Poetry

An escapade in entendre
A vacation to self-connotation

A release
From the vicissitudes
Of Certainty

Equivocating consequences
White juxtaposing …

An amusement
Of words...

Creature from the black lagoon or God juxtaposing
                      something wild just in time for me to cross its path

peacock’s crossed the line
tail feathers insouciant
on my side of road
replaced the turkey vultures
that previously unnerved

high spirited historians have had hissy high-jinx over alternative facts
interestingly, instilling intentional intellectual events with integrity intact
juxtaposing jurisprudence juggling judgmental journalism best they can
Keeping knowledge kosher
legalizing ledgers in the land...

Avalanche 

Avalanched blizzards' cold dustings 
           envelope: 
 forests, gulleys, hillsides--
intentionally juxtaposing life...
 making necrose obstacles 
   painstakingly quiver,
      releasing Snow!
             Tons!
Ubiquitous vagabond-wielding
        Xenophobics'... Yielding Zone!

A poet touched my heart last night, he wrote of deprivation
Of child abuse, starvation's plight, the heartaches of a nation.
This juxtaposing universe so vividly portrayed
Has made me feel discomfort by the message it conveyed.
At liberty in mind and soul and body I am found
But on this self-same spinning globe such miseries abound.
Lord help me to appreciate each blessing you provide
And may I show benevolence with your love as my guide.

The creative juices are flowing
so, why cant I keep going
I'm starting to lose sleep
this crap is getting deep
The ideas are slowly growing
but, they're not overflowing
These things are not unique
they are losing their mystique 
So, what I'm proposing
is to start composing
Now I must critique 
words that are oblique
and defiantly code in
things that are imposing
Then, use a technique 
that helps me to peak
by just juxtaposing 
things that are engrossing...

By her tongue, honey gold, 
Tipped with steel lashes; 
Eyes behold with narrowed ire, 
Stinging welts; and crashes 
Through the barrier of skin, 
The naked perimeter fence, 
A culture clashes in some 
Past or present tense. 
Substituting words to heal 
With jackal-lipped unkindness, 
Juxtaposing dark for light, 
My love accepted blindness 
At each and every stroke, 
By her tongue, poison black; 
I forgive and kiss her lips 
For all the times she took it back....
