Self Portrait Recollections and Reflections continued… Being kicked off the highway a dozen in San Antoine can’t compare To a truckload full of rednecks who decide they want to cut your air The second car stopped for me and once inside I breathed a glad sigh All the way to L.A., then further North, I […]

Self Portrait Recollections and Reflections When I was a young boy, I larked about, didn’t have a care I think because I wasn’t self-reflective, somewhat unaware I lived then within the moment, I’m not sure when I stopped No thoughts of fate or destiny, just adventures to be topped Maybe my awareness shifted in a […]
The First Night
A little white chapel on a neighborhood street Stands in a small California city, quite complete History adorns it from its whitewash to its style Those who remember most have a ghostly smile As eyes close or turn inward while they recollect No one who’s now alive remembers every aspect Early days tell that […]
Crusade to End Public Torture
More certain and more frightening than death and taxes More pervasive, deadly and inevitable than a pandemic It will drive you buttier than a batterfly, watch the nets Wag your finger, shake your fist, hang your head and cry The presentation may be good, but you’ve seen it all before If you ever liked […]
Read All Over
Black and white and red A cat bats a pipe cleaner Young, old, shapes, colors Food and drink, laughter Thought, winding up and Winding down, voices Rising over, falling under Art, barely-heard music, Community and creation City views, sculpture, time Reminders of travel, place Eiffel Tower Lego, distance Interactions of youth similar And different […]
Jonas Jonathon Barnstable-Bailey

Governments’ Fear
Strange, disturbing and unnatural, the sight I witnessed earlier today Two people, women, sitting outside, talking in the old-fashioned way No phones, smart or dumb, no tablets, no pads, no games, no e-readers, Could I detect anywhere. Should I go and warn our fear-filled leaders? Anyone not plugged in twenty hours per day might […]

The Giftie Gie Us
How then cannot we see our own true selves The poet’s answer realized in our social media Where we act half fools, do naught by halves Constantly connected, from Twitter to Expedia Do we ever look in this mirror that we created Join we this grand communion, or voyeurs only And judging others foibles […]
Love to Spare
In this time of rejoicing greatly Pomp and circumstance stately We see that the days grow longer Power of sun and hope stronger Sing, praise Earth of subtle virtue Air, sea,wind, rain, seasons, dirt, too Despite your beliefs, what you know Here’s time to let old hurts, hates, go A new sun year’s begun, next […]
