ignorant feeding frenzies swallow whole lost families 
swept...

The burial ground,  groomed to greet
the gatherers of their love apocalypse

to fish.
We start each day with gratitude

Just walk up to her!
Just move on leg in front of the other and move your lips up and down for speech!

As the people, sadly, walk through the gates,
they firstly bow before Turvehr, their honour dictates,

As Cole rode across the Dakota prairie,
sweating a bit under the suns harsh bite,
he saw ahead of him a slight woman’s form,

Friday Night Check-ins


The days have been calm and collected.
The guests have been happy, content.
The weekday staff scurry out from the hotel
To avoid the upcoming event.

Weekend receptionists tremble
As the Friday night check-ins approach,
Fearing the tsunami of...

Dear commissar 
My poetry is filled with agitation and grievances.
To have stood amid, betwixt disillusionment and
Displeasure before. This plea seek not immunity 
Nor to pile vanity vines rather seeks progression.

Dear commissar

To see that which gave us life

Size Matters
By Jan Beaumont ©

Don’t point your finger at the thief
For losing sovereignty

The start of every day.

Then babies...
