Elsie was a registered nurse
Who'd never dare utter a curse
She'd say 'My life is a blessing
Don't wanna be messing
With those words, would just make it worse'
One day, while she was working, a crook
Broke into her... [read more] |

Politicians are our voice,
we elected them because
we believed they heard
and understood our cri de
coeur, our impassioned
pleas from the heart. It
usually comes at us in

I woke up tired
but tired was still survivable.
The kind that sits behind my eyes
begs the clock for five more minutes.
I didn't know before the day was over
I'd learn there are heavier things than exhaustion.
you started my day as the man I love... [read more] |

“an unhurried hour”
The shadow stalls upon the sundial stone,
and afternoon spills sideways, unowned.
Blessed be this midsummer air,
where the cicada’s pulse replaces hurry,
asking nothing of the hands or mind.
The grass grows tall... [read more] |

“despicable dilemma”
I tried to de-spice the day,
shake off its paprika swagger,
but it clung like a bargain-bin rub
insisting it was gourmet.

I feel night’s breath as she sighs to the trees,
hear the leaves slowly waltzing in dance,
the moon kissing stars with the softest of glow,
evening songbirds whisper their romance.

The Bravura Of One's Imperial Ego
I am probably drowning
in my loneliness
because I misjudged
the setting sun
how this small world
of mine is still unaware of
the anthesis and the
underlying influence
like footsteps without... [read more] |

Enough Already
Enough of Pollock spilling paint
Serendipity of killing fields and
Usurpation of A.I hijacking truth
Unreachable horizons of promise
And worlds laid barren, skies the
Limit debt and the perspicuity of
Jaundiced eyes scanning your... [read more] |
Teytonon posted a new Poem titled It’s a tight fit, just to start 2 weeks ago
I was thinking about the miracle of birth
Thought I'd throw in my two cents worth
A newborn will arrive
Helpless but alive
How that occurs is to me, the most amazing thing on Earth
The newborn must be anxious to get out,... [read more] |

There once was a young man from Dallas
Who never showed anyone any malice
That was put to the test
When he was placed under arrest
Accused of being in public exposing his phallus
A young lady whose name was Alice
Told police the young... [read more] |

"on the cold hearth"
The lathe turns cold.
A mountain of ash
where the summit stood,
and every stroke of the gouge
a quiet bereavement.
A Refraction on the Cold Hearth

This time may be sweet and filled with romance
Heartache and divorce later you must beware of
Eternal bliss for the two of you not promised
Watch out for those and that which would gladly tear you apart
Eager to wed maybe be not so hasty
