Old Heroes
...They walk in tired circles
paved down into vined-up sandstone
clawing at the humidity
fighting the ghost of evil
that haunts the world today
but nobody believes them

vined plants killed granny
...Her vined plants strangled her in her sleep
We knew it might happen, she sleeps so deep

Wynorrific Eve
...Upon the rustic walls,
Laid a shadow, shadow too dry.
In the trees beyond, laid the carnelian of fall;
And I stroll away, into the vestige foliage ply.
In my little cabin,
many boring days had...

A Hard Rain Fell
...A hard rain fell over town last night
Beating down the crops in the field,
Disparaging still the farmer’s plight
A hard rain fell over town last night.
My flower bed is a depressing sight

Take me out to the ball game
Of balls and strikes - bloopers and perfect games;
Basket catches, ERA’S, country hardball;
Foul balls, the pick off, intentiona...

Greens and Oranges of the Seventies
...The psychedelic oranges and greens of the seventies
Brought scads of foils and flocks into homes that had been
Saturated before with flowered, and vined wall papers.

Nestling smugly twixt pepper and salt
The adjective cellar begins its assault
When carelessly picked by some epicure
Who sadly considers himself connoisseur
Once the poo...

serenading sirens
of retreat, as chartreuse digits
creep dark alley swamps;
hanging jungle themes invade
quiet dens perpetuated by

of a graveyard with vined-up gates
As two lovers, they stand and wait,
to bring others to their fate
His domination, chained by his side,
yearning to unleash w...

vined by years of growth
like memories collected in my head
nestled in the woods
away from civilization
a world all my own
one with itself
a yearning to be free
wanting to be al...

is wide and spacious
but overgrown with vined flowers.
If you are inattentive and preoccupied,
you would miss it
and pass the entry way
that eases on the step stones to the pond.

is a woman abandoned
Grass growing unruly
her hair untidy
Petals dried out
manicure urgently needed
Dry stems and twigs
chapped lips and dry skin
Weed...
