cancer survivor
eight years with a clean record
feeling some relief
year nine is a killer year
cancer takes body hostage

a cool sun shivers
held hostage by graying skies
fluffed feathers await

The gray dawn baptized,
—a child of night
Salvation hostage,
—imprisoned light

Hostage
I'm hostage to Payne's grey
ninety percent of my mind
My star is quenched in heavy clay
despite the worlds dispensations
Hostage Horror ...
Hungry ...Hallucinating Haze
However...Hopes Held High

Now, Mr. President, stick to your guns
Hamas releases all hostage by this Sunday eve
~ or else Hamas is forever done
Time has my heart hostage the ventricle all bent
I will not surrender till every second of time is spent
For Black Eyed Susan's contest: Time
twilight's curtain
my senses acute
hostage of age

The cat can stretch out anywhere
In grass or gravel
In catnip patches
However he has a favorite spot
In front of the front door
Holding us hostage
Hilary hiccups had helped
Hilary Hellstrom hide the
Historic helmet at her
House in the Hamptons
But the Hamptons held
Hilary Hellstrom hostage

Wounded, woeful woman.
Hostage of hindered hope.
Yowling, yearning, for you.

Words held hostage
by a giant hive keeper.
Queen lost.
Trying to survive
hostile takeover of
narcotics
attempting to flush out poisons
so Queen may live again….
Privilege shares with friends and family
the whys and wherefores of your creed;
lest your lack of concern and charity
keeps a faith hostage that they need.

Imagination fills my soul with her own sweet purity
Dashing and crashing through and ahead of every other thought
Taking me sweet hostage while I pretend to kick and scream.
The past cried out a dire warning
unlocking you from the moment
“History rules, the die is cast
—the future of your discontent”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2018)
The Electoral College is fraud.
At it's best they take us hostage
Then pay our ransom in jest
This two-party-system
Disingenuous
Slithery snakes
Investing
In fear
Stock.
Wheelchairs and Prams
Alive wheelchairs and prams should
hold hostage people who
breach the condition of
not permitting entry to
the disabled into
their buildings!
Yellow Canary on top of a cage
Rests in hush as it turns another page
From wild slip, it is carefree
Silence is a sight to see
Deep, it thinks that the cat is its hostage
the clock tower held her hostage
she knew there was a message
aren’t you asleep yet? called her mother
she was quiet, feigning sleep
knowing it was not going to happen tonight
Check door, handle, lock. Check them twice.
Life with O.C.D. - that's the price.
Do the same each and every day;
"Unlocked!" the inner voices say.
Holding you hostage in a vice.
Fluorescent signs shout
"Liquor" and "***,"
cardboard boxes
hold the land hostage,
pushers and prostitutes
pirouette
with survival
their only choreographer.
let's untie
all grips
that tie us back
We are so fragile
as our dreams...
Let the heart
does not be hostage
of our weaknesses anymore
and let's so thus
be free,
to love again!
What is poetry…well
Y’know, like when
A thought is captured by an idea
Held hostage
By a pencil
Interrogated
By itself
Answering wordlessly
If I knew
……………would it still be poetry
If I am ever taken hostage
I hope it’s by my grandchildren
They will take me to a park,
And make me swing and slide,
I will crazy laugh
And chase them down
Play and play
The best
Day
Hostage to fortune,
prisoner of time
Trophies a burden,
polished and shined
Greed but a jailer,
freedom denied
Hope in confinement
—wishing a crime
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
