir Lancelot,
From far away in Camelot,
Went by a way that he knew not
And thus, by chance, spied Astolat
With sunset's gleam upon her tow'rs:
T'was there he met the maid Elaine,
With hair as...

but to see Eagle Vision lying dead…
he felt a blind rage that left him seething.

“Who did this?”he asked, in a...

heard raves from the back, where his brother sulked.

The sheriff frowned....

I wake up to a deserted town
"Where are the people?"
I ask myself aloud.
"Gone." answers a voice.
But no one's here...
but me.

Broken glass litters the street, 
a Kristallnacht in the making.
Houses, half gone and half standing,
specked the...

Mamma, what a lovely angel you are
Before I came into this world you carried
Me for nine gruelling months,
Morning sickness and throw-ups
Is what I gave when you conceived me
And innumerable kicks from within
Unmindful of your pain
You...

Blackjack’s face held its dark glare,
he shook his head in disgust.
“We rode all this way, and your great ‘treasure’
is some moldy old paper and dust?”

He slowly moved his hand towards his gun,
but besides him a...

Jonah's Calling

A vision of Jonah I did not see,
Nor did I hear the Lord speak
(Who pitied the wicked city of Nineveh)
When He said to His servant, Jonah,
“Arise and go to Nineveh for me.”
“Set me free!”...

"A child, more than all other gifts
That earth can offer to declining man,
Brings hope with it, and forward-looking thoughts."

Her eyes were not of only one hue:
Green, with little flecks of gold imbued,
All edged with halos of brightest blue

Her smile revealed warmth, humor, and grace;
Hers was the beauty for which he craved;
This he knew,...

I remember it was during winter
When your heart sulked and withered
I came by in the night with my flicker
I sang to you with glitter
It was in winter that you made me sigh

Waking up in the...

I strolled into Hell like a VIP/
Satan said, "what's this nonsense I see"/
"Bro, I out evil you", I smirked with glee/
Then he rage-quit chess, forfeiting to me/

God gasped, his jaw hit the floor/
"I designed Satan,...

She smoked

She smoked, 
my mother did, a LOT!
I never liked it.
To me she looked like
of those “molls” in 
detective magazines,
later on television, 
cigarette dangling 
from the corner 
of her mouth
acrid smoke
curling up (she didn’t inhale)
choking...

Let me say....

I don't know you, let me say
This heart fell for you, let me say
How long, how far and why?...
This love sprouted for you, let me say

I don't speak, but let me say
This word...

I will always bring water to your lips
And the let the little fawn over your bramble skips
For memory cannot close its doors
On the lanterned woman laddling from your shores
Welcome for: the tired, the paltry poor,
Blown...

internal organs all of those biological systems,

about what went where.

Old Rudolph was lazy this year.
Did not want to pull, that was clear.
He sulked in his stall
and started to bawl.
St. Nick had a problem, I fear.

Mrs. C. announced, “I’ll fix that.
I’ll knit him a warm...

As a child in days gone by
Mother’s rod was swift  but sure
Many a weal as time went by
Scarred my skin an ugly blue.

I've been writing countless poems all my life 
With tears as my medium, unpigmented ink
While sulked in the chair where you used to sit on
Words became traces of what was once an unbreakable link.

Done! But...

Today I sat down with my palms on my chin

Their smiles beamed, for they dreamed together,
sharing Barbies, goodies, and even hands.
Aware of my aloneness, it seemed I wasn't there; 
even Brown Bear didn't understand.

Staring into a disquieted mind, I sulked my secluded self.


Translucent tears...
