‘Tis not for the ninety and nine He goes On a dangerous midnight search. ’Tis not for the ninety and nine who sit In security safe in the church, Whose paths are set in the well-fenced bounds Of conventional Sunday suits, While the songs of their souls sound dreadfully cold To the biker in leathers and boots. ‘Tis not for the ninety and...

An Unconventional Marriage
Jan and Nan were not just twins but best friends, so when Stan got down on one knee, he got not one, but two, to say “I do.” Some thought him blessed; some found it strange, but Stan thought he got a good deal: two for the price of one. Til the day Ole Stan made one wife cry and met...

An Unconventional Valentine
Let me contrast you with a rose in bloom Whose unfurled buds exude a sweet perfume. Eternal token of romantic zeal On lease from heaven with a loving seal. You, in comparison, with beard untrimmed, Complexion florid and your vision dimmed, Have no external beauty to extol; Possession of long life must take its toll. Not always temperate your moods break through And like...

Unconventional
Unconventional is how we first met, Unconventional is what we are. Walls were surrounding me, yet You still tried to crash them. Brute force was your might, While quiet reserve was mine, For some reason I was in your sight, You resolved to make me yours. Unconventional was what you tried, Unconventional was just our way. Unconventional meant having to bide Your beastly modus operandi. Unconventional meant...

Unconventional Warfare
A convention of unconventional warfare It’s the Olympics of BS, the mind boggles Unrelenting coverage; I try not to stare Through my thick, round minion goggles Slogans chanted numbly trump reality Still, there are three sides to every story Windmills fall; eclipse goes to totality Attention shoppers, Kool-Aid spill on aisle three I’m trying to grasp, the mindset eludes That would make you cheer...

Unconventional Lovers
Pillows and blankets Shaped in a 'V', Bottles and pills In a wrapper-filled sea. Drool on our faces Clothes on the ceiling. These are the nights My heart is healing. My head on your feet Your toes in my hair, A repulsive aroma Sweetens the air. It's the puddle of glop Is that yours or mine? It doesn't matter We'll both decline. Though we both know it's yours You somehow persuade, And I...

Unconventional Bride
From a distance, she sees the groom in sweat; moist with tears, his lips tremble. At the pace of voices, she marches; line of gazes: her path. The contrast of white against red; petals are swept by her trail. Behind the lace she gets a glimpse of tomorrow and yesterday. She kisses her mother, who smiles; as well as her father, who cries. Then she reaches the arms of the man: august in...
