and tree trunks have begun...

On The Verge
Beady eye, horse riding dictator
Replacing peace with violence
Using conventional weapons against
A sovereign, democratic nation
His wanderlust and ideologic hatred
Remain unabated
Now beginning to see non-edible mushrooms
Rising in the sky
On the verge of world war
Inevitable...

A Poet For All SeasonsI am not the perfect poet,
you and I both know it,
though surely we could share,
our time with rhyme and reason,
springtime, snowdrop, couplets,
summer days of sunshine sonnets,
autumnal skies of falling paper leaves,

Winter Is UndoneSee Winter dripping off the trees.
It, finally, is past.
And here we are, down on our knees.
Thank God it didn’t last!
The morning sun creeps o’er the hill.
There’s not a cloud in sight.
Of snow, we’ve had more...
