Speak carefully

the tongues razor edge
cuts deeper than any knife
wield it cautiously

The long climb

Jack and Jill traverse
a mountain of hope and fate
chasing destiny

Dinosaurs

lords of land and sky
lumbering titans of yore
now fuel for our cars

The dark side of politics

eXuberantly
eXtolling eXcrement to
eXtract eXtra votes

Election Season 2

troublesome trifle
trilling tediously twixt
politico tongues

Election Season

profusely pleading
precious public opinion
politicians preen

At rest

sleep... perchance to dream
so serenely slumbering
naught for which to wake

Compromise

Good threatens greatness
But perfection kills progress
Balance is the key

fortitude

mettle forged in time
hardened by experience
wheted with knowledge
