Long Twenty sixth Poems

Bane of dyschezia

Constipation spoilt rare visit
with eldest daughter
(yesterday - November twenty sixth
two thousand twenty two)
currently housed near
Rittenhouse Square, Pennsylvania.

Less than twelve hours
after a cocktail comprising
handful of prunes,
four psyllium husk capsules,
plus three dulcolax.

Myself and missis

It was the fall of fifty-four
and “cool” was the in thing.
I was a senior in high school
and had just moved

By this bend
Old antique shoppe;
Sanguine ancient owner

~~~~~~~~~


Lots of what-nots
Odds and ends mix;
Awaiting departure

~~~~~~~~~


Old motifs unearthed
August edging fast;
Hermit stories

~~~~~~~~~


So much to see
Bright blossoms here;
Salute the day!

Sit here and wait
Sunset streaks now dim;
Light sleeps in the dark

It was...

And proudly do I stand.
The freedom here...

N-o peace dwells in the heart, 
T-here is no love anymore.
