September Poem #28

chamber
of mockery
whispering roar, piercing hearts
blubbering, belligerent rage
truth hid, on holiday

Congress corrupted…check. Laughing stock of the world…check. Media slandered…check. The 1% richer…check. Natural resources squandered…check. The Supreme Court’s integrity destroyed…check. Allies dismissed, enemies embraced…check, check, check. Democracy dies a slow, ugly death, does it not?


September Poem #27

a truth’s
veracity
regarded through subjective
lenses is easily dismissed
as smoke with no fire

Autumn Rhapsody

Autumn Rhapsody

she weeps fallow fronds,
flushed crimson, vermillion,
sienas, ochres,
yearning for cool eventide’s
frosted plunge, and dreams of spring

September Poem #25

minutes
sixty seconds
tick tock so very slowly
but only when I am waiting
never when I am late
