The Whitworths-F

It was both a complicated and simpler place and time.
Mostly a quiet place tucked away, but not far off the beaten path.
Occasionally, a noisy and sometimes uncivil place, but very little crime.
A place though legally...

Politesse Pleases Me

thank you very much
for letting me clutch
your attention courtesy

But his heart is open, the love is there
He is refined, conservative and well mannered
She is spunky, life full and somewhat to be desired
Her dress...

Third grade
Ms. Greene
Handed me tightly wrapped Chinese candy 
And Starburst occasionally

A little girl
Fresh out of Haiti
Bullied
Teased, punched and kicked
Scared and scarred
Yet well mannered 

Blue she wore “going on a date?
Ms. Greene giggles and smiled

What a great surprise and joy, like flowers’ bloom
You, four lovely babes filled my world with gladness
Got all the big smiles upon seeing your charm and cuteness

Close lies the pack of humanity, those for whom hunger for the
Fresh taste of the blooding’s first...

Unspoken Implication Belied Bon Geste

(unsettled conscience beckons expunging)

Upon espying aesthetically pleasing lass
(considerably younger than me),
middle aged ma'am, or classy older woman
impetuousness overtakes rationality
courting acquaintanceship constituting

aforementioned type female
these premature ejaculations
blindside yours truly
upon comfort level

One Night With the Mjq (For Sue M)

It was a night I'll always remember,
I've told this tale so oft,
Sometimes I forget, and on my 3rd repeat
My friends think my mind has gone soft

But it's way back, maybe "69,

Empty Glass

Empty Glass 
Stained

The house is empty. 
The dogs...
are barking again. 
This happens, 
and.

It is left hanging there, 
for a reason. 
The word...
Says little and less, 
when I have run out of breath, 
to speak words...
