  We are free not to say what we think...

Yes, comrade, you are right -- wink, wink

my wife
an elder
a port in a storm
through history
a woman, a comrade in arms

but where would I be without you? helpless
in the jungle
in a shooting star

my wife,...

There once was a fellow named Joe
To the Soup, he was comrade and foe
            At times he would blog
            Then poets would flog
Yet, he always would leave us aglow...

Simple faerie laughed with wide loud teeth
Joke made by her angry comrade
Supposedly to hurt her
Making him really mad
She smiled widely
To show no care
Or respect
For his

vulnerable seagull left behind
standing on sandy beach
staring at lopsided waves
listening to the warnings of the sea
where is your family?
I empathize, feeling alone myself
a comrade...

This American icon does quite well
Known far and wide as the Hilton Hotel --
   Bernie Sanders just bought in
   Why is he sporting a grin? --
It's now named "Comrade Hilton." What the hell?!...

For Comrade Chris Hani
(1942 – 1993)

mowed down
by hot lead
your blood flowed
into our African soil
murdered you, yes, they did
silence you, they never will
for your voice
your spirit
speaks to us still...

"How many different curries are there?"

Asked the Chef whilst extracting 
selecting mustard seeds for his dish.

"Well,there is the title of the dish,
then 
there is the best version of that dish."

His comrade answered....

A-im to make friends, not enemy, 
L-ook for correct companion; 
V-ery good acquaintance 
I-s found in God's 
N-ation. 

J-anuary twenty-fifth Thursday, 
A-sk God for best buddy; 
I-mplore Him to give you comrade, 
M-ake friends, not 
E-nemy....

non-stop rat-a-tats
moving targets drop like flies  ~

a fierce, friendly fire
soldier retrieves dead comrade  ~

                        Down
                      mine self

          Locked within mine duke
           tramped on stony earth

     Whilst tears from mine comrade 
‘Bout mine separated torso’s limb drops
                    he lifts mine
                   exhausted me...

To never make a lot of friends,
 though enemies were scarce

And keeping both arm’s length away,
my words alone repaired

Splitting the difference tween comrade and foe,
the measurement obscured

One to the other, together as one
—my loneliness endured

(Berkshires: January, 2015)...

Bloodied and battleworn
I called for a steed that could run
Instead of a horse
You brought me a gun

A comrade in the trench
Not an invitation to a ball
I've run out of ammo
But it is'nt my war
You angered the enemy
He thinks it was me
You gave without asking
Now the problem is yours...

The possibility is there
That I might write
With the poet’s innate inspiration
What comrade time 
Has reason to portend

Of our aims
I might write
Or even our dreams

But our destinations!
Even the Pope’s edict…
Hist! I pledge my doubt.

Of greater moment 
Is our faith
In the plough.

Hail plough!
Hail abundance!...

Do you want to hear Hurrays
Tired of boos; want some Yeas
Drop impulsive texts and tweets
Give the nation a welcome treat

Every time that you get mad
Take my advice, comrade --

Think what Abe Lincoln would say
Think what Abe Lincoln would do
He re-united a divided nation
Give it a try; maybe you can too...
