What You Will FInd Here ...

Join me in my celebration of life and language through poetry. You will find no hint of literary snobbery here. Much like our beloved English ... THIS poet is very much alive, fun-loving, growing and changing!

Love .... Or Somethin' Like It





Love
Or somethin’ like it
Sure has got some nerve
Goin’ round foolin’ folks
Into believin’ they was feelin’
More’n they
Ever really did

Hmpf …

Love
Or somethin’ like it
Has ruined lives aplenty
Scatterin’ the hope of folks
Into heaps of useless ashes
Smearin’ ‘em with the soot of failure
For all dem other folks to see

Hmpf!

Love
Or somethin’ like it
Ain’t  got no shame
Dang it all, dang it all
It won’t take no blame, y'all
Sorriest excuse for yearnin’
I ever seen

Hmpf …
