FireworksBOOM.
a puff of purple powder stains the pewter sky.
i sit, listening
to the whirring and fizzling
of the firey starlit, glistening
when the midnight clock strikes nigh.
a red light joins in the heavens high,
shimmering
and with a crisp, cool whistling
a tune as musical, magical as fiddling
that steals away breaths by and by.
when all is said and done,
and the burns...

Red And BlackThere are two ants that accidentally fell on the ground due to strong winds. These ants live in two different trees standing very close to each other.
The red ant saw its treehouse collapsed and fell on the ground. The black ant saw it too and quivered, thinking that it's...

Jofra vs Burmrah the crown jewel duelIs there any other sort of sport.. that can hold a candle to having to handle
Getting caught in the ripsnort onslaught scandal…as speedsters hold court
Fraught as they face a serious deleterious imperious express pace ace
At their sleek peak..unique freaks..bombastic..iconoclastic mercenaries
Havoc to wreak on adversaries.. and their own physique..
So as we’ve read..will the King of swing..zing...

Red StagShe holds a bright flame
to see through the dark
for she's fearful of far
incoming storm clouds
Red Stag on the hill
watching closely in height
majestic proud stance
she's not fearful at sight
her long skirt touches leaves
as she crosses the *sruth
and her flames light her face
as her hair flowing loose
and she picks up her steps
as she hears foxes cry
and she...

Murder in the Red BarnA couple soon to be said newly wed,
yet swiftly snuck behind the family’s back
to swear the vow inside th’old shack,
quick forgot’n, buried a secret dread;
A reek awaftin’ out a country shed
left long and fast behind by Spring-heeled Jack,
the stench o’ rot stinkin’ from a sack
discovers a soiled corpse ‘n’a mangled head;
Well…, they ‘was a...

Blood and waterI used to think blood meant forever,
That family would never hurt you.
“Blood’s thicker than water,” right?
But I take the water—
Wash away the blood,
Remove the red-soaked stains from my life.
Blood thicker than water?
Maybe in another life.
Family—
A word that holds little meaning,
A word they never earned.
They should have been my safe space,
Yet now there’s just an empty...

Red Banner, No Quarter
Early on a cold March morning
a handful of men took a stand
in the year of eighteen thirty six
when a sabre drew a line in the sand
it was victory or death for the valiant few
outnumbered and out-gunned
surrender and be spared an ultimatum they knew
with a cannon shot by Travis it was shunned
even as the day was...

Morning at Lake Red Hawchoppy and cold river, white foam is gathering as if it has been in a blender
there is no sound this morning, no bird speak, no crickets, it is silent
I dipped my hand into the water, it was freezing like a frozen halibut.
A peanut butter cup made its way to my mouth, I tasted salt and...

She died in a body she hatedShe died in a body she hated
Her last memory was watching herself get assassinated
How she died isolated
Surrounded by a see of white faces
Who stood there being witnesses
To something that would be talked about across the ages
Her blood had painted the pavement
The cop stood there admiring his painting
She died in a body...

Red, White And Black Blues
The white man stole their land
now the red man has the blues
the white man sold their families
and the black man's still ill-used
the white man shot the American buffalo
now the red man sings the blues
the white man put their people in chains
and the black man's grief accrues
the white house is to blame
the Government just the same

There Goes The Baker
The echoes in cartoons,
The sermons in static,
How every chorus begs us
To wake, or vanish.
Maybe God is a director.
I don’t know.
But the script is too perfect,
And the extras too hollow,
Like the background forgot
How to breathe on its own.
There goes the Baker.
Popping pills in his blue buggy
with one red ball and another blue dangling from...
