feline royalty,
worshipped by all,
all-knowing eyes,
judging other's loyalty,
decades pass,
yet there they stay,
the sacred leaders,
ruling over many.

and dexterously
carved out to mollify

The work of celestial

in hundred decades 
seen.

I come well worn from decades past
Not torn but well defined
A spirit found at last
And here upon this shore 
With universal twine

Over six decades
slinging dirt around
reckless-hearted one.
Over six decades 
having dirt slung at me.
Time to get out the bleach
scrub things clean
Join me?

Sleeps in a benumbed setting
For many decades
Waiting for the flame that melts
The ice that serves as shelter

Premium Member The Joy of my Life

The great joy of my life is the stage,
singing and acting, regardless of age.
Starting at age sixteen,
five decades on, I'm still keen.
With an audience, I love to engage!

I Have Become Ash

I have become ash
Decayed for decades
What happened?
To my lithe thoughts
And deft digits

That could churn
Heaviness into brevity
And paltry pursuits
Into wee nuances

Alma Mix

We school friends met

After five decades

One came by air

One by car via

One motorcycle share

One by public bus fare

We school friends met

After five decades!

Something More

Edgar Poe was named for the poet folks adore
but he cared not for women known as Lenore.
Reading Stephen King
was clearly his thing
unaware the model was made decades before.
