A LADY WITH A PASSION, PERHAPS A BIT DIFFERENT, YET ESSENTIAL..

VENUS TRACKER A Lady I did come to know, A girlfriend extraordinaire, Her living she did make, In a most curious way, A tracker of STDs was she, For passion often has hitchhikers, Infections slow and creeping, Damaging host after host, Report of an infection, Interview she seeking source, Always...

TAKE GREAT CARE, SCORN NOT THE GODS, POWERFUL INDEED..

PUNISHMENT In Greece, long ago, Like a rock she was, Approached by Zeus, Prideful of herself, Beautiful was, she knew, Treating men scornfully, She had dared to laugh, At his attempted seduction, Now one should never, Ever laugh at the Gods, Most of all Zeus himself, Terribly great his wrath, Into a...

HOW NOW BROWN COW, OR A CURIOUS THING, CSI FANS ATTENTION PLEASE....

Radiantly Defiant Radiant in defiance, Before the warden stood, 8 months pregnant she, Serving life without parole, For a crime she not commit, She had hid it as long could, Then she really began to swell, Watermelon like was her belly, The authorities were pissed, The media had a ball, Immaculate...

RETREADING AND BROKEN HEARTS, HUMAN FRAILITY........

HEARTBREAK Terrible indeed was her rage, He, the one, her true love forever, The one she had devoted her life to, Left her for another woman, A younger, prettier, dumber one, Her heart was broken, in pieces, Even worst, it was gone from her, As if it had been ripped from her chest, An eaten by the...

HISTORY IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT, SOMETHINGS SURPASS HISTORY

MARKER On a cold dark autumn eve, In an ancient cemetery, Still preserved in Gotham, In the oldest corner back, There is a granite tombstone, Dated 1766 in simple English, Alexander and Gloria Andrews, English subjects, man and wife, Died each in the same year, Buried side by side, or vertically,...

HOMECOMING, NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE, ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THE WARS

THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving evening, Flew all night from London, Home on leave, 30 days, His wife not seen 6 months, Stressed he was, exhausted, 5 months of combat endured, Now because of minor wound, Basket leave granted, hurrah, Not sure how his woman was, Her recent letters guarded, Something had...

LOVE IS A HARDY FLOWER, SLOW TO GROW, BUT BLOSSOMS SO.

REFUGEE She was small, barely an adult, All her life, only war’s hunger known, Hunger for food, peace, and kin, Family and tribe all destroyed, Mutilated, damaged goods she, Shuffled camp to camp, emptiness, All she sought was a place, a home, Home and love, peace and dignity, She cared not where or...

SCORING ON THE MAKE, ANOTHER FINE TALE FROM MGTMS.......

PICKUP Two buddies, in the bar sat, 6 months in the bush, Both still green behind the ears, First drinks, wanting fun, Strange new port, first time, Neither knew a soul around, Needs they had, women, Alas, alas no point to start, No names, no points of contact, Most importantly no cash, Jarheads,...

ADVENTURES IN GARDENING, EVEN LOVE MUST BE NURTURED...

C all of the Garden I await a call this evening, though I have heard the voice before, I have yet to speak with her, She is a marvelous woman, or so her printed words would say, bright, delightful, incredible oriental understatement and subtly, What would she have of an oft such as I, a soldier of...

ONE THAT GOT AWAY...

CHANGLING I have come to begin to know a woman marvelously superb, of gracious beauty and charming wit, She comes to me with a past as all of us do, save those unfortunate souls, who have strived to survive under a rock, A teacher, mother, leader, Sherlock, and Lady Faire, all this and more, Bound...
