Thees & Thous
… a glossary of terms, riddled with worms
Assertively, he speaks in thees and thous,
inflecting the impression of anger's rage.
For sake of argument, he thus allows
himself some caustic scope to so engage.
Out bursts, a tirade of words contorted,
carried, nay harried, in verbal combat.
Thus he lobs a bolt of words assorted,
on target; laying claim to this and that!
Thee, at this point's pivot, mayst be confused
as regards the meaning of such prattle.
Simply stated, this mouth of mouths refused
to swing unhardened steel in heat of battle.
. Buried deep in a glossary of terms,
. might this be his end - all riddled with worms!

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.

Conversations With a Granddaughter
When our granddaughter gets to our house with her mother, I tell them that her grandpa may be sleeping. We all tiptoe into the living room where he went back to sleep earlier. As we approach the living room we can hear, softly, his head is covered up.
