Nature of Poetry

poetry is a tale told  
like a spinning top
musing its point

those men of conscience
of whom where great
we rare give tribute
till them be late

The Smoking Bandit

hacked from earthly dust
as wrought by unwary same,
the smoking bandit rises
to stake its deadly claims.

as history bears us notice
for peace is what it tells,
the smoking bandits beguiling 
its heart be set in hell.

the smoking bandits theft be swift
its booty paid in death,
but no one in the land dare speak,
just stare with laden breath.

blood and war on mangled boors
the smoking bandit spews,
and reaps reward for all the more,
its victims whom ill knew

forever then let us lay smoking bandit
to rest; begone like setting sun.
and pry away its mask from face-
to see a smoking gun!

We Winters

fret not great ones 
the clouds are for our sake
we will  again clear sight
at the vanquish of night
when  we wistful  winter wake    

have than noble dreams
for time holds but well fate
and there shall be here
at the merge from the pair
when we  wistful  winters wake

then till  summer comes
shun not we our winters break
for both have a place
in the fabric of space
while we wistful  winters wake 

for both have a place
in the fabric of space
as we  wistful  winters wake

Greed

blip pa de dip pa de - bop
the pig roots in the slop 
 the slop got worse
the pigs in a hearse
 he didn't know when to stop!

Procrastination

Once I earned an effort not made.
I locked it in my secret vault;
and forever there it lay.
