The End of This Chapter
Just my thoughts of what awaits at the end of my career. Nothing fancy just simple.
AMERICAN TRUTH
The seventh line is, "True blue is hard to find", but should be read true blue ~s~ ,,,, the s sound replaces is (also true for the third line, "realities fleeting" is actually reality is fleeting),,,, this is done for purposes of proper flow. Everyday we watch the news and everyday we forget yesterdays tragedies hence the line reality is fleeting,,,, why is that??? because we dont have time to worry ,,, we have our jobs, kids, and our bills to pay,,,thats what this poem is about.
A to Z of a Day
Awakening at the break of dawn Breathe in and taste the early morn Coming to terms with what lies ahead Desperately wanting to stay in bed Enjoying that coffee the rich full roast Forgetting to check and burning the toast Getting in the shower,

When I grow up
I have no idea why I wrote this, I used to be a cop, Im not anymore. I guess this is a poem for all the men and women of law enforcement across the globe that put thier life on the line each day to save others.
Benefits of knowledge
An experimental poem with many deviations, I am sure, as an example of benefits of learning from my fellow poets how to write terzanelles, pantoums, etc. It is up to them to decide whether this particular poem is a terzanelle or not. Any comments are beneficial, therefore very welcome.
am I done yet?
I was getting bored at work, and still see the tons of task to be accomplished. Excited about after work activity, I was pre-occupied. But realizing I should finish something at work, I have to push myself into focusing and determination, in order to be useful and worthy to be there..

Wish I'd just win the lottery or something so I don't have to concern myself with these mundane banalities.

What is writing?
I just decided to be a smartass one day and wrote about writing. Like metacognition for the written language.
A Field Worker's Soil
Most people (ignorant, so to speak) immediately assume that all hispanic immigrants are good for nothings, that they belong in the rice fields. Little do they know, hispanics in general are labor ready workers, hard-workers, willing to sacrifice whatever it is necessary to provide their families with daily food. They're underpaid and disrespected, this poem was written in honor of those great men whose fruit is the product of their labor.

Nine Years
I remember mowing grass in 1988 and not knowing how much oil to add and filling it all the way up. The manager saw the smoke and kicked my off that job and back to the back in the dishroom.

The Artist
Having an artistic bent, yes I can draw but it has been many years since I actually did so with a passion so thought of the emotions and feelings one goes through when trying to capture something on paper, canvas or even in your mind.

This is a parody of a HeeHaw song. It was a country comedy and musical show that was on when I was a kid back in the 70's. With all the people out looking for work in this new economy, I thought this would be a good song for them to sing.
Sleeping Awake
Goodnight. The evening it sighs, The morn light she yawns, As we sleep wide awake, A screem with no sound, The silence so LOUD, Trying to run so far. Not getting anywhere. This hell is no dream. Like a touch with no feel All this true and s
