Failing to see the light.
Fooling only myself.

20070830-Old Farts
Flush out the cooties; lewd acts for booties
Blow out the boogers; sexual poopers
Predators display; dirty old men gayVile baddies affair; congressional lair
Shaytanic obsessed; senators possessed
American’s blood; presidential mudFlaming the vile moles; political holes
Bringing public shame and the blaming game
Fined with guilty plea. Resign unto me!Another dark, political poem (of nine lines with ten syllables and internal rhymes) regarding the recent news about Senator Larry Craig of Idaho. There are many more horror stories similar to this one that goes unnoticed by the media.

20070626-Work Unfinished
Looking for unethical ways?
Truthful tell by working hard plays
Noisy words of ‘do or dare’ mazeScrying well like crystal ball gaze

Tasty roar of lioness glazeTwo ‘lip-smacking’ poems of three-lined stanzas with eight syllables in monorhyme.

20070621-Tiny One
Hi! Small baby fly
Buzzing my head like a spy
Are you an ally?A very tiny poem in free-verse.
Author’s note: The little booger was looking at me from my computer monitor and buzzing around near the vanity mirror later on that evening.

20070505-Bye Budgie
Bye bye budge of big tummy
Around noontime of screaming pain
Silence of white paper towel shroud‘Paw’ digs soil one feet deep
Yellow leather glove
Green spade shovelUnder the sun out back
Prayers saying, winds blowing
Tears flowings, camera takingFor-give my death thoughts unending
Into re-incarnation or bird heaven
Take with you our thanks for being here
awhile…A tearful poem in free-verse.

20070419-Daily Diary
20070419:
Long whales clouds of purple, blue and gray
Marching together by west side bay
Bell and saucer shape with bluish sayClustering clouds form mountainous scene
Stretching above the east side hills green
After a gray morn to us unseen20070418:
White fluffiness for the past few days
Puff, fluffy clouds with gray sleepy maze
Lightest blue skies with some sunshine raysOne big puffy ball right overhead
After one morning’s cold and gray spread
Cloud puffs snoozing behind hills ahead20070417:
Freezing and chilling my long black hair
Spilling and whipping not meant to scare
After dinner dance with ‘Mar’ beware20070416:
Can’t remember if sunny or rain
Tax time and another Monday chain
In my realm of the boring mundaneSix poems in nine syllables in monorhyme.

20070318-Write Woman
How dare you ‘fund’-a-‘mentalist’!
To behead us female writers!
Must we send the fire fighters?Your barbarian ways have me pissed.
Your ‘ragged’ minds are old and blind
and leave your monkey shines behind!The Truth is not in naming names.
Your ‘fat-was’ not meant to be here.
You are NOT ALLOWED to cause fear!On behalf of our Mother Earth,
please allow Her voice to be heard.
This is my message from HIS word.A poem of four, three-lined stanzas of abb, cdd, eff, ghh pattern.

19681201-Fire Ball
She fell in the A.D. – one nine six eight
to observe a slow life of an unknown fate –
whose hot-headed nature is one of her trait.With her bad left knee and her first name’s sakes
she verbalizes whenever it aches
but hold backs her tears whatever it takes.A soul used to feel trapped inside this lab.
The soul does live while riding this cab.
The veil of her soul is one that keeps tab.The five lost balls do not normally lie.
The eye of god is like her beloved secret spy.
He knows everything about this lone fly.A poem of four, three-lined stanzas with ten syllables in monorhyme pattern.
