Ukraine Clown and Tormentor
The man of war and his rage for conquest
clown and tormentor shredding freedom
we who are perplexed by disappointment
we observe the world succumb to evil plots...

Alone Cryging
Alone looking out the window
waiting by the front door 
feeling the loss of
her man at war,
tears she can't hide
alone she cried

Many years spent waiting
his memory lives on
never fading
her love never failing
she cried 
tears she can't dry
alone she died....

Once I took a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist
The doctor had a tinker with his toes
The doctor went around the bend
And all his hair stood up on end
And now he’s got a flashing orange nose

So never take a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist 
I for one won’t do that anymore
But if you take a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist
Please be sure it’s not a Man ’o War...

Searching, For Signs In Perdition
Imagine: hearing the scraping as nails harsh against, their walls
Creche preludes sensing this foreboding; crawling, past these veins ?
Sanctum sanctorum and macabre's, man-of-war his abomination peering
Stepping-stone hallucinations; intuitive marked it's beast ? Ancient's, six'pence....
Monere, a child's eyes prophetic tides omega: hideous, standing where they ought not....

His, California Chrome
Sky scrapers posed a gauntlet across her neon waters....
Radioactive tides their evasive in stalking horse wavelengths
Walpurgis nights  preordained pentagon knife; planchette's point
Blank modern day Pompeii ? Neptune's, man of war; crimson's rabbit.

Multinational
If it takes a dollop of Dutch courage to French kiss an English rose would it make a lily-livered Indian giver look down his nose but with Yiddish chutzpah as a Spanish fly on the wall and luck o' the Irish you could Australian crawl and yet the Chinese fire drill it's still a safe bet and a Mexican standoff are not Russian roulette but who'd deliberately open the door for a Portuguese man o' war

Words
Words now are leaves waiting for the fall
I have seen them green
But loved them gold most of all
When trees were naked before the eyes
And words were tattered so with lies
And faith shook
The trees barren. I pined for fruit
Of lips of truth, or breast of purity
I hungered for love
And saw nudity that tells of shallowness
The only deep soil left is my heart
Words are being beaten into plough
But I prefer the two-edged sword
Since I am not a man of war....

“Rash and inexperienced”
frees thoughts within my mind
of traipsing deepest Africa
retrieving melon rinds.

Bi-colored python rock snakes
and wondrous fever trees
delights in my imagining
from phrases such as these…

How is a rudyard kippled? 
I’ve often wondered that.
Perhaps Limpopo’s man-of-war
and I could have a chat.

Though pachyderms and heffalumps
can make the mind run wild,
enchantments hang on every page
of Just So Stories, child....
