A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,
sticks and stones were real toys indeed,
set trash ablaze, be on alert,
a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made...

A sodden dreg with wooden leg is dancing for a dime,

to sacred psalms and other balms, all ticking with the time.

He’s 22, he’s almost through, he’s melted in his prime,

his bane is firm, the canker...

"The Third Degree"

We are hours into the mountain riverway, the current unfriendly to us
paddling earlier had simply strained the men to burning exhaustion, 
those who have the shoulder strength are paddling the two larger canoes
while the other...

in a cozy office in the US, 
maybe at langley, or
creech air force base,
north of vegas,
there is an officer watching video 
feeds of suspected targets in
“afghanistan, pakistan, bosnia, serbia, iraq, yemen,
libya & somalia,”
just to name...

It was a five ringed circus
Complete with the ragged remains of a tourniquet
Heavily fringed by the under eye baggage of a bloated nefarious
Clown soul that is
Blowing across the freeway garnished with the white plastic baggies
From...

O hear I chant clinging to a sullen northern shore,
tempestuous serene rocky beach that you so adore,
sultry soliloquy sturdy stifled structure sings,
a witness of forgotten sailors and majestic kings.

Them, I blessed with gracious shelter in...

A personal view of the Devizes Neighbourhood Plan
and the referendum on Thursday at the Town Hall

All careful plans of men may fail and fall
And falter, crumble; leaving broken stone
No reason to devise no plan at...

Anthropomorphic test device to explore
amply, cheaply tricked out 
with super tramping,
albeit unsophisticated trappings 
strewn ceiling to floor
available for purchase at Dollar store
(actually merchandise 
cost more than 100 pennies)
nonetheless unmanned spacecraft made
perfect landing upon alien nation...

As an armchair admirer
     of nature's fury viewed,
     safely and soundly ensconced
     within solid brick
poetic walls maneuvering
     the electronic...

Someone un-cuff me now 
Yes, you officer 
I already swore I never knew her
At least I thought she said she was 21 
Please believe me it was all in good fun 
But he’s promising me...

A POET LOST MUSE . . . 
  
A poet ponders on his lost muse
Yet with his pen on her did abuse

Now he looks upon a pen forlorn 
And at the door of his...

RAGE

A smolder, a flicker into being it’s born
It’s not a process for time is obsolete
A true ‘’pop out of the blue’’ like the saying goes
It’s trigger at the ready deep in our emotions
Rage we call...

April 3—Look at the sky!

One day the world woke up
To the impending end 
As a new asteroid. 

Quickly dubbed 
The doomsday asteroid
Headed to Earth.

Everyone looked up
At the doomsday asteroid
As the world scrambled
To send space missiles...

But still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings…
Then you are a badass with a heart of an angel..”

The journey had lasted several years
Whilst the crew slept together with no fear
Through space they accelerated 
To an earth like planet they anticipated 
Would it hold a civilisation earth-like
Travelling in peace as their exploration flight...

It never is an easy ride
And I don't mean to deride, 
But your imaginative sense, 
Far exceeds experience.

Gird your pen for unmanned flight, 
By never making yourself...

You remember fallen heroes who died in
 the first and second world wars
Fighters were united and fought above
 political, tribal and racial grounds
Brought forth peace and freedom 
 which we enjoy
Hence, do not water down...

A 
Ball
see it rise
like a
balloon 
massive fire-disk reflects
sun on fine sheets of steel
skinned over heat foam all
connected on
a track of circles
pipes and control refined
layers gas filled
rise high into space
tanks compress gas
engines flare and drive toward
and...

THE DEEP OCEAN OF THE MIND


The warm pebbles touch  my foot,  my sole,
In the turbulent shallows of tide  and wave.
My waking  self feels the  moon and sun pull.

And  hidden...
