Short Czars Poems

New Attorney General William Barr
Faced down the Senate's self-appointed czars
   Yet for doing his job, being brave
   He may just have dug his own grave...

Some people seek fate in the stars
Whilst others tempt fate behind bars
So there is a place
For those lacking grace:
The White House Latrine for Failed Czars...

I am the sequoia, standing still,
The universe from which galaxies spill.
I am sun, moon, the glitter of stars,
The unspoken word of monarchs and czars.
I am breath from beginning of time,
A man growing old reflecting in rhyme....

Summer Motion beneath the stars 
Comes to our town on July Fourth
Rock music by forgotten music czars,
Summer Motion beneath the stars
The heavy twang of electric guitars,
Old hits and loud fireworks go forth
Summer Motion beneath the stars,
Comes to our town on July Fourth.

apricot morning
tea and the dream
fading 
so slowly 
alive in the steam
rising in mists
from the china 
she saved
from Russia 
with love
barely snatched 
from the grave
of czars
and czarinas 
in exile
in France
watching the
children
write words
to a dance
inspired by
the leaves on the
trees in the wind
blown on the balcony 
shared with
a friend....

I wrote this just for fun
The poem has now begun 

Now sit back in your seat
For a poem that will be neat

It could be about life
Or death by a knife

Maybe about loads of money
Enough that it wouldn't be funny

Possibly about fast cars
Or long dead Russian Czars 

How about your favorite pet
Or even your best friend Brett

What if it was completely random
Nothing seems in tandem

Well that is true
Who Knew

Ruffling the feathers
Of your expectations.
Rilke to the left.
The portrait of Alf
The back of my left ear.
What unconscionable theives,
These Time Czars,
Where we live with the scars,
As joy bounces on the crevices.
I see you in the dark in some cave.
Let me be your bombastic populist.
The Strong Arm of the Soul.
Play in the light of least resistance. 
My garden grows in the garden of your heart.
My every breathe is your eternal existence.
Bite the doughnut. 
Press for hugs.
