Submitted by smiley7 on Thu, 05/09/2019 - 9:12pmThe sky is falling
it fell,
already,
didn’t you receive an ice cold text?
Next
Green leaves hug neighborhoods, forest streams
hiding views
of things dead
The sky is falling
on who,
whom,
everyone, sooner or later,
between summer and fall ...
love the fall
beautiful
its colorful falling
collecting 'leafs' into piles of sameness,
I'm no poet.

I looked upon the city that cried for war.
I saw the corporate concrete capillaries,
maintaining the body belligerent,
lorded over by that which believed
That it deserved the powers of the King.

the days before
pushed in dreams
of color...
Kindred of the poor
blessed in time and place
barefooted to cities of the night
taking flight
carrying Mother’s anger
and hating
it
a yoke of time, puritanical
Lifted, somewhat with age
infirmity at the door
wishing more delights

Granddaughters
As I write, I worry about your futures
cause aspirations of two women, queens to be,
children of presidents,
Ivanka and Chelsea
dominate your playgrounds of artifical turf
lifted by money and the media it affords
seeping into the conscious of millions
overwhelmed by closets of red shoes
They may inherit the crown
Vegas bets so
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Submitted by smiley7 on Sat, 03/18/2017 - 8:46pmBecause, 6 heard that 7 8 9.
From the beginning, 6 pleaded with fellow numbers to celebrate the opportunity the first grade provided...
let's play
and play, 6 did
through universities, over continents
up mountains, down rivers
on stage-and-off in many languages
keeping on
enlightened more by hippie fashion and colors
6 soared.
