History Of Rock and Roll

Part 1


Tight pants boys

haunt and flaunt.

Loose lip girls

tease and please.

The music only

changes beats

every so many decades.


~R. Gerry Fabian




a star orbits another one my love for you


~Tejendra Sherchan




every time a train whistles: fernweh

~Arvinder Kaur




Amanda Gorman

said it for us

fiercely Good

~Jennifer Gurney





a young lizard

I wonder about its long tail

basking in the winter sun

~Tejendra Sherchan






In The Distance


All the pretty painted horses -

white, red, yellow and green -

going round and round

and up and down.

The glitz and glamor

is intoxicating

like sparkling seltzer spritzer.

Within the dizzying reverberations,

joy jostles and jumps.


~R. Gerry Fabian






rain in the house

all my books

start to talk

~Emil Karla




you won't do it, will you?

the worried disbelief

that makes him do it

~Emil Karla




just toy soldiers

endless echoes

of forever wars

~Stephanie Zepherelli




Dead


Despite

different structures,

Dead remain dead.

~Partha Sarkar




Cardamon black tea

A cup savored

When the world is chilled

~Sarah Mahina Calvello




Where

do we die

when we go?

~Nicholas De Marino
