The Journey
Once upon a weedy lawn
At Cedar Oaks Retirement Home
There sat my mother, weak and old
On an afghan knit to block the cold.
It was summer, but in mom's grey eyes
Was winter, when all around us dies.
I...

Travel Once Sliding Octet
Travel once on a haunted train,
a taste may make you lose your mind;
Railroad tracks leave the world behind
dismantled boxcars keep rolling;
Phantom mouths continue screaming,
they show you tickets that were signed;
Pure horror here is well...

My World On the Pyre Cold
There she was, silenced; in the hush of the night,
By nature's decree and the will of the almighty divine's right.
Upon the pyre, her form ablaze, a somber sight,
While I sought to console my sisters in...

Love Is Blind 2
(This a new Version created using many editing suggestions from Linda:)
I picked you up
like a “shiny” newly minted copper penny

Christowarner Dot Com
For diverse ranged interests, in prose and paint, speech annoted by body, frisbee
aflight or as busking bowl.
Writing poetry, sitting or standing, thought on title, concept craving to be told,
calligraphy ink to unlined leaf.

Harbor Sludge Queen
Out of the bowels of Harrisburg
Comes a new woman on the scene
She's head of environmental pollution
She's known as the Harbor Sludge Queen
She's in charge of polluting our county
And putting the environment in a rut
While her...

Dissociative Amnesia
I walk within a shadowed hall,
Where echoes fade before recall,
The walls are bare, the mirrors blind,
A labyrinth, a maze in my own mind.
Fragments are scattered like broken glass,
Like a thousand leaves beneath the sun,
I search...

Palpable Aversion
It’s pure as fresh snow
and as pale as a ghost.
It’s the shade on the light spectrum
that I loathe the most.
A beluga whale, the milky moon
and the aftermath of bleach
and all my body’s hidden places
just...

Just a Dream
ONCE IN A BLUE MOON'S VENTURE
I UNDERTOOK A JOURNEY TO SEEK THAT WHICH I TREASURE
THERE HE WAS AND I WOULDN'T LET MY HEART PONDER
FILLED WITH CRYSTALLINE DELIGHT, MY HEART STARTED TO FLATTER
HIS FACE RECTANGULAR YET...

A Sign the Size of a Jeep
For five days now, it has sat
Black and gray, reflecting heat
Actually, a very nice Jeep
With expired tags, rumpled bookbags
Yet nobody has moved it from my house
For five days now
As I surmise, with my poet's eyes

Inner Beauty
"I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you"....A Rambling Poet
The youthful beauty of an unlined face,
Unsullied by the use that lies ahead
Has still the freshness of an unturned page.

New Millenium Same Old Stuff
My revolutionary heart smiled at its private joke:
“The poor can’t eat the rich because they’d gag and they’d choke
On toxins like guilt, cynism and greed,
Prozac and Botox – not quite what the poor need.”
But, the...

911 Let No Man Take Us Under
Oh my brother I stand before you.
Don’t you forever forget the sounds.
The world will revel in the new.
As these two great towers came crashing down.
As brothers we will bands together.
We shall leave no stones unturned.
Never...

Another Time
It was in another time, another place
Back then he brought me red, red roses
Now my forever memory is of his face
Scent of that bouquet time will not erase
Now pressed between the pages of a book

Structured Settlements
Would you, with me, traverse an unlined field
deny the jagged edge of distant peak
stroll lazily amid protected calm
or listen as the ragged mountains speak.
For some find solace in the chasms depth
cling tightly to the icy...

Beauty
The youthful beauty of an unlined face
Unsullied by the use that lies ahead
Has still the freshness of an unturned page.
A book to show its worth must have been read.
True fairness shows when beauty dwells within.

On Our Beds
Where we sleep there might be quilts
Or comforters or spreads
Or blankets made in varied styles
To warm us in our beds.
Some might prefer a cashmere throw
Or one hand-knit in wool,
While others cozy up to down
And can’t...

Black and White In My Life
Piano keys –
waiting for my fingers,
they dream of a Bach fugue.
Sheet music –
notes build cathedrals of sound
that wait in patient silence.
My daughter’s horse –
strong willed spirited mare
who taught her so much.
Print in books –
the miracle...

Refinement Comes By Fire
Trivial thinking makes a waste of life;
Like polishing your shoes as Jesus dies.
Yet academics often create strife,
With philosophers more intellingent than wise
Perceptions sharp as nail bombs to the eyes
Are diverted onto other paths and lives.

Allegorical Thoughts
In a mishmash of the ubiquitous
Consonants peppered with vowels
Thoughts flow as my hypergraphia grows
Building fireworks of prose
Upon scraps; line or unlined sheets
With a restrictive verse
I the Poeter can be quite terse
A thought provoking reshaper
A tessellation...
