    The Time has Come part 2 (Vampire)

    When you announce that you're coming to dinner, the hosts should be prepared. Seeing that his death is the center attraction of the meal, I assumed that I will not be greeted appropriately. I went home to change into something...

    • There is no future in the past. Only lessons. Nice one

    • Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
      The only real problem with AI is, that it makes the truth almost impossible to discern.Seeing used to be believing but not anymore.No doubt, the powerful and the wicked will use AI for any other reason than to create poetry etc.

    The Shadow of You

    The Shadow of You   Sitting here thinking, drinking my Black and Tan contemplating the stormy motion I see in shadows   *****   Yes, it’s dark in there but, occasionally you can see different shades of black mixing with greys and an undercurrent of blue. Sometimes, usually when you least expect it,...

    • Powerful work. I felt this to the core of me.

    • This is a very beautiful work, my friend. I love your, “unruly midnight moon,” and there are so many other lines that touched me deeply; if I tried to mention them here I might as well write every line.

    • Someone told me that to describe the feelings within shadow was a testament to writing good poetry. I don’t know about that, but I admit, I love this poem, the flow of it, and that you saw and felt it is warmly appreciated. I knew an artist friend who drew scenes in pencil. She had one piece, a landscape, done in black pencil that I swear when you looked at it deeply, you could see blue streaks flow in it. Some of that experience of seeing this piece of art is what I tried to capture in this poem and where that line: “…kaleidoscope of greys” came from.

      Mary, thank you, your visits and comments mean a lot to me.

    • FlatDaddy, it thrills me that you were touched by this poem. You might be surprised to know that unruly moon gets really rambunctious at midnight. Then again, we are the same age, so you probably know all about unruly moons. At any rate I truly welcome your visit and thanks for a great comment (and message).

    Love In The Time Of Katrina II

    Love in the Time of Katrina II     The air was stagnate with humidity, the pines and oaks stood stoically in the stillness and Medea fell hard for Jason.   Betrayal like the eye of Katrina, was first calm until the wind changed, spread, increased, intensified. Medea gave everything, including her brothers, so Jason could flee with...

    • Yeah, that calm was not calm at all. The aftermath was. Terrible

      • Katrina, one of the long list of American crimes committed against Black folks. Countless numbers of Black people crammed into the Astrodome, that looked like the slave ships that brought African people here as slaves. The thousands of people who lost EVERYTHING and who were “dispersed” to different parts of the country. Yes it was natural disaster but made worse by man made oppression, like the whites who shot at Black folks on the bridge out of New Orleans, forcing them back into the floods. This country truly is a nation of barbarity and savagery.

        Thanks Fia, it is always great when you come and visit my poems.
