Poem  of  the  Week

Halfway

12/30/2019

0 Comments

 

I start with new determination, set,
above the valley floor of politics,
off in the distance is a silhouette,
an unfamiliar end that now conflicts.

Suspended, stalled, my vehicle is still,
I'm helpless keeping muddled thoughts at bay.
Inaction now confounds my purposed will,
lodged frozen in ambition's path, halfway.

The boundless possibilities of youth,
without the temperance of lessons learned,
are hampering attempts at seeing truth,
and thus effects of cause can't be discerned. 

I focus on the task and redefine,
until my sudden fear is in decline.

Signs of Life

12/24/2019

0 Comments

 

My younger years behind me, 
The passage never straight, 
I always thought true riches 
Would build in my estate. 
The signs that mark direction 
Are everywhere I gaze, 
My sudden indecision 
Now complicates the maze. 
 
Which city shall I live in? 
What work will I desire? 
Will life's preoccupation 
Expend what I aspire? 
I stare upon the crossroads 
While placards make me choose, 
My mixed evaluation 
Continues to confuse. 
 
The simple path seduces, 
The difficult I dread, 
I make my choice to hasten, 
Step cautiously ahead, 
I spy the sign that matters, 
Lets enterprise evolve, 
It simply says "No limits", 
Instilling my resolve.

The Majesty of Sunset

12/17/2019

0 Comments

 

No one could prepare me
for the resplendency,
the esteemed majesty, 
of the mid-March sunset,
in which the falling sun
drapes itself in such red.

So unexpected!
I’ve seen its descent
toward horizon
for ten thousand eves-
but not like this one.

Crimson doesn’t
do justice to
these hues of deep,
darkening skies.

Reverence
is evoked,
though short-lived.

Watching,
I’m in

awe.

Cannons Silent

12/10/2019

0 Comments

 

British moving ever shoreward,
ardent plans will soon be blooming.
Soldiers hunkered, never cowered,
even with the battles looming,
cannons silent, pointing eastward , 
wait to start their endless booming.

Soldiers hunkered, never cowered,
even with the battles looming,
captain's orders pass on forward,
throes of hunger, still consuming.
Cannons silent, pointing eastward , 
wait to start their endless booming.

Captain's orders pass on forward,
throes of hunger, still consuming,
painful groans, a muffled curse word,
doubts about the war's resuming,
cannons silent, pointing eastward, 
wait to start their endless booming.

Painful groans, a muffled curse word,
doubts about the war's resuming,
feasting on the peppered game bird,
skillets cleaned but fires fuming,
cannons silent, pointing eastward, 
wait to start their endless booming.

The Baseball Fan's Lament

12/3/2019

0 Comments

 

As baseball is sleeping, the winter scenes cast,
withdrawal begins to unravel the fan-
too long 'til Spring Training, yet trades are long past,
and free agent signings are nil in this span.

With basketball scores now the dominant news,
and hockey announcers rejoicing odd goals,
the true fan of baseball, enduring the blues,
are ho-humming sportscasts, adrift with their souls.

Just two months to get through, if weather permits,
and sounds of the diamond will echo anew, 
Vin Scully describing the battles of wits
between the home dugouts and visiting crews.

We live for the spring, when we somehow survived, 
to sit in the bleachers-- the season's arrived!
