October, You Amaze Me
God in all His majesty
gives us now His tenth great gift
of multifarious joys.
Ghostwinds whistle lilting tunes,
motivating dancing leaves
to make their scuttling noise.
Distant hills are masterpieces.
God, the Artist, planned the blend
of reddish brown and gold.
Mums and pumpkins fill their spots
in front-yard settings bright and bold.

Skeleton’s Been Left To Rot Since OctoberYard skeleton hazard’s a stay.
He smells like a fish aft’ three days.
We wish he’d keel over,
But one might discover
the neighbor’s been dead, sans sway.
How bad we’d all feel - all the same,
the grit and the bow are to blame.
The holiday...

with blood on their hands
for a handful of hostage civilians
fueling Hamas’ evil plans
for ‘a thousand more October sevens’

Hallowed KingOut of misery—and for what?
What am I to do without my eyes of fog?
I am but a ghastly figure, trapped within my reality.
Pain once made me boundless and free,
Yet through the starry night, I feel love and dwell in it.
For luck’s sake, I am now chained to grace!
I must not, nor will I, lose myself...

10th of October 202410.10.2024
Have you finished all your projects?
It is wise to get them done quick.
Make hay while sunshine.
This would be my last advice.
Until you apologize.
Respect was what you lack of.
A simple word of goodbye would be fine.
But you could not manage and
Turned into .........
You constantly gave me threats,
When I caused you no harm.
Once you wrote "I...

FallCooler breezes give us relief from the stifling heat,
A signal autumn is coming, and summer is in full retreat.
Leaves on the trees turn yellow, orange, red and brown,
As the days grow shorter, they eventually find their way to the ground.
As temperatures continue to cool, animals prepare for the cold months ahead,
Birds, reptiles, and mammals make...

GoodbyeOctober 2024
It is painfully over.
Now, I have no energy and time to write.
After six months exhausting myself,
To keep the simple, fun but impossible friendship alive.
I know, I had said many times the word "Goodbye"
Help me to take you off my mind.
You only wrote once and then everything was done.
That was how powerful someone could have...

OrangeOrange is the color of the dead leaves falling to the ground
Orange is the bright bonfire crackling in the night
Orange is the smell of a freshly baked pumpkin pie
Orange is the feeling of the fall breeze blowing through the air
Orange is the taste of a perfectly cooked turkey for thanksgiving dinner
Orange is the sound of...

October’s ChildBorn in the breath of woodsmoke and fire,
I learned early to love the art of falling.
Leaves tumble like poorly kept secrets,
trees strip down without shame -
modesty’s for summer, after all.
October hums with rebellion:
bonfires blaze, sunsets bleed,
and the wind, cheeky as ever,
slips its cold fingers into every undone button.
History rattles here -
200 years since Waterloo fell...

I Am, You AreI am the fall leaf that spins on the branch.
The autumn flower bowing to winter's gaze.
I am the last bird to chase the fleet foot sun
The final cut of skeptical, loon grass.
You are the silent shriek of winter's gasp
The tease of times cryptic temper
You are the promise of menagerie green
The progenitor of silver scent melt
We...

OctoberIn October, in SoCal, where I was raised,
the hot, dry Santa Ana's blew.
The years since then sure flew,
and in every one, the wild fires blazed.
Each year, the month ended with witches and ghosts,
and candies by the score.
Could we eat much more
before, with sweets, we overdosed?
In Kindergarten, on my...

AutumnThe eruption, an autumnal blaze: yellow, red, and orange flames,
A reminder of the beauty of nature, the fragility
Of life, the mortal function of death, in
conjunction to rebirth, beyond preservation, the sensation
Of time, slipping away before our
Eyes, in a flurry of
Colors, showing us the
Beauty in endings
Hope in
Beginnings.

CrossroadsThese roads have always been here. Wood to brick, brick to stone, changes with the coming times. Modernity but where did it come from? All of a sudden, walking along different paths that lead to the same destination,
Concrete that calls the same names of old lovers yet I do not recognize the sweetness.
Degeneration that...

Floridas Homeless Jailed And Now May Die
they shuffle them in,
quiet and cold, like bodies
stacked in a morgue, breathing
in the scent of rot, sweat, piss,
dreams beaten down to dust.
this is where they house
the lost and the broken,
the ones who drank too much,
who listened too little,
who were loved even less.
no place left but these walls,
and four bunk beds rusted thin,
men muttering to ghosts
no...
