EXPIRED PINE

Once formidable
tall, strong, swaying in fierce winds,
now old age claims you.

The Last Wilderness

Your secrets were found,
Dug out by shovels and picks
And then laid open.
Deep scars cover your sad face,
Your smile has been stripped away.

Cigarette

Dead lungs fill with smoke.
Eyes half closed in ecstasy.
Fingers pinch the tongue,
Removing the tobacco.
A strange love/hate relation.

Nature's worst enemy...Man!

Removing the tobacco.
A strange love/hate relation.

And back then, we all flirted with smoky death.

AGING

Thinning time slices
shifting sand through year glasses,
with less to fall through.

TELEVISION

Complex in your birth,
spawned by several creators,
you bring world vision.

Fortune 500

You're a store bought man,
Deaf, blind as Helen Keller
But without the soul.
Try to change but you cannot,
So accept your heartless course.

Pollution

A brown haze rises up,
installing itself as king.
Mindlessly moving,
Spreading it's malignant brand
Of industrial age angst.

It's the "aftermath", when conscious catches up wherein... the haunting begins.

Procrastination

Weathered wooden step,
Rusted nails and dried out wood
Have made it a risk
Wobbling like an old drunk,
Left to be cared for some day.

Two amps, one speaker,
Use a switcher to be safe,
Or smoke fills the room.

CANYON

Reptilian shaped
bending, twisting, slithering,
baptized by Nature.

DINOSAUR

Majestic reptile,
all life forms quake in your wake
unrivaled in brutish strength
your rule on this planet Earth
terminated by space rock!

Along The Ridge Trail

Every bead of sweat
Each switchback loosens a knot
My clouds unravel

DREAMS

Mental videos
we watch in our slumber world
without our remotes
channels are now shared wherein
with no control of viewing.

Structure correct, but lacks poetry touch.
