We Are a Story

last steps
in different streets
take us to the same place
on the pages of a story
our life we read
in short

we are a story

Except, Perhaps, Prayer

Curse.  Rail. Spit.
In short impress your peers
With your modernity.

Sneer. Scoff. Hit.
But naught will save
You in eternity.

Life in Short

We’re born; we learn.
We grow; we thrive.
We mourn; we yearn
And so, survive.

We strive; we nest.
We laugh; we cry.
Alive, we’re stressed,
Then lo! We die.

Look with non-judgmental eyes.
Listen patiently with ears set to kindness.

Premium Member Scuttle diplomacy '

Will sailors be scuttling ships.' 
If the US navy; gets in a real fix? 
In the great gulf of a war
with  rockets in short store
Hulls in shallows, like half showing bricks'

Love and Peace

Love and peace
Is in short supply
Some hold their anger
Until the day they die

People of the world
Should live as one
Instead of destroying the planet
Until one day, it is done

Emu

Five to six feet tall, 
roughly the same size 
as your average poet, 
but incapable of flight.

His wings but one-tenth 
of his total height;
in short, a groundling 
in a bird’s disguise.

A Short Poem

They say that the pen
Is mightier than the sword,
so I write this in short
to tell you of Gods’ rewards.

They are oh so much greater
than the materials of
this earth,
so believe in His word
and take it for what it’s worth…

Home - Now Returning To

More and more a comfort
Restful-lamped eves
Of consoling. In short
Home. Rest begets.
Whose nerve-stilling quiets
Soon to seep aid.

Back from off a street blown
Which hour of life
All joy for has outflown
A heart. Afraid.
