Now the neighbors yell out words like ‘gay’.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

We can not be shamed for sadness
We can not be blamed for madness
We ca not be harmed 
For our minds tell us so
Or is it our hearts 
For it is love that can keep us who we are...

  A bullet might redirect his gaze -- not gun control

Why
when I
begin to write a poem
am I
disturbed
by other poems
that break the walls
my mind has built
around them?

Why,
like now,
do I try 
to versify what
looks like prose?
Who knows?

I write.
Ca va.
It goes!...

Double Haikus

This warm CA spring
The exaggerated fears
Flu kills more every year

All fear death blood sells
All God's goodness forgotten
Sucked in by media hell

How ca I retire
So soon ?
How can I rest
Hastily ?
I am not drowsy
Nor am I fatigued.
I dictate
Stubbornly
To silence death
I resist
To escape the doom.
Away from the grave
I vamoose
Away from the edge
I  whizz.

I want maple syrup
For breakfast I had pancakes
Slathered in peanut butter and maple syrup
My lunch was meatloaf
The topping was maple syrup, ketchup and mustard
After supper I have a little warm coffee
I bet you ca guess what I used to sweeten it...
