The tall ships sailed
Outward bound
Fated to find a new world
To be conquered
Land ho!
Much to see, o!
Round up the bands
Of natives and their lands
Create new brands
Under the explorer’s commands
‘Tis a new world order
With a rebound border
Survival of the fittest
Along with a long list
Of those willing to enlist
To put up their figurative fist.

El Niño
Gone loco,
Upset La Niña,
So no buena.
Category four
A lethal score,
Mother Nature,
Such a player.
Making waves
Like mad raves.
That’s her way,
We get no say.

Session gone awry,
Embittered spirits disturbed,
Rampant possessions.

Gems sprinkled throughout
Grace undercover at times,
Expressions of love.
Try open or closed
Crunchy nut butter on toast
With chocolate chips

Reaction
Incapable
Of
Thoughtfulness
Reckless
Impulsive
Oversized
Temper
Rendering
Impossible
Offers of
Truce.

Moonlit symphony
Meditative melody,
High fidelity.

Dirt between my toes
Water bubbling up my nose
Fire much too close.
[In memory of 9/11]
A series of dire events . . .
Broad daylight
Turned dark
Nightmare shock
Impossible
Among the rubble
Heaps of bloodied flesh
Panic crash
Remembering the sorrow
Hope for tomorrow . . .
Words are uttered,
Never to be retrieved,
Reaction in motion.
Only imagination
Can avert
The hurt.
