Qualyxian Quest Oct 2024
Grey day blues today
Rest. Solitary.
Call my middle son
Keep him in my heart

White people with tattoos
Such is little Reno
To respond to suffering
By creating relating Art

Dawn goes down to day
7 Shakespeare plays
Noble Cordelia!
We all must play a part

Better to be lucky than good
Boston in the winter
Icy Charles River
My boy's wicked smaht!

Grey day today
I sleep inside
I remember Stockholm, Sweden
Remember Malahide

I like the Star Trek movies
Like Arrival too
Mission to Europa
Pondicherry Zoo

I read them City of Ember
Read them Things Not Seen
Chicago in the winter
Rothko blue and green

I post and post True Grit
Ms. Mattie Ross
Everlasting Arms
After all is lost

                  Music!

He calls poetry a school for feeling
Maybe this is so
What I feel for her
How I can't let go

Beautiful woman sitting near me
But I don't tell her. No.
I just steal a glance
Beautiful woman lo!

Cristobal Colon -izer
Time to let him fade away
Oct. 14
Indigenous People's Day

John Wayne's teeth
Thomas Builds-the-Fire
Father Greeley freely
George W. Liar

I am afraid of dying
Please courage at the end
Enter the Eternal Silence
Silence be my friend

                    Pretend.

Up sick this night
Sore throat. I can't sleep.
One eye on one son
Promises to keep

I'm doomed and I know it
Memories of Seam Riep
Emotions overflow it
Canyons snowy steep

I still love basketball
Thank you to my dad
Gandalf the White
Sweet Sir Galahad

The sore throat is painful
Took the medicine
Knock knock knock
Please let me in

          Thomas the Twin

I'm drawn to monkish solitude
Yo soy un isolato
Loneliness today
Loneliness tomorrow

My sons keep me connected
I say this gratefully
If I had one wish, O Life!
Please protect my 3

Once I was a traveller
Vienna, Paris, Rome
The temples at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

Now I stay inside
Sleep perchance to dream
Write a few poems
Post one for my team

                   Go Scorps!
Qualyxian Quest Oct 2024
I haven't read Plato in a very long time
Never been to Greece
Silently the breath
One day the breath will cease

Gratitude for fatherhood
Chaos comes a-calling
Music in the magic show
River Eden, Wetheraling

Pythagoras of Samos
Me of Christmas Eve
Satellite Beach, Florida
Hutch, Mike and Steve

In My Letter to You
Painful memories
Silent in the night
Wind in willow trees

          Please, baby, please!
