“Perhaps it is better
to wake up after all,
even to suffer,
rather than to remain
a dupe to illusions
all one’s life.”
.
~ Kate Chopin

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
disillusion
total confusion
another optical illusion
never a forgone conclusion
frustration
.
Lune: 5 / 3 / 5
.
selfish, self-centered
no respect
me, me, only me
.
Poem:
.
politics as usual
the ego is seeking the publicity
the ultimate goal is duplicity
those who support them are guilty of complicity
gerrymandering has nothing to do with simplicity
vilifying the opponent, close to slander
heaven forbid that they would use candor
the working man an innocent bystander
they will saying anything just to pander
race, color, creed just a percentage
more human fodder made into a silage
writers avoiding the subliminal message
vote for me, avoid the looming presage
liberal, conservative, middle of the road
to which vote is our allegiance owed
is there still such a thing as a moral code
don’t let this be just another repeat episode
a government by the people and for the people
may it ring from each and every church steeple
just once, may we have the truth come out
believe, have faith, your vote does have clout

“The poet is
the priest
of the
invisible.”
.
— Wallace Stevens

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
twilight
in camouflage
concealed in color
birds chirp evening psalms
invisible
.
Haiku:
.
blizzard of brightness
an invisible world
a winter white out
.
Poem:
love lost, love gained
the backbone of music and verse
life’s tribulations to be explained
emotions usually hid in a closet
songs vicariously used to emote
seeking a ride on a fantasy rocket
love yourself, love others
some preach unconditional love
the best love comes from Mothers
when one is feeling down and small
it is best to remember
God loves us all
ME and the Boss
