Tender chicken breast filets
Lightly dredged in flour
Sauteed then simmered in sauce
lemon and capers
served o'er spaghetti

Dreams that seem to make no sense
bits and pieces of suspense
dissolve and vanish before my eyes
blackmail-spirals, howling skies
All exits blocked, no escape
ghastly images, scimitar-shaped
horrors dredged-up, long suppressed
drown in light once awake

Where once I saw the sun
flare like a peacock,
fish bones hiss
on a shale whipped beach,
banshee’s are dredged from sandy graves,
spume slaps nests of air.
Waves boom inside my beached ribs.
I am so full of sadness
that I hear myself mew
like a gull in a gale
when it tumbles
as flightless as stone.

Blank verse
You haven't dredged my lake...
you don't know who I am...
you're floating on the surface
of Lake I Could Give A Damn.
So please excuse me
when I exit while you sigh;
I've got deeper things to do
and bigger fish to fry.
I do the things I need to do
to put the butter on my bread,
but there are a thousand things
I'd rather do instead.

You move
Like some mythical beast
Who would not have been you
If there were any options
Your thoughts
Are like some invisible sculpture
Draped in the deepest mysteries
Of the madness in man's dreams
You speak
Like some antediluvian prophet with your
Arcane gestures and half forgotten metaphors
Dredged from somewhere in the deepest past

Elizabeth: squat river with cranes, tugs, wharfs abristle,
Its broad, deep-dredged breadth plied by warship and merchant mammoth,
Ships with haughty grandeur gliding along buoyed channel—
Lofty titans sneering down on collier, barge, sloop at sail
And, on fog-bound nights, soothing sleepers with moans baritone.

The form is not in the list. This form is Ae Freislighe
Calliope tutelage
“There be tales from times not told,
brought back through your lineage,
dreams dredged from dark days of old”
Animate lost Anima
place a new thinking cap on
hang up hero’s panama
parlay phrases till past dawn
Here sit I, laptop clicking
chickens chiding privilege
wrapped in writing, clock ticking
Calliope tutelage.

All wars scourged bodies and souls--
Torn spirits and dredged feet of the fowls
Ravished by rabid gargoyles of prey
Scuppered dreams of the reapers of hay
Wars circled the world of May
'tis emblem are ruins and remnants of flay
Wars for peace can be penned on paper
Words and spikes of chivalry of the bleeder
Ink flowing out are veins of the fighter
Scrawled blood purged from the might of the writer

Verse
I frequently have a day,
When I merely need space;
To clear my mind of things,
And get thoughts in place.
I've little to talk about,
No worthwhile thing to share.
Eyes frozen on something,
I just sit, think, and stare.
I think about moot things,
Or perhaps friends I've known.
Dredged deep from my past,
For whom fondness has grown.
So don't take it personal,
Those times when I seem distant.
I just desire some space,
That's why I'm resistant.

Lyric
His memory is beginning to fade
there are moments when he forgets her name
though they’ve been married for thirty-five years.
Through it all she maintains a bright charade
because she knows, there is no one to blame
her fears.
Sometimes he speaks of moments long ago
frayed fragments dredged from time’s jumbled arrears
of people and places they once did know.
In that brief moment, their love together glows
through tears.

It’s that time of year again,
When families reunite;
We sit together and reminisce,
About everything in sight;
We laugh and joke and carry on,
Like no time has passed;
Reliving those old memories,
That get dredged up from our past;
Playing games and hanging,
With our family and friends;
Hoping beyond hope,
That this night will have no end;
Cause Christmas time is like that,
It brings us all in close,
From the beginning of the evening,
'Til the time we say Adios!
