I have been writing poetry since childhood. Somewhat prolific although not many of my poems have been preserved. I only write when inspired.

Still Life

Trees swaying in the dark
Illumined by the full moon and stars.
Local color, background noises,
Music mixed with discordant voices.
Festivities coming to a close.
Images, sounds, fading in, fading out.
Daylight covets midnight’s doze
A cat’s...

Our Sacred Cows Are Showing

We are not safe in the unknowing.
And it is snowing, snowing, snowing.
Gold, diamonds, platinum, grain
Whatever, just let it rain.
Lucre, lucre, and lucre again
Is our mantra’s tireless refrain.
But, it is snowing, snowing, snowing.

Sardines swimming in a can of olive oil?
Question: “Something is fishy, is it not?
Was being fired and shown one’s life
Is not inviolate part of the Master Plan?
Moribund silence affirming
This state of...

Yin Yang V

Mother Nature doesn’t know
What’s what. Surely she’s some kind of nut.
To make a man a woman
And a woman a man.
So let us Homo sapiens
Give her a helping-hand.
Begosh and begorra,
Of what use is modern science
If it’s not gonna be
The right sex...

Yin Yang IV

And I am my brother’s brother
If I so choose.
I will wear men’s garments
And men’s shoes.
Wherefore free will
If it fails to grant
The right to call
Round, square; straight, slant?
I am a rhinoceros
If I say so
There’s only one
Who’d dare say no....

I really like this poem, it gives me hope and a sense that hope is so much more than that.

My favorite line in this poem is, “Where total liberation from this stranger drinking life out of many lives will come.” It is so beautiful, so poetic, screams pathos because drinking implies living. I love the irony in it’s well.

This incident happened today and I was inspired to write a poem about it because I was so miffed that I had spilled some of it.
