Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog

Former House rep J.D. Hayworth was on Hardball last evening blaming George Soros and Chuck Schumer for the economic collapse.

Vinegar Sunshine

Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Knocking from Inside Blog
Vinegar sunshine catches on thorns
of light that prickle off the river
brilliant fever in a flash of silver
caught between passing storms.
Vinegar sunshine and acid rain
spill from a sky-framed mansion
whose cloud-walls shiver with tension
releasing thunder and a sudden flame.
Collection available! Knocking from Inside

Falling Free, Flying Free

Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Knocking from Inside Blog
Sky pales
on time-lapse.
Sun leaps,
morning bell peals,
dew on sepals
utters silent pleas.
Unheard pleas
as a face pales,
crumpled like sepals.
Another “lapse”
evokes peals
of pain. Leaps
of faith, leaps
strung with wasted pleas
like beads, silent peals.
But faith pales
as every lapse
unfolds poison sepals.
Shedding sepals,
a flower leaps.
The stem begins to lapse
into decay. Its pleas
are trapped behind […]

Savanna Dust

[?]Submitted by Knocking from Inside Blog
Of all the things I’ve lost, I think I miss
the smell of rain on hot savanna dust
more than the rest. Imaginary kiss
of all the things I’ve lost.
I think I miss
the silent scorpion, the adder’s hiss—
these loves I knew too well to ever trust—
of all the things!
I’ve […]

Tired All by Samuel Tan
Nine boys, tired all, run
Boots crunching as they fly
Toasted, one said, for he saw
Monstrous, gleaming eyes
Seven girls, sages all, walk
In the gleam of snow-fall land
Happy all, run, fantastic
Smiling, this day will end
Five men, dying all, lie
In the pool of frost-cold blood
Belated long, their […]
