Guiding Light Coming To Rest

when the light 
headed master at last 
steers clear of that heavy 

black nest the gnarled 
mind had long set 
its heart on, there in 

the eyes’ 
opening, a 
hearth a
 
lighting home, 
that’s where 
you find it, 

finding itself.

Demiurgic

Wherein a poem 
Comes in- 

To existence once 
It slays 

Its creator, therein 
Leaving 

No room ever 
For that inexcusable 

Error within.

Rx Against Raging Despair

Once flighty one, 
Here’s your cup of tea: 
First off, look up 

All the synonyms 
For rue and find 
The one that best fits 

Your pesky malady, then 
Never rue the day 
You were borne to 

Seize it.

Inspirational Poetic Naivety

You just be 
Like that fat 
Tom resting on 

His haunches under 
A hedgerow of seed- 
Ladened myrtles— 

That poetic “opportunity 
Of a lifetime” is set 
To drop in any time now, 

Senselessly chirping 
Its dumb fool head off— 
All you have to do is swallow it.

Instructions For Survival In These Mean Times

Breathe in, 
Breathe out, 

Don't forget to 
Take a breather 
And do 

Take your sweet 
Time, taking it all in 

Good stride, let's see how 
Well you glide.

Flight


Something in the air: 
Yellow leaves turning orange— 
You were never there.

Vanguard Tuboflo Poets

In short, we go 
With the flow, 
Write only that
 
Which makes sense 
In the present 
Context but always 
Flush with fresh content, 

 
Contented as all 
Get out, you know 
How that goes
 
Down, no?
