The treachery of a false friend
is sudden, cutting—always cruel;
his knavery observes no end
and he’ll use you like a drunk fool.
He’ll play you like a violin,
like a puppet on a tight string;
before long he’ll get you to sin
and do a lawless, evil thing.

Love of reality is a hoax
When it comes' to
Reflecting once upon
A dream
Human sentiment is the
Most probable of all things'
That I have ever seen
The Knavery of an instant
Forsaken by thy will
Be true
With lethal appendage's
Beckoned threw
Sight in the before
And the here-after life

Imagism
Dabs of paint
Blots of ink
Challenging the world
To think
Reflect on texture
Tint and style
Acceptance, truth
Or full denial
Metaphoric words
That pierce
Trembling minds
Of those thought fierce
Subtle hints
Of bravery
Hidden in
Dark knavery
Blots of ink
Dabs of paint
Shades of what it is
And ain’t
For in the dab
And in the blot
Artistic battles
Need be fought

Dear Barcelona
Bride of Spain
Mourn not precious jewel
For we are praying for you
We are praying for your children
That they may find favour in heaven.
Sea feliz!
To spite the devil's tricks
And make farse of his knavery
That you may find peace with the enemy
So their souls can be made pure and right
Mysterious Barcelona
Try not to make sense of this
For only the creator knows why,
Rise like the Spanish rose in the face of rain and sun
Remain in your unmoved dazzle.
