By Your Choices
I grasp at my time, my life, my being Like the blind men and the elephant What I perceive not what I’m seeing It may be my fire’s only on my pants Chasing after truth by concocting lies Mystic brews that obscure and reveal All my victories, failures and my tries Perchance to illuminate or […]
At Risk
At the risk that I repeat I am not feeling replete By cars upon my street I know I’m not an elite Fearing I only baa, bleat As my hours vanish fleet Till I’m but merely meat And lying ‘neath the peat For life’s rarely ever neat It’s messy and indiscreet Sun, rain, snow and […]
Hoping to Receive
Sitting at a store counter waiting A new, nonworking fountain pen Hold head down, no flow grating So grab another pen, begin again As I write, I watch the busy world Coffee kiosk, fuzzy socks, balloons Ads, short, tall, and flags unfurled Acres of pretenders singing tunes Ghosts, goblins on All Hallows Eve Robot, ghoul, […]
Nothing Doing
We are taught we should know aught That means we ought to study naught No, that is truth, or so I have thought But I don’t believe it’s what we sought I’ve thought it cannot do what it ought Since aught + naught = naught – aught

A Matter of Heart
People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. The confusion in this world is that things are being loved and people are being used. Unknown – At least I couldn’t find any attribution I am sick unto death of describing how screwed up our world has become. Earth, our home, […]
Happy Trails to You
I look around and wonder what each of us sees Where I sit, it’s cliché, the forest from the trees I’m, like, listening to, like, voices impressed, like Never mind, I think I will go out for a long hike We mistake politicians for leaders, know they lie Kill, discredit true leaders, but do we […]
The Story
I will not by my life be floored When I may take it on the chin Stagger till my balance restored Stand up straight and tall again Wait, could it be that I am lost Upright, walking a wrong trail Perhaps not wrong, what a cost Timid, will I succeed, will I fail But all […]
All Your Wending Way
As the best laid plans life often changes Nothing bad or good, simply life’s tune It draws some people close or estranges No difference betwixt too late, too soon Neither will fit exactly right, so it seems While one offers visions and one echoes Driven by your conscious hopes, dreams Be aware, it may open […]
