lock, and barrel linkedin to Celtic legend.

Sentimentalism invariably swelled me bosom
regarding how grown former bonny lad,
essentially mutely...

Black Cats
See the black cat run, jump, slink away, a shadow within shadows and a life force of mystery. A predator in composite, a compact killer, a butcher for life, the apex of its design, all...

The Silliness
Homey eyes of peasant stew
A cozy-colored mossy mew
Stony cottage, snowcheeks bleu
The forest fins for frosted fruits.

The warmest thought speaks crumbly bread
A partridge purr puffs through my head
That grants the grunkest grue a ‘Get!’
To packrat out...

Spoiler Forewarning Alert!

This averred title announced straight

(hoop fully letting me abbreviate)
a short cut so ye

while metered time,

not yet foregone and not to late
hence best heed mine caution
which can protect...

Our Ship of Life
The unpredictable yaw of rolling seas,
as in life pummels us from side to side 
randomly dictating its capricious ways 
lacking logic the tossing grips us and seeks to take our lives

Rising and Falling In a Tempest

randomly dictating capricious ways

comes at night, tells its tale...

Shooting Sixty Four Rapids In the Time Stream
Shooting sixty four rapids in the time stream

Powder milk biscuits helped yours truly, 
a Norwegian farmer wannabe feel bold
enough to weather inclement
steady rain which swirled, pooled,
and eddied around rolled

Shooting Rapids In the Time Stream
Steady rain swirled, pooled,
and eddied around rolled
up pant legs skinny ankles, which
immediately felt cold
before undertow willingly

steadily, and nimbly pulled this former
ace swimmer into watery fold
quelling, relinquishing, and taking
my hard won mettle of gold
earned early in...

The Coming Kingdom
And the rain of terror shall churn out

Of the deepest part of earth

Accompanied with terrible roar

Spreading a universal famine

On this desolate street of Enwuncho

Awaiting the coming kingdom

 

And the old serpent shall emerge from Eden

Swindling...

Lobster Rain
A eulogy on the car radio:
he was a good friend to all.

It begins to rain.

On the road an opossum family,
bodies strewn
according to size and age,
some pancaked, some
playing dead forever.

A lobster gave up its existence
for me,
was...

Sharpen the blade and start the fire
Set ablaze your selfish desire
Alas, I have learned of your hidden goals
It is you for whom the bell tolls

Call it hate, call it detestation
For your love is the only...

Halloween Night Fright 2016-10-21
Have you seen it? ..I cry!
A Gwalligup ..with one great green eye!
Laughing from one ...of its many molten mouths 
Licking the lips of another …my entrails to devour
Oh the agony …Oh the fright
Waiting, watching this...

Adrift At Sea
For years this ship has been sailing the seas
From the beaches of Hawaii to the Florida Keys
With no land in sight and no view of atolls
The ship was used to pitches, yaws and rolls

Alas, land...

Stigmatic
Yellow walls are swinging

object

compounded out of blood and flesh
is lying down

copy machine
and
one piece of paper

yellow walls are swinging

object

green
red 
blue
crying

only one piece of paper
and it is white

yellow walls are swinging

object

crucified
over stabbed

At home there is a stubborn flower

Sickening like yaws it is
Touch it and it curls
Undress and it laughs heartily
Break it and it rejoins itself
Beat it and the stick breaks
On her cheeks tears flow as I...
