avoiding the mass
parishioners were grieving
loss of their pastor
he'd been caught in smoking grass
in the field outside the church

Fields outside the church
were covered with old tombstones
where the songbirds perch.
A feathered choir whose sweet tones
rise above decay and bones.

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



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

raise up decayed bones
to be ground up for bone meal
and spread in garden
will bring on resurrection
of the buried tulip bulbs

Buried Tulip bulbs
will bloom nicely in the Spring
unless someone flubs.
Soil preparation will bring
colors which make planters sing.

Planter's Peanut sings?
must have come out of his shell
for Karaoke
He purchased fancy cash shoes
and a pee can; they went nuts

Canopy for nuts!
Democrats hate the ballroom;
no ifs ands or buts.
Trump derangement is their doom
since they left their mother’s womb.

left their mother's worm
crawling around the back porch
better watch your step
or you could crushed the wee thing
and leave mess for Mom to clean
