POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A poetess? I shall leave that determination to others.
Heated Arguments
A war of words, where
bullets of beliefs are fired
at shadows of truths or
lies, accomplishing nothing of worth.

Belonging
One can possess another's heart,
but
only for the length of time it is offered freely.

Huxtable vs Cosby (winners & losers)
The values that Cliff Huxtable embodied were real, but the man who played him was a lie."
....Renee Graham
Bill Cosby, Al Franken, Bill Clinton, etc., etc. and the list is nearly endless. Are they guilty?
Today a jury found one of them so. Earlier the other two were found to be also, either by outright admission or by being backed into a corner, from where he could no longer find an escape, though he never admitted it.
Which brings me to the gist of this piece.
Perhaps you think they were the losers, but I feel we...

It's All In The Way One Looks At The Cards
Some may call a spade a spade,
but perhaps when one looks
from the other side of the card,
many times it is not as first seen,
but rather a heart,
burned and turned upside down,
with it's tail tucked between it's legs.

Ode To De' o-do-rant
Sweet the smell,
that well won't tell
the lack of bath
that I've not hath
nor shall I seek
although I reek
from top of head
to end of feet
I've not forgot
these feelings hot
musky odors
from several spots
while in my bed
ho's in my head
or on my knees
as do I please
but I'll not fret
that time's not yet
just look forward
to getting wet
I'll jump and run
when finally done
with dirty things
that are quite fun ...

The Ink Within Us
Some they write for they're dismayed,
they pen it down to help it fade
Some will write from beauty seen,
it's all around, to them, it seems
For some no more than a way to share,
so they dump it out and give it air
While others write to garner fame,
to add longevity to their name
No matter if in prose or rhyme,
the only difference, to them, is time.
But in the end, it matters not,
the many reasons for why we jot.
For all we wish of thoughts we spill, ...

An Eastwood Dilemma
Spied some baby kits today,
out in my neighbor's yard, at play.
Snuck off our porch, to behind a tree,
for a better place at which to be.
Turned around, twin fawns I see,
watching with curiosity.
Still as statues, three groups of us,
the fawns and I, and those cute pups.
Mexican Standoff, it reminded me,
The Good, the Bad, and the U-g-ly.
