Barefoot – NaPoWriMo 2017 #8

grass between my toes,
breeze softly tossing my hair,
wispy clouds, blue sky,
sometimes I need reminding
where I’m from and who I am

Peace in Pieces

The sky is falling   send in the drones
no place to hide   enough is enough
little by little   show them who’s boss
hope slips away   weak we are not
death is a gift   they won’t soon forget
when life is pure hell   bomb them to bits
mercy is madness   mercy’s for losers
though some live to tell   who haven’t a clue
darkness unending   bleeding heart saps
no place to hide   enough is enough
the sky is falling   send in the drones

(NaPoWriMo 2017 #7 –  Today’s prompt suggestion was to write something along the lines of “luck” and “fortuitousness”, but I’m afraid I didn’t have the heart for it.

Lost in the Storm – NaPoWriMo 2017 #6


I almost forgot last night’s
storm, blinded by radiant
streams of sun bursting
from a breach of clustering,
cumulus billows, remnants
of a tempest not content
to blow over lightly, swelling
instead into her next fit
of fury…I almost forgot
how crazed you were,
even your smile cannot
span the breach between
us…not yet…maybe never.

Tweeting disaster
narcissistic, misogynist,
spoiled man-child…

Savior
wall-builder,
phenomenal dealer
making things great again.

Little Things – NoPoWriMo 2017 #4


Little Things

it’s the little things
forget the forest, I want to hug trees
it’s the little things
like collecting pebbles, now that’s my bling
or blowing white floaties setting them free
it doesn’t take much to entertain me
it’s the little things
