Jesus in toga or tunic
Wrote notes that use symbols runic
But Trump Musk and Vance
Don loose yoga pants
To hide now each is a eunuch...

He was customarily of pristine attires dispossessed
In his eccentric shabby tunic dressed
People pondered why didn't he repudiate it 
For they cohabited and so declined to quit....

Not a snotty type but love classical music
It's soothing and extremely therapeutic
Though I'm not a snob
Mozart makes me throb
If you could see me now, I'm wearing a tunic...

Sure not a snotty type but love classical music
It's so soothing and extremely hypnotic 
Though not a snob
Mozart makes me throb
If you could see me now, I'm wearing a tunic...

I   C.  U as a
Intensive Care Unit
So toxic so tunic

U. C  me friendly
Me sees U. AS
The 21st letter in the alphabet

The last letter"Z"
U me see
C  U me
I. C. U?

Crawling along the ground upon all fours
his open wounds matching his tunic red,
alone with no rescue out on the moors
the only shelter low stone wall ahead.
Then one by one their silhouettes appeared,
silently along the mossy lime,
they'd overtaken him as he had feared- 
the skulk of foxes sat, biding their time..........

Why was I a puppet?
For my parents views, 
For their animosity,
To my teachers’ dues. 

They even exposed hatred, 
To the Jews cultural, 
Not with understanding, 
Of things traditional. 

They asked me if I wished to, 
Sing secular songs in music, 
Along with the class, 
‘Cos I would wear a different tunic.

But I just went quiet, 
And didn’t really answer, 
Because singing was just that best, 
And made me into a prancer....

Cardinal aristocat strode into the priest’s hall
No one uttered a sound, they were stunned after all
He had never looked this fit, this fine, this brave or tall
His regular plain monk’s tunic had made him feel small.

So, you decided to join us after all, said the priest’s cat
She was a mean beast, a hisser, a scratcher, and fat
Cardinal aristocat ignored her as if she were a mouse or gnat
He had come to show off his ensemble and his new hat....

During the frigid night
Hoarfrost has embraced her branches
As a tight fitting tunic,
Tailor made, just for her.

Night wind's chafing bite
Has long since given way to crisp morning air,
And snow has lengthened into fog,
Past where aqueous eyes can take in.

Facing east, car's window rolled down,
A broken barb wire fence, this tree,
And a subtle hint of promise,
Where a rising sun will soon be.

This tree sat alone in a large pasture and was a sight to behold....

~Homeless~

A lost guardian angel, sitting on the edge of everything 
I push my shopping cart along the cracks of destiny  
My house sits on the corner of every mission street
My tin coffee cup feeds on caring heartbeats
My possession is the icon of war, six missing buttons
Navy and white my grandfathers 70-yr-old military tunic.

My Jacket-  My blanket
My Jacket from which I am inseparable
My Jacket - represents the mobility of life

This Jacket is my home....

The tree
That “Britches” Sees

During the frigid night
Hoarfrost has embraced her branches
As a tight fitting tunic, 
Tailor made, just for her.

Night Wind’s chaffing bite 
Has long since given way to crisp morning air,
And snow has lengthened into fog, 
Past where aqueous eyes can take in;

Facing east, car’s window rolled down,
 A broken barb wire fence, this tree,
And a subtle hint of promise, 
Where a rising sun will soon be;
