Waiting Again
Waiting again So much time Spent waiting Inundated, inundating Conditioned response Absolutely predictable As expected Reflected, reflecting Drab brown walls Life stalls In an office Anywhere Waiting room False cheer Of coffee Coffee houses Where we wait Where we wait for, on Ex-, current-, future Spouses Others Significant Or otherwise So much So much more […]
Hark
Hark, there has been yet another mass shooting And for me, at least, such news is growing so old Headlines all become just me-too dull and boring And I’d think us better off if we were never told This wild-west shoot-em-up now commonplace And it blurs together, so oft echoed, a daily cant So numbed […]
Now
Wherever humans have been, there has been war In this instant there is time to change how we are Wherever humans have been, there has been peace In this instant there is time to let all conflict cease Wherever humans have been, we ward community In this instant there is time to know all must […]

Conspiracy Theory?
Lately I’ve noticed that many people are smitten Over the moon, quite mad for a puppy or a kitten No slow turtle for them or a bowl full of guppies An internetful of video about kittens and puppies I’m very worried that I may have missed my mark With vivid writing and art whose message […]

Show and Tell
When I was young, in grade school, we had show and tell I imagine this is still the case, though I don’t know for sure Some students found this exciting, usually did it quite well For others just a daunting task, which felt a lot like torture Perhaps they were the ones teased and taunted, […]
Puzzle Pieces
Where will I need to go If I do not find you Who will I become If you do not find me Will I be able to hear you If I never learn to listen I know you, no matter where I will still, always love you I will explore so deep within My own […]
