Poet Introduction
If I could explain, I would have... but then I would not need to write the poem... art happens... sometimes it comes easy, often not. I can't explain.

.. I feel the times
Between the lines...
Moments of Panic and Fear...
... Near
Despair...
Places of Wondrous Calm
...And-O-My-Fears...
...Of-Crocodile-Tears... *Jº

Oh!
It makes me sad,
you see...
The thought
of all that...
Villainy.

Obfuscation
Grinning gargoyles ornament
the doorway to my soul...
Past deceptions melt away
into the offering bowl...
A trip is what you make of it
a part... perhaps a whole...
Remember that my constancy
extends from Pole to Pole.
the doorway to my soul...
Past deceptions melt away

A trip is what you make of it

Camping Trip...alliteration
Sunlight sifts...
through the
leaves of
my trees...
and makes
pretty patterns...
on the
forest floor. *Jº

The Right Side of the Grass
Well, I done lost my grip...
and my skin don't fit...
My perky parts ain't perky any more.
Cain't find my keys
and now my knees
are evenin' the score...for
all the stupid things I done
when I was a young lass.
So don't just mope
'cause there's always hope
on the right side of the grass.
Every cliff I climbed
All the falls I took
as I bounced down the hill on my ass.. ...
and my skin don't fit...
My perky parts ain't perky any more.
Cain't find my keys
and now my knees
are evenin' the score...for
all the stupid things I done
when I was a young lass.
So don't just mope
'cause there's always hope
on the right side of the grass.
Every cliff I climbed
All the falls I took
as I bounced down the hill on my ass.. ...

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover...Limerick
There once was a laddie named Charming
with demeanor distinctly disarming...
But the boy was a lout...
preferring to pout
and make faces that
were quite alarming. *Jº

Limerick... Caught in the Headlights Again
Egotistical twit we'll call Trump
On T.V called the White House a dump.!
At his best, silly ass
is possessed of no class.
At his worst, makes twin moons with his rump.

Caca Vaca Bingo
**Three cows pooping***
There won't be no scooping...
You got to count the poops right where they lay.
So how do you make a Vaca caca in your square?
How do you make that cow plop in your plot?
I tell you my friend,
you just follow the the trend.
The more tickets you buy...
the harder she'll try
To drop her load on your part of the road.
***
So please heed the warning... and don't wait for morning
to buy the last tickets...
There won't be no scooping...
You got to count the poops right where they lay.
So how do you make a Vaca caca in your square?
How do you make that cow plop in your plot?
I tell you my friend,
you just follow the the trend.
The more tickets you buy...
the harder she'll try
To drop her load on your part of the road.
***
So please heed the warning... and don't wait for morning
to buy the last tickets...

Filthy Lucre
It all boils down to money in the end...
When you ask a kid what he want to be... when he grows up...
He says, "Rich!"
Couldn't you just cry?
What sorry fools taught him...
...that money can buy a satisfied soul?
When you ask a kid what he want to be... when he grows up...
He says, "Rich!"
Couldn't you just cry?
What sorry fools taught him...
...that money can buy a satisfied soul?

To All Evangelical Busybodys
Be it round... or be it flat
Say Hey...What does it matter?
You right-wing zealots all agreed
to preach only the latter...
From my Point-of-View
You're Religiously wrong
for shoving your creed
down the throats o' the throng.
That said... I would really prefer you consider
that a full-grow-adult
just might have a glimmer
of plain common sense...
Might know their own mind...
Stop peddlin' yer Dogmatic poop
be so kind...
as to mind your own business...
and keep out of mine.

Illusions
The worst thing about...
having your illusions destroyed?
***
Discovering they were illusions...
having your illusions destroyed?

Discovering they were illusions...
