Long Workshops Poems

A MINISTER RETIRES :  
SOLILOQUY

from Akasha ashes 
counterparts frozen 
with foibles intact
a still Arctic of death
sheath for recalibration 

Source Light breathes into 
fontanelle slowly sleepily  
Sekmet my...

Worth north of a trillion dollars,
(plus or minus a billion dollars here and there),
the unnamed obscenely rich,
(which top 15 billionaires
projected to become trillionaires

 the sailors trying to save their own lives,

 unto the human psyche.

The cosmos composed wholly of oceans with...

In the odyssey of my soul, I have sailed seas of uncharted destiny,
Embarked on the ship of time, under the flag of a stormy youth.
Six years under the starry sky, I forged myself among the...

The Finest Antebellum Mansion in the South

By Elton Camp

In the realm of words, where knowledge thrives,
Teachers guide with wisdom, where the ink arrives.
Enhancing writing, a guiding light they bear,
To elevate students, their written tales to share.

They mould the process, each stage they steer,
Prewriting,...

Another poetry reading.
I arrive late and drop my phone in a workshop.

I capriciously retrieve it and slink to the corner,
My notebook and pen
Poised and ready
For my muse to be resurrected after
A long hibernation.

This is why...

To one of their representatives in many...

My life has been fairly stable. Rarely does an event “change my life” in any significant way. Marriage, children, one’s job. Of course, these alter one’s life course, but when I think of a life-changing...

Where blood is not enough

Blood flows, flows, flows
Competing with Nile waters
Blood Threatens to overwhelm 
Tigris and Euphrates
To make Red Sea, redder
But the head goes crazy, crazy
Where blood is not enough

The people cry, cry, cry
Yet the...

Deafening Silence
By Sy Roth

Are they going to die like that 
Buried under the silt of time with it all unresolved?
Are they a ribonucleic disaster, a broken string of DNA 
Deposited in a weary, weeping womb?...

Humans, be not proud
Every human is a farm
Chocolate for animals
To live, eat and survive
Every human, bacteria’s cake
Food for viruses they are
With delicious juicy flesh	
For fungus, fish and ferns
The healthier, the bigger 
The more balanced the...

Dawn files gather here
Meeting notes and plans unfold
Like spring's first petals

Through corridors decisions
Flow swiftly as mountain streams flow

CSR dreams take shape
Schools transform day after day
Future's seeds now bloom

Virtual bridges span distances
While screens light paths forward...

Who are they?
Under the shadow-filled sky, where the stars are only question marks,
they weave invisible webs, devaluing our dreams of gold and silver,
they hold us in chains of invisible debt, like puppets in a sad...

He records the works of his life, the ephemera
he once scrawled onto the tissue thin,
thinking them indelible blueprints.
Most were fables told to a dying legend,
Pastimes, that were chariot wheels
for his little red wagon.

THE DUNNY BRUSH
It has been here since modern sewerage was begun
and each water closet usually has at least one.
But to get a participant to use it, can really be a chore.
Most folk will use the...

My doctor says, as we grow older,
and keep cramming stuff into our brain,
sooner or later, it has to dump.

Is this really true?
Or, is it simply a doctor's excuse
for something to which he has no answer?

To my home, at budding age, I became a life-saver...!
