I hate you – for all you haven’t done.
All the acts the title was meant to convey,
All the lessons you were supposed to bestow
Upon your impressionable offspring every day. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #10 – Gone Forever”

Misplaced Missive #8 – Either Or
After all you’ve been, and all you’ve done,
How can you take as contemporary gospel,
That you’re God’s chosen one?
Have you repressed our history?
I wish I could.
I’ve tried enough for a lifetime.
If God deems you worthy,
Then that’s a god I can’t abide. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #8 – Either Or”

“Preparation”
Countless hours, days,
all for the ability
to declare: Ready.

Misplaced Missive #114 – 1 Good Reason
Young and insecure,
Constantly searching for:
Validation, Confirmation
Of reciprocation
Of feelings better forgotten.
So besotted; so taken

Set in motion to distract and subtract,
From thought-worthy worries and woes. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #114 – 1 Good Reason”

“Hyde”
Wide fields rimmed with trees,
with meadows free to grow wild
as they once might have.

I blare the music
To ensnare my mind
To spare myself the memory
Of the mayhem you voiced tonight – Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #210 – Background Music”
Traveler’s Haiku – Baker
“Baker”
History, fiction
collide on neat Baker Street,
a quaint deduction.
Wedding celebrations commenced yesterday, and my mini grad school reunion was a great time. Now, the wife and I are staying in west London. Can anyone guess which well-known residence we visited today?

Traveler’s Haiku – Enfield
“Enfield”
Paving stone sidewalks
lead to an unknown town, but
still familiar.
Guess who’s in England! We arrived yesterday afternoon to attend my friend’s wedding tomorrow. This will be a reunion of several of my grad school friends, so it’s only fitting that the smaller town we’re staying in reminds me of Exeter.
