once a missus

other guy
she had met
caught her eye
and abets

her divorce
from her man --
no remorse;
it began

innocent
with a shrug
reticent
then a hug

then a kiss
all amiss

lip service

all a miss
needs to do
is a kiss
maybe two

on the cheek
of a guy
who is meek,
also shy

to convince
single life
is past tense
and a wife

he must get,
married yet?

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Happy For Rest

Merry yet?
Robin asked
someone bet
if we're masked

we would be.

Little John
won't agree
whereupon

they donned tights
forest green;
arrow flights
crisp and clean

Sherwood be
nice to see!

give up the ghost

To see nice
wear your specs;
paradise
that effects

your two eyes
may assist
vision lies
or a tryst

with a fence
or a sign
and convince
the Divine

you’re obtuse.
What’s the use!

a clean slate

What's the use
of tissue?
blow refuse
or issue

from your nose
or your rear
wiping those
ear to ear

from a roll
or a box
it's parole
to buttocks

what relief
for your beef!

rhetor-wreck

Foyer beef
drew a crowd
with belief,
“it was loud”

that a fight
might ensue
in the night
and a few

placed their bet
that someone
would soon get
out his gun.

fisticuffs
aren’t enough

Children's Church

What's enough
in the pew
meets rebuff
to argue

afterwards
in the hall
when their words
start a brawl

between five
six-year-olds
who derive
from their colds

lots of snot
as they fought

bar none

Are they fraught
with desire
to be caught
and a fire

made to start
on behinds?
It was smart
but law binds

hands that rear
children now,
so that fear
will allow

kids it fails
room in jails.
