The Infernal Serpent
coiled ’round the soul of man
strangles the love and understanding
imbued by the Creator 
supplanting it with hatred and distrust.

The result

Listen to poem:

Male bees are useless layabouts
Gather no nectar or pollen
Can't feed themselves
Have no stingers
Yet World War III
Will be fought with a swarm
Of a billion, billion drones
Some made of cardboard
Mind how the malingers
Have risen, supplanting
Planes, ships, tanks, missiles and subs...

SIBILANT SESSION

Struggling in simple silence
Sudden static sounds survive
Supplanting a sort of serenity
Serving to satisfy the several
Sulking in sole secluded state
Seriously spiteful in severance
Still seething, seeing something
Senses stealing any sensitivity
Stopping a shiny silver smile
Sending signals to slowly sink
Submerged in silent salty seas
Sibilant souls sadly surrender...

What was celebration years ago
people's hearts were to their birth
I walked and plagued my mind
west was born as an after thought
supplanting all others
to pleasant lands we betrothed
the winds came gently
october sneered in a umpirish manner
friends flaked the golden daffodils
refugees shorn of rights
to the dim lands
shorn to the apology of the east
now we are alone
nothing to think

Sequestered from mundane oration
Until this spell from Earth’s rotation
Meanders from my frozen gaze.
Melting clouds in pastel plush,
Evanescent waning rays,
Recant my vision’s wanderlust.

Slivered shards of ruby hues,
Unflinching wisps of reddish blues,
Nuanced haze in wafting threads,
Supplanting twilight’s blushing gray.
Eventually dusk’s blanket spreads;
The trance is broke – I look away.
