We make decisions every day That impact people’s lives – Yet how liable are we For the outcome Get the camera; someone shouts From too close for safety’s sake Hold the children – run, run, run And shy away from danger He fell to ground – she looked behind And saw him die (but in […]

Merriment
I lived a life of merriment Within my mind – Spinning back and forth And up and down – The inner world of fortitude With solitude beyond – My window spoke and shared My thoughts – subverted – The drawer held life-like feelings Lost – diverted – Felicity and sweet parades And boats out of […]
Emily
I once saw fame – And put it in a drawer Needless be that Infamy stood over me He stayed there ‘til I’d well surpassed my mortal self And watched with hindsight As it was unwrapped With the pencil of a poet The letters made the words That made the poems That made me Yet […]
