dangerous late summer rains
flood waters churning

Silence of Rio Secreto
simply in safe space
waist-high water
silence and blindness
i owned the minute
lift of lilting quiet

Come High Water Or Hell
Had a salad a day for almost four years now
Not tired of it yet, that's dedication and how
Determined to eat well
Come high water or hell
When I reach my goal I'll take a deep bow...

Inundation
I-nclement clime brings
R-ainstorm and cold chill to earth,
I-t floods the city,
S-treets have turned into river,
H-aving high water level.

In Love and Hate
In love and hate
You are the one I care!
Can’t stop the pain
You are the one so dear!
In rain and shine
Come war or high water
I will want you
Forever and ever!
In shame and pride
I feel I need you near!
In life’s joyride
Sit beside me O dear!...

Limerick: Once a Yahoo Forced To Go Google
Limerick : Once a Yahoo forced to go Google
Once a Yahoo* forced to go Google
Took out a leash/lease to lasso Poodle
Yahoo marched his Mistress
Through high-water distress
And for pains was told to « Go ! Doodle ! »
*Refers to beings in Jonathan Swift’s Gullivers Travels

Hell and High Water
The hand that reaches down to hell
Gets scorched and the hand that
Reaches up to heaven gets touched.
Hell and high water hand in hand.
Level lake disturbed by the swimmers
Stroke; arm follows arm slicing the still
Water. He daydreams as he glides
Like an eel, glistening in the sunset.
Hell is quenched by the water he has
Touched....

Wave Crest To Breaking Point
Your hedonistic desires
replaced by a gonz0-journalism truth
while you stand at the precipice,
crying at the high-water mark.
you're not alone,
a whole generation
of alma matter hopefuls
gather here
to stare at the place where
kerouac could write ten novels
leave me here
to waste energy
on hedonistic, wave-crest fantasy
far rom the sting of a breaking point....

River's End
At the foot of the Elbow,
just above the Bow,
an angler drowned
his feet caught
in a shopping cart
split-cane rod still
firmly in his grasp.
On the Grand
just below the Gorge,
another died
opening weekend,
high water
few details are known.
At the Whirlpool
below Niagara Falls
bodies surface
sporadically
but few are anglers.
When I go, I hope
it’s in my waders
but miles of rivers
remain before
my rods pass
to you....

Skeletons of the Sea
They crunch under foot
Before i give notice
Shells and corals
These skeletons of the sea
Reds and purples
Most bleached white
upon this beach
Whole or in part
Vacant
thou some with
Inhabitants
Strewn across the
High water marks
Once alive and vibrant
With fish and bigger
Swimming about
Down in the depths
Of an apt name sea
Now broken
And divorced
From their watery home
To land on foreign
Dry shore
To be crunched under foot
These skeletons of the sea...

Poetic Voices From Algeria 2
Be strong, breed of mum!
For with them you won't find a bliss.
They will make sure you lack and miss.
They will even be counting
the sips of water you drink.
They want you to stumble and fall
And only them the sound and strong.
They have got no word of honor
No respect and no hope of being temid.
With them in darkness you will remain
And come hell or high water
They will sort you out false and wrong.
They may look carat 18 of gold,
But they are only plated and fake....

Being Lazy
Being lazy today is the name of the game.
I have no remorse, I have no shame.
I’m watching Hallmark movies to my heart’s content.
This Saturday afternoon will be well spent.
Come hell or high water, I won’t leave the couch.
This is what the doctor ordered for being a grouch.
The housework can wait, this requires my attention.
Being lazy today is the mother of invention!
