A War Reprised

My foe is back
Eight years later
Still tracking footprints
Still throwing shade
Chief hater
Slinging grenades in stacks
Click boom
Lurking like a swamp gator
Cold blooded
No tact
No soul
Just impact

Takeover in phases
Careers torched
Dreams scorched
You hateful witch
Buy
Destruct
Sell
Demonic greed
On a platinum shelf
You torch what you touch
Then grin to yourself

You will never understand
Here take this
It’s useless
Like rebellion in a Fortune 500
Fruitless
Like screaming in a soundproof

Multi-Di-Minstrel Message, Reprised

Salutations!

Are we all just a footnote in God’s mental thoughts? 
He’s gotta BIG BANG Universe to run, does He not? 
He’s the most masterful, magical, mystical, mathematical Magician. 
He’s the “I” in Inventiveness and the thinking in thoughtfulness. 
He can be everywhere, all at once.  Anywhere, He wants.  Anytime. 
He can be anyone,

Summer of Discontent Reprised

   Americans were shocked and stunned
     ‘Reason’ abandoned, injustice had won

   On Sept. 8, 1974, when President Ford exited the stage
     The Republican right was left in fistic rage

   While the Democrat left was aghast, How could Ford do this

''What Beauty Is To The Geometrist'' Reprised Once Again

What beauty is (to the geometrist),
     has the shape of the Golden Ratio.
Beauty is courage, the defiant fist
     of a protector fear can't overthrow.

     Beauty, also, is Hector's promised vow,  
to defend city, child, and princess bride.

''A Love So Hot and Tempting as Rising Dough'' Reprised

A love so hot and tempting as rising dough,
     like fruit, oft' ripens during spring's brief life.
So feed the hunger! Bite the apple. Though
     some will judge you, let it not cause you strife.

“What role does Nature have for a pure virgin?”
     That,

''My Love for Rose'' Reprised--Revised

		I.

A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose:
     the one for whom I pen this song
that trills a note which sweetly flows.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose,
for whom the mind expands and grows
     when the sun's rays burn hot and strong.
A bard and swan, I

''What You Are to Me, Must You Ask'' Reprised


What you are to me, must you ask?
     Then let me say and say it well.
In the past, you once wore a mask,   
     a face of what I could not tell.  
Then, like a god, you take to task

''Odysseus in Contemplation of His Homecoming to Ithaca and Reunion with Queen Penelope'' Reprised


Far from this antique bay and moor,
     your plaintive voice sung for my soul,
and lifted me to Ithaca's shore.
     Can longing's echoes loudly toll,
and invite me to your front door,
     like gods that decreed from a scroll.

I sailed to Troy and far beyond,

An Old Lesson Reprised

Since a child
I am quiet when the thunder rolls
A but smile
When lightning touches the coals
It's not me
To argue or compete with wrath
Nor could be
Common found in a common path
I learned too
Never to be sure again, for god must
Only true
And surer than all little mortal dust
For how then
Was Adam and with better minds
Than we men
Convinced? Any

What Truth Seems Right (Reprised)

What stones seeks truth
In this light
What darkness reveals 
Truth, in this night
To know this answer,
What truth seems right

Preists Are Men - Reprised

The breath of priest
Stains this tainted glass
This light of men
In the eyes of God
Forgive me Lord,
For I have sinned
We shall not 
Break this code, within or
Let these confessions explode, again
Dear Lord, these priests are men. Amen
