Suits Poems

Easter Sunday 1959
We were sparklingly modern
Petticoats flounced down the sidewalk
Boys wearing dark suits with clip on ties

Brother was reluctant
My cousin and I were delighted
Loving our new Easter bonnets and gloves
Lacy white anklets decorated our shoes

We felt pretty, and we were
We...Read More

Making a decision
A step forward

Saying yes or no
Weighing the pros and cons

Knowing the best
What it suits me

Being clear
Of the sacrifices and adjustment
In order to be there

Voices of opinions
Around you 
In your ears

Sometimes overwhelming
Away from your conscious
What your heart really wants

The...Read More

There once was a General who had an investment in the swamp 
He had many ways of getting what he wants 
Including making things great again when he stomps 
While in the marsh land 
The General had to make a...Read More

Truth Matters

Deplorable. 
That is what I am. 
That is okay with me. 
I work hard, 
Have a family. 
I support my wife, 
and my own kids. 
I even adopted a couple…

I am made to pay. 
I am made to do...Read More

We came clad in white suits, 
With crocodile skin made boots 
Alongside a funky dressed lady each, 
For bravery during the time of speech. 
To make us happy couples of four. 
They weren't our wives, wives what for? 
Tom just...Read More

Your nose looks like it’s avoiding the smell coming up from your toes, you stick it in my business assume half the show and there you go ranting in an unctuous fashion slideshow of passion as you start thrashing a...Read More

As I journeyed along the countryside on a makeshift road off the main highway, I came upon two elderly gentlemen sitting together at a fork of that road. I introduced myself to Jack Cave and John Mine whose names befitted...Read More

Entombed in apartments
Vanished behind our surgeon masks, eyes darting
Fidgeting for meaning
Pacing living rooms
Like Flintstone reruns trapped on ME TV

While in the cobblestone valley of downtown
Below
Powdered ballerinas of steam
Spin
From vents in the streets
Twirling ghosts to the music of wind

Window shopping on...Read More

Don't clog,read this blog
Careful with the pipes
Don't stop up the toilets,
Cause aint no plumber coming'',
That bad tooth, that hurts to the root,
News flash, ‘ain't no dentist open'.
Separate your garbage,
Garbage man aint doing extra,
No has mask suits or gas mask,
They aint...Read More

BFN JHD  gangster or celebrity
Side of the ride Having fun
Q the smoking Tommy gun 
Slick suits and boots wide brimmed hats
Banks go down around these cats 
No fear of law no fear at all
Do what they want until they...Read More

Solitary sun in sapphire skies,
beams its rays upon Earth's radiance.
A tepid breeze flows between
daffodils and bluebells, gently rocking.

Spring is in the air,
yet streets remain silent.
Masked men in green suits,
bearing arms, patrol -
perturbed by unsought peace.

Anticipating unauthorised motions,
they wander past eerie...Read More

Life is just fine
  We leisurely dine
No rushing, no worry
  Why should we hurry

No trains to catch
  No meetings to make
We can get up late
  Even bake a cake

With skype and zoom
  No room for...Read More

Marriage is a state of the heart and mind and not a slip of paper that’s inanimate and blind.

On this earth there are many who’d proclaim that on behalf of the almighty your sinful living is viewed with shame.

In action...Read More

I think you're full of . Selfish big style men in suits.
The games you play ing suck. You're bloody amateurs. 
Underground sex and getting it on. Are you for real?
Next time invite me. Or else it's jiving devil time at...Read More

Flash of light enormous, pass through the sky
Pilgrims to different sites in accord with season’s cry 
Exactly on the same flyway for ages they fly;
Bar-headed Geese in flight dwell in sky infinite
They live in central Asian coldest lakes in summer...Read More

I was born in 1937 I'm nearly 83
I would still like the chance
For someone to dance with me
I put the radio on and sway around the room
Sometimes with my husband
But mostly with the broom
In the fifties when I was in...Read More

The Conference in Davos

Davos, men in classy suits, speak fluently
about the ills of the world-
They tell Greta she has to study economic
and coal will be phased out but slowly.

The young wonder why should they study
to get an excellent job in...Read More

you ... are the paramour of right angles
the square of a square - complete, quite aware
how two must adore you
for all it sees is itself, reflected
an angular fist - quite the narcissist
and the first number, sublime, that is NOT a...Read More

Garage sales are fun but estate sales are even better
I love looking through other people’s incredible stuff
It is a great way to find that kooky Christmas sweater
To find red petticoats and turquoise jewelry for a cuff.

An album full of photos...Read More

The Martians arrived in their blue suits,
large heads with bulging black eyes,
jumping out of their flying saucer
into my fenced and landscaped yard,
Lucy the St. Bernard was not on guard.

Shaking themselves they did a dance,
before my eyes as Lucy was snoring,
All...Read More

I make a perfect dry martini,
I read and write and speak Français,
All my suits, and shirts, and shoes are custom made.
I own a Porsche and Maserati,
A house on Acapulco Bay
With scores of floors of marble tile that's all inlaid.

I have...Read More

The old soviet-union 

It must have been winter when the old tank skip
Sailed through the Dardanelles into the Black sea
Which was full of ice flakes.

The ship was loading oil in a town I have forgotten
The name of, but I do...Read More

There once was a salesman from Nice
Who soaked all his new suits in grease.
He would slide through town
With nary a frown,
Til someone would call the police....Read More

the number falling before three and preceding five
sacred in my culture to ground us to the nature of all things
the time of life when 'being' develops
and connects mind, body and spirit with life 
the need for sanctuary, meditation, strength, being...Read More

On the Red Carpet and Beyond

They want a red carpet theme for their school leavers' ball. This is my didactic rendering.


Today you are stars and the red carpet is spread
Rolled out for you to, with cool class, tread
For in this...Read More
