Voices from within
battle over the concept
of good and evil.

She woke last night
beneath warm quilts in a strange flat.
She woke last night
and soon remembered frantic flight,
escaping from the drunken rat.
Her mom’s relief spilled out so that
she woke last night.

The sounds of pain
still echoed in her tender ears--
the sounds of pain
announcing fury’s harsh refrain
because he’d had too many beers.
Her mom endured, through all those years,
the sounds of pain.

They’re free at last.
Away from that destructive life,
they’re free at last.
The bloodied lips are in the past.
They’re free to live without the strife.
He’ll have to find another wife.
They’re free at last!

Insensitive lout
pouring macho gibberish
into the gene pool.

I took the back road
down to Tupelo,
where fond memories
with deep Southern roots
and young boy's dreams flow
through my weary soul.

On a back porch swing
down in Tupelo,
sipping some iced tea,
thinking of Elvis,
I am channeling
king of rock and roll.



Note: The Tableau is a poetry form, invented by Emily Romano, constructed in stanzas of six lines with five syllables per line, as described and demonstrated in the following link: http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/tableau.html

The idea of the negative
makes me want to take a sedative.

When someone says, “I can’t,”
I always start to rant

about taking one step at a time
to make a successful climb.

Solace of winter,
where thoughts of summer romance
float like butterflies.

My wife’s nagging me into the ground,
and my IRA’s not very sound--
worst it’s ever been.
All hell broke loose when
my girl friend caught me messin' around.

A witch’s brew and voodoo curses
bring pestilence and rolling hearses.
When friends start croakin’
‘cause my mirror’s broken,
it’s time to chant some lucky verses.

The ghost of Mister Poe whispers in my ear
about the never-ending tale of his crow.
Like a pair of young brothers who know no fear,
we share another bottle of fine Bordeaux
and fantasies grim as a funeral bier.

Mystic visions give way to sweet afterglow.
I think I shall savor one more round of cheer,
before the dawn comes and he must sadly go.

Gurgling mountain stream
sparkles in summer swelter
through prism of Haiku.

=====

Japanese Haiku
compressed visions with a twist
You can't do just one.

=====

Orange marmalade
sunrise washes horizon
to welcome new day.

=====

Stars twinkle at night
until they get washed away
by tide of daylight.

=====

Sultry summer night
beneath rising crescent moon,
crickets serenade.

=====

Flowertown Festival

When April showers
feed azalea blossoms,
people flock to see.

Ebbing tide unveils
a trove of nautilus shells.
When tide turns to flow,
beachcombing ballerina
bows to scoop and pirouettes.
