POETRY
A POEM BY AND FROM FRANKIE!
Thank you, Frankie. I love it. It's kind of you to share it with us.
V-O-N
On that day the Wolf stirs
He senses the White Elephant
He begins to sharpen his teeth
He strengthens his bite
Hatred thickens the air
Resentment is bubbling in the creek
The moon is red
The stench of White draws the wolf
The show, The fraud, The big lie
Ah yes, the familiar dance of the White Elephant
A house of cards destined to fall
The charade is over once the house crumbles
The Wolf huffs and puffs…. then EXHALES
The cards cascade down.
One by one the truth sets fire
The rats scatter.
The White Elephant emerges from the wreckage
Amid the smoke he cowers being exposed
The Wolf bares his mirror like teeth
Salivating at the sight of his fine feast
The Elephant attempts to hide
The Wolf gives chase
He clenches The Elephant in his thirsty jaws
FINALLY, he tears him apart piece by piece
The Elephant feels the secrets drain
The beast turns from white to gray upon its slaughter
The Wolf feels resentments and hatred fade
The NECESSARY feast is finished
The Wolf returns to his den
He knows his slumber be sound
The creek is calm
The moon is white

QUESTIONS WE ALL ASK
by
Anthony P Yarwood
Thank God for bringing her home safe.
I never thought it could happen,
I thought she was gone from my life.
But you heard my heartfelt appeals
And chose to give her back to me.
Thank God I got back home in time.
I was stupid to take the risk.
But you took mercy upon me
And let it all pan out okay.
You must have heard my cry for help.
I’m not sure what I’ll do from now.
I didn’t expect it to end.
I assumed he’d always come back.
And I’d never be left alone.
Why didn’t you hear my prayers.
I know it won’t happen again.
You wouldn’t let it happen twice.
You’ve given me my shock already.
You know I can bear it no more.
Where is there no God here today?
I can feel my life is ending.
Are you going to welcome me?
Will you guide me to the next place?
Are you going to lead me on?
God, why the hell have you left me?
Did I blind myself by your light?
Did I just will you to exist?
My world is turning dark and still.
But wait, is that you here for me?
Thank God, you live, now that I die.
