Sonnet #12
The rage I feel at this society Consumes me like a fire does a meadow It seems as though these fools who cannot see Make laws that they enforce on us below

On the socioeconomics of being humane
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all.

This
This is a sonnet for my Muse, inspired by Brian Eno's song "This". When I started, I got the first line, but then realised that fourteen lines starting with the same word would be a greater challenge that I thought, but you know I make things hard for myself and for her I would do anything as she would for me.

Winter's Touch
A silver sky called bleak wanted to cry but no tearful clouds could answer why - beautiful winter's time had arrived and to Autumn we said a sad goodbye.

Unread
I write poems that go unread Sometimes because I forget them before they escape my head Other times I write them But hide them instead

Hard Times
Here come the hard times Here comes the return of the archons The harkening of our death Not the death of people But the death of our nation

Birdsong
The duvet cover is heavy this morning The warmth between the sheets has its own gravity Sunlight is watery at best struggling in through the window around the aircon you have yet to remove

Water Calls
What is it about water that calms me? I never learned how to swim But it feels good to see Sometimes I wish I could jump in on a whim

Celebrate. Runner-Up in Holiday Reflections in Verse Challenge.
Introduction The Holiday Season brings us joy. I remember it as a child, then with my children, and now with my grandchild. I thought I could capture some of my memories and hopes in a sonnet.

A Feast of Memories
When the nutmeg touches the rum, A feast of nog that carries. From places around the thumb The drink carries. The warmth of the turkey lingers.

Never be Lost
In her place she speaks. Of long fall’s former pose. When the message of her bite sneaks. And she has a colder nose. The fresh bite of the season soon just blasts.

Are you 'Iceland'?
From December til the January But you being 'coldest' has to be; February Doctor said, I'm allergic to a disease If it gets on me, whole day I'll sneeze
