Poet Introduction
A poetess? I shall leave that determination to others.
Lost Amongst The Trees
Remember how I've scolded you
when you've misbehaved.
and the words that I have used
for why that's childish ways.
Like a sprout along with many
growing in the woods
time expects you to mature
and stand as though you should
The love for others I've tried to teach
and pray that you have learned
are lost on some around the world
that's why they're not concerned
It is this lack of caring
that causes us to war
and until we...
when you've misbehaved.
and the words that I have used
for why that's childish ways.

Like a Beautiful Bouquet
a circle of friends should be picked
for the color of heart,
scent of words
not the hue of skin
nor stench of thoughts

Here...Take This!
Whether prompted or not
I give my advice wisely
so I have an excuse
for not heeding it myself

On The Hunt
they land hard
concrete and brambles
rings mean naught
when the knot's not honored
what catch's worth landing
if it continues to hunt

Ego as the Funambulist
Vanity assumes flattery
is directed toward it
as with accusations
Not "Giving A Shit" makes a fine balancing pole

Simply out of Hate
2,996 lives claimed in the U.S. on this day18 years ago
a drop in a seemingly bottomless bucket
if added to the number claimed around the world
before and since
and our tears shed because of it fills an ocean of misery
when will we learn
Oh God!
when will we learn
a drop in a seemingly bottomless bucket
if added to the number claimed around the world
before and since
and our tears shed because of it fills an ocean of misery
when will we learn
Oh God!
when will we learn

Is The Price Right?
Nothing comes without a cost
if something's gained
then something's lost
fortune, fame, and true love
there's payment due
for each above
If you've not bothered
with the math
its recommended
you take a pass.

Living On Credit
He rode into her life
nearly forty years ago
An eye for an eye
it is said
the debt yet unpaid
and seldom passes the day
when an interest only installment
is not made

Energy Conservation...day by day
Normally when tomorrow comes
I'm fixing what I did yesterday
So,
I'm not doing anything today

I wooden't do
what will be done
weren't it due
four bein' fun
//////////////////
I'm wondering
why this is: enough?
************
Why am I here?
No!
Not here.....
here
Was I ever there?
is there a there?
does the "t" really make much difference?
-------------------
At what point does short become long?

Entrenched
Standing stalwart
anchored in turbulent realm
bending yet unbreaking
sheltering with shadow
And though gazing skyward
migration holds little sway
for the heart knows more
than a wandering mind
And neither feel
the double edged sword
of joy and sorrow
anchored in turbulent realm
bending yet unbreaking
sheltering with shadow
And though gazing skyward
migration holds little sway
for the heart knows more
than a wandering mind
And neither feel

It's Been A Trip
Swimming in life's gravy
floating on his icing
