my sky burns
I smell the acrid smoke
taste the ash on my lips
a thirst unquenched
my skin hot from the heat
my soul singed
my heart incinerates

For those who have
an acrid mind,
a bitter mouth,
I offer my creamy verse,
sweet as delicious ice cream,
addictive as love,
in chocolate form...
help yourself !

Agitators ambush America
anger attacks, abstruse
acquaintances and adversaries acrid
absolutism acolytes abrading
abrogate acrimony
America, arise altogether
amend, amend

Alliteration
The Witch’s incantations
Slowly bubbling
Acrid arguments
Denying a truce.
The Warlock’s whispers
Chortling conjecture
Snarling sentiments
Battering a peace.

The Darkness at Noon
Taps - echo hollowly
over the grey stones,
acrid odor of gunpowder
stings all memory,
flag, creased, folded,
presented.
A last salute.
A darkness at noon.

Couplet
Through quiver of night
setting chill to wintry breeze-
frost and flake drift icily
Acrid is this float -
tapping on windows like knocks
while children pray for sunshine.

Roaring round roads raucously
Orally overtly offending operators
Acrid antagonistic adjectives aired
Defiantly daring distracted drivers
Ranting raving railing
Aggravate annoy atrocious
Gregarious gone Goebbels
Exacerbate engage enrage

Bloody ravines
Crimson greens
Tumultuous skies
Vacuous eyes
Raucous jubilation
Sonorous ululation
Acrid slanders
Audacious satires
Languid apologies
Acrimonious envies
Man can shrug or guffaw
Makes Gods drop their jaws.

The faux fury has subsided
the acrid smell of pseudo battle
awakens wary sparrows
unsure of the victor
silence does not quell
the hangover
nor daylight erase
the blackout
of whiskey'd warriors
snoring on weeping lawns

HURT (Acrid Soul)
Hurt
Lingers
on her tongue.
Lips unable
to adjust. Prayers be-
came her remedy. Lips
slowly moving; causing her
tongue to breathe yet again. In hopes
of not tasting another acrid
soul as he. Now, oft to the next entree.
Pace, G

We are only trying to help you
You are surrounded by darkness
Keep messing around with narcotics
And you will drown in sadness
Things will disappear bit by bit
The walls are caving in
The little child needs you in his life
Your situation appears to be acrid and grim

Pictures posed in finest clothes
smiling eyes that tantalize
Words so warm, so sure to charm
yet acrid thoughts are all she's got
Never paired, her hatred's shared
through missives penned to many men
Stay in your hole, please, bitter troll
or heal your heart, before you start

Fireworks and Fireflies
The sounds and smells of war
jubilation at its end,
blended irony of history.
Acrid stench of gunpowder
choking sound of taps
hover over hallowed ground.
Gallantry’s entombed
silenced in their duty
whisper from the past.

Loud crowd surrounding
cheering both for life and death
a cry to appease the Gods
pure entertainment
for the frenzied mob who seeks
spectacular scenes of sport
death's acrid tang sparks
determination to win
and accept adulation.

And They’re Off
His words
worn sneakers soundlessly
pound the parchment
of life
leaving faint imprint
on passing
flowing
in seemingly effortless
struggle
lost
in the acrid fury
of the starters
pistol.

And no one kept a tally of the rain and
Drops that fell.
And the rain falls..

Strobing the asphalt
Counting souls
petrichor turns to acrid urine.

I fly across a lively splendid hallway over to the cross side.
Stirringly, my body is as yet stored on the acrid, cold ground.
My weights are lowered, relieving a large burden off my gear.
Alike a shouting newborn, entirely bare and defenseless.

While the media loves Donald Trump
His mind is an acrid waste dump
He speaks from his ass
His mouth passes marsh gas
Thus he's known to us as Donald Rump
This idiot/moron was the leading story on the news shows for this Sunday. This is a total waste of time and is mostly about TV ratings. Go Bernie Sanders (the Trump antithesis)!!

Limerick
i start awake from acrid dreams
as all my senses meld to one
i taste the bitter ashen air
cremains of lifetimes
torn asunder...licked by
the devil's sharp tongue
too hot to touch
too painful to see
through tears of disbelief
this nightmare reality
spits and Snaps and SCREAMS
ALL AROUND NOW - DEAR GOD!
WHY HATH THOU FORS....chosen me
........to save?

I built a mountain to collect dew.
Glaciers are formed when ice and water glue.
Sculpt valleys out of the rock face of hills.
River canyons run ophidian to the spills
God constructed this beauty.
Humans build their homes from sooty
Farm work is acrid, and this costs blood.
And they might endure the flood

Rhyme
a pink tupperware container in the cupboard,
filled with salt kept in its acrid epitaph.
now its been years since the cabinets mouthed around
the windows.
the need for dry sinues grows.
blood purified rushes to the heart drawn by the
meter and decimal.
a moment and a memory unravels in the skin.
we learn to get by on a little less.

I do not know?
Alone, this evening,
I see despair and darkness
wrestling in the wind
with these questions:
How much misery do I need
until I say enough?
Why must I still have to stay
instead of sayin' goodbye?
The beer in the gleaming glass
is like bubbling brook,
tempting me to quaff its acrid taste
to let the pain peter out
until my brain feels a brief
oblivion.

Wipe away acrid tears of yesterday,
unchain the unforgiving guilt inside.
Listen, for a moment, to what I say.
You must, to yourself, open your heart wide.
Allow His lasting love to be your guide,
flounder not in the sea of broken souls.
Rise above. Feel His love. Heal, become whole.

Black Squirrels.....
Leave no shadow
Heads bowed in solemn faith
Cars weaving between stations of the
Cross; and old spanish tiled crypts
A glimpse, then another the casket lowered
The air, acrid with stinging ash of burnt metal; flesh
Fused with memories lost

Lyric
The rain trickles from a leaf
Drop by drop
Like punctuated grief
Or the drip
Of empty cup
Draining mercy to the dregs
We live at the edge of fire
So flammable
Our gullible hearts of sin
And so blind
As the forest burns closer
And I
I do not tell again by smoke
The world too acrid, lies
And I
Listening for dripping water
Hear
Mercy merely dripping from a leaf
