In This Farewell

I am not stunning silent as mountain stone
Not standing I am as the latent source of salty tears
"You’re going away"- knowing this
in this adieu moment
I’m reminiscing in the grove of sportive mind you-
You were mine, 
You are mine,
You will be mine forever

Another One

all gazing there up,
't was time to drop.
the cloud shift'd beautifully.
excit'd by the show,
our boys did ignore
the lazy lark wittingly.

while larks larked festive,
Ben waxed real sportive,
n'saw no trees shaking nearby.
a vulture schemed wise,
afloat their reverse,
the Choco won a goodbye.

Premium Member Truncated Sonnet: ''The Good Earth''

The fierce, supple tiger
     (an untamed, deadly beast)
is not meant as dinner,
     for someone's sportive feast.
The giant, harmless whale
     (a great, ocean mammal)
won't survive or prevail
     against reaving people.
All Earth's feral creatures,
     of land, sky, and the sea,
are here as our teachers
     and life's diversity.
Redeem man's threatened worth;
and preserve the good Earth!

Richard III Revisited

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
could never get a date with Stevie Nicks.
ICE agents are detectives (yes, they’re dicks!)
They murder citizens to get their kicks:
their bedroom windows shuttered-up with bricks.
Don’t even get me started on Hope Hicks!
Enough, ye noble folk, of politics.
Vacation thoughts – the River of the Styx,
which brings forgetfulness, among my picks –
to let my worries lie, submerged, deep six.
