Sonnets - Pleiades
Sonneteer Petrarch, with
Shakespeare, set the standards:
so little space - fourteen
short lines, each with just ten
syllables. Yet greats like
St. Vincent Millay weave
scripts pregnant with meaning.

The Wisdom of Numbers
One
we go
Two three through
this life for all
they seek the Fifth column
they had a Sixth sense to
recompense the poor the weak impoverished Ones
Petrarch, Dickens, Marx, Harding-Davis, Riis, Mother Teresa,
In form rare to Multitudes, but not these souls,
Thanks to human kindness amidst the insanity-- Ah the Humanity!...

The Thief of Hearts
THE THIEF OF HEARTS
I am she who gathers the wind
‘And hunts the hare with the fox
And swims against the incoming tide’*--
Who are you with your jagged sword
To step into my reckless shadow?
Who are you to put your rough palms
Against the plans of my yearning heart?
Shattered behind you are the discarded souls
Of ten thousand tears—
Mine will not join theirs
