I don’t want to know
what distant shelling sounds like!
Ignorance IS bliss.
Senryū
Where Leviathan Lurks
Pain’s abyssal depths
can’t be adequately plumbed
with a Likert Scale.
You Always Have a Choice
You can plan your death
but it’s much more effective
to choose how you’ll live.
Colloidal Cautions
Please remember, folks,
All that Jiggles ain’t jello.
Sometimes, friends, it’s slime.
Masked
Behind bravado
Cowers insecure infant
Confidently clothed.
Blindness
How can he deny
even the least scintilla
in these women’s claims?
The New Dean Asks
Has the bully learned
that the threatened may get tough
and protect themselves?
Senryū 11 May 2018
My inner poet
Mourns your harsh assertion that
Letters are mundane
In Davos
There he stands, agape
Trumpeting his trumperies
To that gilded horde
Senryū 12 Jan 18
When fury rises
Over poorly chosen words
What’s a man to do
Anodyne
I crave the quiet
Moment to take pen in hand
Compose some small peace
Cause Célèbre
Let us not confuse
A lost cause with a just one.
That won’t bring us peace.
Arise…And Shine?
When duty drags us
From deep, contented, slumber
It must be Monday.
Regulars
After long absence
It is most reassuring
To be called by name
Aroil in Pain
