Rings

Guess it’s the caffeine

That acts like morphine –

You’re calm as a pup

Once you’ve had your cup.

Who needs diamond rings when you can have this?

So, It’s Earth Day

Speaking earthly issues,

Share awareness — today

Ignore tomorrow.

Suicidal Charge

Straight backs and wide open eyes,
chests swell as arms load,
“Light Brigade!” he commands, “Charge!

Goodbye

seatbelt unbuckled —

all set, ready to takeoff

never to return

One of Many

He wasn’t the first,

definitely not the last,

brave heart. Helpless son.
