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, […]
In All Its Lovely Raging
The ice cracks, breaks up and melts away Flowing southward from its place of birth Causing Earth to grow hot, angry each day As massive storms shout warning at earth What secrets have we found, have we lost Our ignorance has caused a stormy tirade Even now, do enough understand the cost In hubris cowering, […]
Until
I wander A house Known As if my own Wondering, pondering Past interactions Missed opportunities Arguments Confrontations Love Laughter Anger Sorrow Could have been Might have been Other than it was Other than A tragic dénouement A single Word Missed Cue Lost Feeling Reaction Action Blank look Angry glare Beady-eyed stare Chance mislaid Never noticed […]
Nothing Left to Give
Smart phones are a boon and a curse They unite, simultaneously isolate us Rooted deep into our days, our purse In oh so many ways they bankrupt us Tech rules, talking, staring at a screen Cut off from each as we communicate To the fly on my leg, it means nothing In caves, no-touch interaction […]

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 […]
What Do We Fear?
4 Questions Concerning the Fate of Humanity It is not a question of who we have been or even who we are now. It’s a question of who we become. More importantly, it’s whether we choose or whether we continue to embrace the pain and chaos we manifest and appear to revel in, in our […]
