Pascal

Blaise Pascal awaits his last call 
beneath Saint Etienne-du-Mont's tall 
columns and old rood screen.  God's nature, 
pray, ups the odds on his last wager.

we can't wait for superman

Trump drools to be in charge and boast
That he's the god host we should toast
Yet Don’s now upset
Since the odds on bet
Ranks him behind great Caesar’s ghost

Fold Form Poetry - Climate Change

Climate change, a threat! All bookies odds are odds-on, Would one want to bet? Look, can you not see sorrow? Climate change a threat! Wildlife, that was, disappeared! No good now regret! Natures warnings all denied! Build your own rocket. The clock near to striking doom! Climate change a threat!

Despair

Despair  clouds of anger  in drought   
Toll its  rhyme washed  own  trust
Escape its face aged still crisp visions  veil
Replace with  faceless shame  pave title of hate
Close its sphere hangs  prejudices  nowhere
Odds-on  steps  surveil passages  soak  in conflict
Tender the pain  redeem  its sins thrill  magnitude
Suicidal thought  be drug  calm relax  face the coming day

Normandy Now

Velcro shod man
lingers in the V.A. clinic
for yet another visit;
he slowly turns pages,
reading pictures.

Withered man
peeking from beneath bushy eyebrows
laying odds on another day
at the park:  stooping
to stop the ball
a kid just threw curved
into the wheelchair.

Sitting
his old bowed head
white and sparse of hair
a tired head,
tired of waiting
to finish
the landing.
