America, My Country 'Tis Of Thee
To be sure,
Renne Good is not the first
Poet to be snuffed out
By evil,
But by looking
The other way, we
Make doubly sure
She won't be the last.

Calling All MAGA Boot-Lickers Come Rain Or Shine
Y'all start
lickety-split
a
Things-to-do list
For that top crum-
Bum of yours and don't
Stop even if you run
Out of saliva
For the spit-
Shine
That comes after,
Right on time.

Chorus Of Cicadas
We are here to help you
Remember together how
The wind shapes
The pines and to hear
With the approaching
Twilight, the song
Of our longing all ready
Set to disappear.

Elusive Illusion
Illustrious as ever
An unforgettable image is,
This one was also so
Riviting it took forever
To reappear--see us?
We're still, waiting here.

Down-To-Earth Autumn Rhymes
Fall where they may,
If they could talk, these humble
Leaves would have acres to say
Of their brief
Yet colorful sojourn on Earth,
Whereas we who have the power
Of high-sounding speech, utter
Utter asininities day-after-day,
Pretending what we mumble,
More often than not, takes this
Too, too precious pedestrian
Breath of ours away.
