Maverick Woman An American Sonnet
If I danced in the middle of the road
would you grab me or say ‘Go faster’?
Take a chance on a hitchhike across town
or go back afraid of what you may find?
Bohemian hearts wrapped in map pages
hold each destination’s stamp so tight;
I’m chasing the tide I welcome that ride,
life’s a joy as a Maverick woman;
When

Cows, Cattle, and Maverick
A Texan rancher Samuel Maverick,
Who never his calves and cattle branded,
That caused to create the word maverick—
An eccentric rebel born of cow shed!
Now, before the word breached its national,
Borders it meant ‘all cattle unbranded’,
And before that, ‘one unconventional’,
Mutating still: ‘master-less quadruped’.
Today, hidebound means man narrow-minded,
Long back it meant

Archibald the Maverick Pastor
Fifty-year old pastor Archibald
And already the vessel is bald
Now cold not red heat would the priest scald;
Now 'irritable'when he is called...
For twenty years now A Pastor:
Would not sit on chairs denied castor;
Claims a pastor:Better Doctor,
Against every demon: Victor
Before ordination shooting star,
No speeding sprinter was faster,
His knowledge of the game vaster;
So much the case that he

Champion Turned Scorpion
Only Last week with his Holy Bible,
I had to challenge Sam’s loaded pistol,
The whole spectacle indescribable
Thoughts of “Who did in him new thoughts instill?
This could yield cops’ visit and his arrest
Some dark cell his new place of ordered rest
If with it Sam appeared in a luncheon
He would not escape the first truncheon…
Now, I

Paper Aeroplane Dreaming To Be a Maverick
For John Lawless
Paper Aeroplane Contest

Every child at some point in their life
seeing someone fly a kite for the very
1st time
Will most probably later on that night
go to bed and say a prayer for one
of his or her very own
And who on earth amongst us wouldn't
want to know exactly what that

Bio Modified Subconscious Maverick
Subconscious
I dream eat ice cream seam stories and dig deep for meaning
Held by my lover her emotional wisdom and joyful convening
Souls are infinite as minds are essential and bodies transcend
Sadness joy and surprise deep inside are my foe and my friend
I'm afraid of blindness writer's block as well as immobile hands
Wish to stir magic potions

Maverick
“Maverick”
Mavericks are made
in the silence
spent
where
freedom
is kept locked tight
in solitary confinement
moments melting
down visceral pain
through love
and
loveless madness
fierce swords are
grown from what’s
left of the shattered
Heart’s core
self-belief taken up again
intellect fox cunning
running the gauntlets
between the
dishonour guards
in Hell’s burning rain
Majesties are silver spoon
and coddled born
Mavericks

My Maverick
There she was in plain view, clean, brightly colored, and not undercover.
As nice as she was, I don’t know why she was still there and not discovered.
She sat there quietly in a sales lot of an auto dealership. The only conclusion
I could draw was that she was waiting there, just for me.
I wasn’t sure

did all to plan,
left his mark, the firebrand,

Harriet Tubman - Maverick
Harriet Tubman helped free slaves
Determination gave her the strength
To break the law
And have slaves crawl
Through tunnels to make their escape -
She risked her life every day
