Two Middling Poems: September Grass & The Stage
Two Middling Poems:
September Grass
September Grass, always
Seems to have crickets
Ticking like clocks
(around their core)
And I can hear them
As I walk at twilight
Blurred, running through
The September Grass
I must have stepped
On a few...

Cruel World
Azra, Azra,
Wake up Azra.
Wake up Azra,
It is time to go.
Go where you must
But hate to do so.
Azra, it hurts me to say,
But you are the way.
Wake up Azra,
You have to go.
Azra, Azra,
You are made of gold,
But the gold, I cannot hold....

Three Poems: Liberty, Death, and a Frog [with Commentary on Liberty]
Frog Summer
Summer grows hot, for the
New-blooded frogs;
The bugs are thin, yet the
Frogs stay fat, young and sassy.
In these palsy times—they
Only listen, as we wither away.
Night fritters-away in sleep.
The morning brightness comes late,

Burning Autumn Leaves
[1950s in St. Paul, Minnesota]
My long steel pointed rake punctured
And twisted through tons of autumn leaves

And there’s a hill yet, I didn’t rake, I see
Behind it, two embankments
Leaves I didn’t r...

A Hundred and Fifty Dead [Korean War--l952]

Outside; the bookstore café, was cool.
An Old Timer stood by me, explaining:
“There were two-hundred of us on the Island,
Near North Korea, back in ‘52—
We guarded 16,000-prisners…

Feelings, O How Glorious!
Sometimes we feel hard-pressed,
Our backs against the wall;
Sometimes we feel lightheaded,
As if we are going to fall.
Sometimes we feel fierce anger
At those who misuse guns;
Sometimes we feel ashamed
Of how we treat God's little ones.

The Game of Life
When your life becomes unbearable
And the light of promise ceases to glow,
When all your dreams and aspirations
Lie dormant on ambition's death row.
When you feel that all is hopeless,
Life troubles just seem to abound.

Life is a Fantasy
LIFE IS A FANTASY!
A pink-eyed rabbit, fuzzy white

A child of six with much to know
Her father's basest feelings show
She knows of LOVE, only through him
He satisfies his every whim
He leaves, she wipes him

Peace and the beast within—!

Commuting Hell!
It’s dark, it’s cold, its’ just six thirty,

As I huddle down, inside my coat,
a commuter clone, just waiting for a train.
Insidious rain, just drizzling down,
through weak light of creeping dawn,
