		<title>Blue Skies</title>
		<link>https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10030-blue-skies</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10030-blue-skies</guid>
		<description> On another Tuesday, azure 

skies glowed. Crimson and burnt 

umber had only begun 

to massage green life 

from branches. The morning, crisp,

was warmer than this. 
 Yesterday was Monday, dark,

wet with passive rain.

But today's skies

are clear Carolina blue. 
 On that other Tuesday, black

tainted, flooded, choked

the pristine sky with fear.

Still, blue remained still

here. 
 I wonder if today

will welcome doom

so gracefully. </description>

thin, translucent, useless

until used.

		<title>A Crumby Mess</title>
		<link>https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10053-a-crumby-mess</link>

		<description>
    
        
            
             The chips have fallen

            on the floor with a crunch 

            and the bowl's clatter. 
             The crumby mess is made worse

            by the party, the celebration, those

            not watching where they're going --

            their footsteps grind potato 

            into dirt into carpet. 
            Where is the maid? 
             We have none for we are poor. 
            Who will tidy the mess? 
             No one: 
             those who see it watch 

            from behind closed windows,

            shake their heads slowly, bowed. 
             Crumbs conceded

            to the dogs, the only hope

            for damage control. 
            Let them eat cake instead.

		<description> Beacon Oh Beacon

Guardian harbor light

Isolated towers height



Beacon Oh Beacon

Surrounded by infinite liquidity

Crumbling antiquated serendipity



Beacon Oh Beacon

Ancient productivity cast

By a saviour past



Beacon Oh Beacon

Maroon banded finger tipped

Iron cage light bereft



Beacon Oh Beacon

Gull winged sail

Circling amid sky blue pale



Beacon Oh Beacon

Demise articulated at last

As waves engulf last gasp

		<description> Hope has died tonight

this new ugliness

paints us all with old rage.



Mink hairs pulled from the ferrule 

leave trails to divide us

into a faux-unity of seething peace.



Stand silent in this true slavery

of one message, one artist, one love

one vision, and the sanctity of death.



Let go of hope: 

the old paradigm is dead,

all of the colors now are gray.



No more green, No more blue, No More red, 

only the selfish slog of  a smeared  palate

and his new history written black on white.



When you ask me to look ahead

to every bold new canvas, so that I can make out

the differences of shade and tone - the twilight

that owns the future.



I will ignore your artistry and look back,

at the bitter red plastic hearts ticking together

like a bomb waiting to create Jackson Pollock.  ... more  </description>

		<description> like thin roots twisting in dirt

below the wide cradle of leaves  
 the threads of my thoughts

weave along a looming sky  
 gray clouds grow from the scattered seeds 

of a plump pumpkin dawn 
 wrecklessly out of season, 

a moment metamorphasizes me 
 i am the pollywog

short of pawtucket falls 
 swimming, waiting to leap
