So,
when
I delete 
An App from 
my iPhone, the 
shaking icons make
it look like they’re panicked
over who is going to be deleted...

Can't Wait for Debate

Can't wait for debate
And we better not be late
President her fate.

Fences

Are icons

Of separation

Seeming to

Divide what

Cannot be

Divided..

Fences 

Write stories

Without which

No story

Can be told..

Fences are

Stories arising

Beautifully 

Empty......

The icons are falling
As idols are rising
Perhaps for their gifts
Being spared coming rifts

For the poets we grieve
Are of this fabric's weave
They are this tapestry
The fibre of our society

And they have marked us so indelibly...

It passes
But not in the quite 
Of a slagging snail
It does, just not without scars
It sweeps along with our icons

It comes,
Like a hailstorm and cyclone
Burning flames and washing floods
It roars like it has a life
But it passes...

Praise not icons
But follow the unseen
God's larger than a portrait
That of faith and blood is what washes you clean 
So be strong and wise 
And do not make a graven image of thee
Repent and be earnest
Because great rewards await thee...

Spirituality sensitive qualities
 Prime friends of the people
 Emanate. the special tenderness and peace
 Create the harmonization of the world
 Icons are without them knowing reason
 Amazed human beings from God
 Leaders of a new era......

Icons disintegrate and views
Long looked upon, now
draw their blinds tight 
Against warm air's tattered breath 
Whose crumbling words and sighs are stuffed between folded pages
Where shots ring out and
At the corner rounded
misadventures end...

Images
     
Imprint of holocaust
         indelibly entrenched
implodes with recurrence
          Injuring array of
icons  evokes nightmares
         inciting shrill screams of
infant left motherless

Truth can be found in the Bible
if one disregards the minister
and accepts the heart

Interpretation is just that
more fiction than fact--
to stop a living word
is to define it

Love needs only freedom
and not chants and icons

Christ never left us...

Black smoke turning to gray,
Strong icons toppled,
On that day.

People of the world they say,
Great Heros were lost,
On that day.

Rising from the dusty way,
Our symbol of freedom,
On that day.

A nation that will not lay,
But did unite,
On that day....

On a winding road but the view is clear,
pent up I am pierced by a bronze sunrise;
The perfect recipe? Us my dear;
Don’t take for granted what that implies;
Together we become icons, 
an addictive sumptuous treat;
Driving down deserted dawns,
inspiring a brand new beat....

You'll put up a statue
and say I'm a poet
When all of you worship
what I'll never know it

And go on to rhyming
what's left in the moment
When statues are showing
the glow of the loment

And I'll be impressed
when the honor is mine
And the statues are tumbling
for the last of the rhyme...

Three pedal pushers, pushed past,
mom, daughter, grand
icons of fashions.
Forms formed by the dictates of passion.
Hair cropped, brows plucked,
rural New England’s answer to
Dolly Parton.
Scooped necked and corseted
varying little from teen-queen to matriarch;
only the wrinkles told the tale....

Very common in human history
In name of faith- same
Some
-Monopolize hearts and minds of crowd -
Hijack the role of religion as the code of god
To gain the power and cast
The death and misery
Upon divided man
Icons of dark smoky
And insane
In theirs- faith
Bloody ritual thirsty
Fangs- their
Sectarian holds us in diffuse hate...

Gone, but not forgotten,
steals a little of my heart,
and no matter where I breathe
we are never far apart.
I see you at your icons;
your little bed beside the fire,
your favourite trees; the river;
facing cats that raise your ire.
Now even in our great divide,
that both of us were dealt,
without a word, or even thought,
your presence can be felt....

Saw a pigeon pecking pizza
On a local urban street.
I assume that it was cold, but still,
A tasty bite to eat.

What a mingling of icons
Of the New York City scene – 
Most ubiquitous of flyers
And most common of cuisine.

But what would have made me turn my head
And cause me to look twice
Was if there had been a rat or two
To share in that same slice!...

Must God stay beyond our
  understanding

His prophecy to conscript
  and confuse

Are the Trinity and  
  Resurrection

Both miracles or only
  a ruse

Do we build temples to
  our edification

Storing Icons that judge
  and decry

Is the Bible fictitious
  or sacred

Is Redemption the truth
  or a lie

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)...
