Zolar the Inet God
(after Edgar Allan Poe's "The Angel of the Odd")
It was a tidy day and I sat, replete, under vellux blankets.
Sadly, my tea was weak, the bottle of cinnamon whiskey
tantalizingly low, and my feet swelling above...

My Divinity
My Divinity
My violet pastel pencil
came to a rest
after sketching the
outline of the natural pond
fringed with bamboo, palms,
and exotic tropical foliage
reflected
in the mirrored waters.
Standing before
the easel I couldn't
get my eyes off
the arched...

Logical me
Well, I find that kind of funny
Because how could you see me
If anything, as

The letter I penned with the ink
Of my heart
When meek, Timid me tried unsuccessfully to
Admit...

Unwritten Letters
Dear self,
The words that I have to say are not the nicest ones. I fear what my uncapped talent
might pour out. I only write truth and nothing else. So when my brother...

Our dad drives with the recliner down like a waterbed as uncapped bottles of water gushes down. My older sister putting on her third face now, none of it hides her stuck-out tongue at me....

Crooked Tooth Joy
Crooked Tooth Joy
When I was young and hadn't a care,
I once wished I had curly hair.
But now I see what would've been misery
for the valiant true who would've tried
but failed to love me.

My Dream Castle
When I am bored with this world
When nothing gives me any more joy
I become, once more, a little girl
And run, hiding to my abode, with my toy!
My pen, magical and whimsical
Sometimes getting even musical
Once it...

All Dreams Deferred
All Dreams Deferred
By Sy Roth
Bilious, they lay there in a somnolent heap
Dreams imprisoned.
Langston toed them, and lethargically they wiggled
But could not rise from the ashes of their sadness.
The dreams that once took residence
Wallow...

Mr Washington
Mr. Washington I want to know
what would you have to say?
as you gaze upon this land
if you were still alive today
what would be your thoughts
on a nation that lost its way
would you stand and fight?

Here There Be Tygers
Last night I glimpsed a pretty limerick crudely scrawled upon a tiled wall,
in the lavatory of my favorite bar.
It was very funny,
definitely dirty,
and classy in a back-alley sort of way.
Anyway,
I finished reading it and chuckled...

It's Monday Morning
It is Monday morning, time to unwind.
today I do laundry and I'm behind.
My son's pile is first and guess what I find:
Whiff of autumn wafts in the air

Happy Jack
I went to the page with a dry eye?
nary a whimper
certainly no sigh.
What was this odd mysterious state;
this slight chest tickle,
this bouncy gait?
Tigeer the Tiger would know, I’m sure;
what are these eye crinkles
this snorty-like snore?
And,...

I'M Always Ready
I'm always ready to write
because it's simply what I do
poetry comes out of me
like an uncapped bottled of glue
and I have an unlimited supply
like a forever metro card
it's all from the heart
and I'll...

Dark Lens
I cast my vision with a dark lens
uncapped and honed
and set upon
lovers I was seeing.
I held the tears in brimming ducts
restrained and damned,
by echelons
of almost equal being.

Black Lipstick Vapor
Black lipstick whispers are vapor
streams spoken gothic complexion
spiraling ether. Trails taper
erratic, split imperfection;
ripples on French Riviera.
Descriptions of love disappear
as streaks of winter mascara
outlined bold against helpless fear
plastered in snow. Vague shadows trace
