“Give ‘em”

Extended magazine of inaction.

Give ‘em.

Give ’em a gun; give ’em a Bible. /

Watch as they turn and go tribal. /

“An Act of God,” is their refrain /

as the children cry out in pain.

“Whisper”

Whisper

Falling leaves of fall /

whisper their dying refrain: /

winter is coming.

“Your rose”

Your rose

Your rose, dressed in rain, /

whispers down memory lane: /

wordless, its refrain.

Your rose

Your rose, dressed in rain, /

wordless, its refrain.

Random acts of poetry: Limerick: “Quills”

There once was a man from Ft. Wayne.
Whose bride nearly drove him to abstain.
Little sex, no thrills –
She was all “porcupine quills” –
Until he sang songs with bawdy refrains.
