When grammar gets in the way
of the meaning
—lose the grammar!
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
$$$$$$
Money…
an ungrateful heir
Disowning all memory
—with your ashes still warm
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
The Story
Tell a good story poorly
not a poor story well
Your current raging over
—all trough laden swells
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Billy Blue
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
Your world’s a mess
There’s nothing new
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
Your sheep are shorn
Your flower’s few
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
Your time now warps
In shades of grey
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
That choice you made
To run away…
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
Your worship hollow
An empty pew
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
Your time insolvent
Your memories few
Billy Blue
Billy Blue
Last dice to roll
Snake eyes stare back
Billy Blue
Billy Blue,
The reaper knocks
—your fate unlatched
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Grandparenting
Becoming totally involved
—while keeping your opinions to yourself
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

Wow, I really like "Billy Blue, Billy Blue"; It remind me of the movie Billy Jack, not sure why. I imagine your poem in a movie, like Sons of Anarchy. really nice poem.
Billy Jack with Tom Laughlin...that really takes me back.
