Canaetto's nephew was Bernardo Belotto
Venice famiy problems made him go
He became painter in Warsaw
his single perspective was major flaw
If the first casualty of war
is truth
The next casualty of war
is peace
The third casualty of war
is life
Until the last casualty of war…
hope
(Warsaw: March, 2022)
Deep in the fountain
of life’s betrayal
My knife drank freely,
a last denial
With screams unanswered,
he tried to run
The first of many
—from Odessa’s son
(Warsaw: March, 2022)
There once was a dumb blonde from Warsaw
She was the dumbest I ever saw.
She was bound for Krakow
But wound up in Moscow
Holding a kielbasa in each paw.
Who says a limerick has to be Irish?
Warsaw, Moscow
cities in Indiana
Pekin, Paris
towns in Illinois
All four northwest
of the Iroquois...
Don't ask me why I wrote this
Ask me instead for a kiss
camped out behind
the baltic sea
the making of me
washes up apon
blood soaked stones
of cunning tides
behind the vacant
graves apon our
burial ground
silence abode
all movement
abroad
written Mrs. Yolanda Joy Nicholsen
A Pole Dancer in need of a pole
Believed Warsaw might help meet her goal
When her legs were split
She found some might fit
Just as long as they stayed in the hole

Locked behind the doors of my heart,
good wishes sleep unsaid
Whose key I’ve lost and yet to find
…this lonely empty bed
With dreams undreamt and vacant nights,
the hours linger on
All hopes and tidings unfulfilled
—and feelings all but gone
(Warsaw: March, 2022)
Buried in the sand of ill regret,
a rifle washes free
Remembrance of a time when darkness coiled,
a snake of Russian greed
Its chambers empty, sights removed,
it could not, would not, fire
Perdition’s tide reclaiming fast
—its shame into the mire
(Warsaw: March, 2022)
There once was a man from Warsaw
Whose appearance was terribly flawed
A contorted face
His body a disgrace
People looking at him would guffaw
The wife of the man from Warsaw
Was positively perfect as I recall
Pretty as can be
Built quite flawlessly
The oddest couple that you ever saw
I snowed love
In Moscow
I showed love
In Warsaw
I kissed love
In Paris
I romanced love
In Rome
I showered love
In London
I lived love
In Sweden
I sited love
In Dubai
I tasted love
In Mumbai
I burnt love
In Jamaica
I fell in love
In Africa
meanness
cruel actions
human history
this being our legacy
before being submerged in our own heart-waste
what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor, Buchenwald
Dachau, Belzec, Chelmno, Warsaw, Mauthausen, Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen?
No more war.
Innocent people forced
Into an inhumane Ghetto
While being Jewish
Admiration for the fighters
In the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
-------------------------------------------------
Unschuldige Menschen
Gezwungen in ein unmenschliches Ghetto
Nur weil sie Juden waren
Hochachtung für die Kämpfer
Im Warschauer Ghettoaufstand
Herded humans
Sweltering trains
Dead cargo
Suffering remains
Gunshot glory
Spurting spite
Guarded genocide
Barbwire lights
Warsaw widows
Stripped of food
Numbered days
Ribs that protrude
Anesthetized surgeons
Screaming knife
Smoldering smokestacks
Vacating life
Conveyor belt corpses
Rolling into ravines
Six million taken
Will no one intervene
Death twisted history,
guilts conferee
the liar unmasked
revenge by decree
His legions unfurling,
their flag through the smoke
the volunteers hailing,
preserving all hope
With dark days upon them,
no fear to be found
the women, the children,
in place underground
Around every corner,
behind every door
their liberty sacred,
today—evermore
(Warsaw: March, 2022)
There once was a dumb blonde from Warsaw
'twas the dumbest blonde I ever saw.
She was bound for Krakow
but wound up in Moscow
holding a kielbasa in each paw.
This dumb blonde headed back to Warsaw
without kielbasa in either paw.
Under a chair beneath
she had lost her false teeth
and had to eat sausage through a straw.

An Indonesian flag is a Polish flag upside down.
The capital of Jakarta is a long way from Warsaw town.
On the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo,
sauerkraut and kielbasa is something they don’t know.
Has the average Indonesian ever heard of Thaddeus Kosciusko?
Does anybody know a good Indonesian joke?
People tell Polish jokes until they choke.
There is little to compare between these two countries.
Poland and Indonesia bear very few similarities.
A burgeoning yearning is what I have seen start.
This fair-skinned blonde has gone straight to my heart.
She is one of the sweetest women I ever saw.
Chances are, her ancestors came from Warsaw.
Yes, this attractive doll has caught my eye.
I found out her last name ends with “S-K-I”
I want to get to know this female who appears nice.
Perhaps “Co Slychac?” would be good to break the ice.
“Co Slychac” (pronounced “So-sweehatch”) means “How are you?” in Polish.
