Lost Art
a decade ago, I picked up water colors and acrylics O the exuberance of being a first-time artist Who, in myriad poverty of apartheid, scorned art As the purview of those living in luxury Yet I was spending five hours on painting crosses with doves Celebrating Jesus and the Holy Spirit Then too, in 2012, my heart and art suffered loss As...

Premium Member Memories of Maryland
Memories of Maryland I woke up in a pleasant dream with unfamiliar sights at hand so far away from my known land. A wooded forest by a stream and all around the rolling hills, my weary mind, with comfort fills. The air about with nature teems as birds, their soothing songs, display, and deer and squirrels and chipmunks play. Sun’s warming rays through treetops gleam and...

The Maryland 400, Part Ii
...But with redcoats in the rear they couldn’t persevere, on narrows paths by a small creek escape from their foes they did seek, but who would guard the rear? Stirling and four hundred brave men from Maryland, would act as the army’s safeguard, and against two thousand they charged, sheer madness, it was said. To a nearby stone house the redcoats had advanced, when Maryland came with...

The Maryland 400, Part I
The British had stumbled in Boston the year last, but came again for vengeance bold to bleed freedom, damage untold, with fire and with blast. To New York their ships sailed thirty thousand men strong, and Washington, on islands spread, awaited their coming with dread, with his militia throngs. Twenty thousand untrained souls, armies came right for them, divided, not knowing just where the British would come, all...

Premium Member Antietam Creek Maryland
Antietam Creek, Maryland Antietam was fought on Maryland ground at the foothills of Appalachia. There McClellan, Lee and Jackson were found with troops from Potomac and Virginia. McClellan shrewdly, saved some of his men, while Lee sent the entire army forward. Does blood cry out as the withered grass bends? Should they be buried facing home, southward? Victors of Antietam, we wonder who? At Sharpsburg...

Premium Member A Maryland Summer
Our Robin’s nest on twenty-eighth bayside, strung like the Kite’s Loft display. Free and now flowed with the tide, as we watched the sunrise of each day. Center courts of youth and bouncing Penns pushed full throttle jet skis into romances. The moon lit footprints in amends, as Hope laid us down with chances. The sun’s vixens sat on boardwalk benches, their penthouses held...
