Outer Circles

A fallow tree stump
ritualized by the empty
Bath of Salvation
creeping painfully as if
thrown by the wayside
The retort of schoolchildren
smoothed by the evenness
of taken innocence
Arisen from a fruitless slumber
Clamoring for the germane
but destined to be wholly
irrelevant

Premium Member Evening Bells Chime

Evening bells chime in the steeple
  Merry villagers doff their workday masks
Like schoolchildren, not yet grown-up people
  Untethered from their joyless tasks  


One's a druggist; another a clerk
  All count the minutes 'til five 
Matters not where they work
  The hour of freedom's arrived

De Vose Dilemma

George Washington could not tell a lie
"Honest Abe" was too honest to die
Donald Trump ad-libs
Incredible fibs
Leaving schoolchildren to wonder why 

Our POTUS is really a jerk
His tweets are a childish smug smirk
To Trump's lasting shame
His management's lame
Its teamwork that makes the team work!
