Premium Member a tempest for the almanac
The evening stars were gone, replaced by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud. When the wind rose, in sudden violent crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion. White cabanas shook, like staked swans flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines creaked and writhed like tethered balloons. Lightning lit the winding, stony stairs, like ornamental neon lights,...

Premium Member Tea Time
In the morning's tender light, a whisper soft, A wake-up call, as dawn's embrace aloft. A kettle hums, a ritual, time to unwind, Strong ginger tea, with milk entwined. The aroma, a symphony of morning grace, Resistless allure, filling up the space. Awakening senses, a dance on the tongue, Morning tea, where new stories are begun. As shadows lengthen, and the day unwinds, Evening...

Laborer's Ode I - Asphalt Pavers
Boy gets up at six Needs no alarm of complaint To shake The brief night of sleep From his hay-cropped hair Brushes his teeth Smokes a two dollar holler of cigarette for breakfast A pack a day is like tax day for him Paid by ten in the morning Then the day is free and clear Holds down his car as it bucks to life Lurches...

The Injured, Desolate Jericho
Where silhouetted sentinels silently stand in vain bleeding shades of layered shame on blight-lined highways below, their ghostly shadows remind us of dreams we dared to drain. Interred on unkempt plots, crumbling brick carcasses maintain evidence we’re forced to see if the trails of traffic slow where silhouetted sentinels silently stand in vain. ...

Unions Cross
A twist of fate with slashing blade In this my heart's deep gash... Watching her from across the way Making love, to another girl; passion Then ripped these dreams apart Their beauty as hers, melting amid Scorching flames she cried I wept While cold the blood, did turn red... Marble marked but now its gone; tears Wiped away this love; aside a flower bed....

The Unions : One For All and All For One
before labor unions came into existence businesses were run like monarchies where those in positions of power treated the workers atrociously no sick days, no overtime, no vactions and no minimum wage and some work place conditions were worse than an animal's cage but throught the grace of God and American ingenuity the laborers joined together and the unions came...

Unions of Love
I've longed for a man to have and to hold, To love me forever, being brave and bold. Someone to cherish and stay by my side, With this man truly I'll always abide. I've longed for a woman, tender and wise, Who doesn't hold secrets in the depths of her eyes. Someone whose word is always true, With this woman happiness will...
