My high school separation, a respite of joy
As I bandaged my wounds, removed the yoke crying
Freedom, sweet freedom your confusion I claim
As voices spoke of my calling to serve the Lord . . .

Fragmentary speeches tumble effortlessly
Evading hinterland ritual burials
As old vices dig deeply in varnished remains
Ripping off the warning tags firmly affixed as
Slaked history sows faded . . .

Last Wednesday was a normal day. I was sitting in my living room when I heard the postman being attacked by my neighbor's dog Fido. I got up to get my mail. I casually noticed a couple of dead birds . . .

"Totally messes up your head, if you know what I mean"
Standing there, in a crowd listening, face of that speaker
Half with joke, half with anger, twisting words without mercy
There comes . . .

It can be rather boring waiting to board the plane, but we had entertainment, so no one complained. Barbara B starting singing and Wilma threw potatoes on the foor and danced the mash potato and of course . . .

The next morning Mrs. Parker found Jolene under the covers and when she jostled her, Jolene jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. Mrs. Parker came out and found Jolene was shaking, so she asked . . .

If you are looking for some tips on how to write a poem, you might be in luck. The reason I say this is because no matter how good a lesson, or how informative the instructions, the basic fact is you . . .

You do not know me
You do not mean to treat me well
Pray tell me my transgression
So I can signal sincere confession
And if that ain't enough, well...,
Then you can stick it: Use your imagination . . .

I'm flooding out the stale emotions
Yes every drop must be drained from me
And leave this vessel with a promise
That such emptiness fills up a need
For my sail seeks a new . . .

People are talking about the weather and news
And giving their opinion with oft pointed views
Emotions run the gamut from smiles to a frown
As this common conversation never leaves town . . .

Dreams and fire intertwined
On the busy causeway
As side streets were yearning
With hints of sly burning
As passion and trust sat
With each promise never met
To the young child within . . .

Mrs. Parker was anything but okay. How could she be? Jolene’s scream, the strange coin and the window shade had all left her was a foreboding feeling of dread. That along with still going through . . .

Questions left barren under scorching suns
As daily masks swirl in, out and around
For there is no holy ground in deceit
Of flower petals trampled never saved
Nothing to erase from wishes replayed . . .

To crusade for countless loss of face
In merry moments of churning haste
Where hymns echo salvation that's paid
By armchair quarterbacks of this day
Turnstiles have known . . .

I met Norman Rockwell's spirit today
In America where freedom once sang
It seems like a storybook filled with dreams
Images on canvas of what should be
Our nation did not meddle in . . .

The vexing problem that stressed me
And brought sorrow into my soul
Has no hope of a tomorrow
As it lies buried in cold stone
If one problem was my fortune
I'd sing glad tunes both . . .

Each preposition I suppose
Directs me to what I should know
At least there's something to expect
Yet from this start I now reflect
On unseen changes in my life
Perhaps a . . .

Why time is so fickle in its hue
Or to tell of past that's not undone
For dust is gathered from races run
I said what purpose is anything . . .

Should King Lear come snooping around for a crime he'd be pleased
For this age has so many on the raft rifting out schemes
Where beggars have sordid baggage and captain this old ship
And sad . . .
