It looked small beyond the Bay.
I tried to find a second and failed,
even though I looked each way.

Merry Christmas
Shoppers, and
Poor women and poor men
With wallets

You are the wonder.
Mother, mother,
You are there

Come one, come all. Well, not quite;
only those who have the poem 'bite';
that is, those who like poetry to write,
or at least to read it when it's …..in sight.

1. 'Eat Shit And DIE! '
Long ago I heard the expression 'Eat shit and die! '.
I don't recall who spoke, and I don't recall why.
...
I am remembering holding this book I am holding now,
reading this poetry book I am reading now, and remembering
how I would read this poet in college. Occasionally, maybe rarely.

The firefighter's stories hold many sad memories
The lives that they save is immeasurable in value
They work round the clock to save the nation
And they do their best to protect us from tragedies

To fight my fire by water.

A Firefighter’s Nightmare (Senryu)
California’s drought
A firefighter’s nightmare

no platonic ideals about love
and birth of love in myths and fables;
or discourses about marriages made in Heaven
...
Over there in the trenches stands a medic and a nurse
They have seen the bad and the worse,
They have been kicked, punched and also cursed
While help and comfort they have faithfully dispersed,
...
I been looing all around
trying to loose my brain,
been looking for all sorts of love
to just say im crazyin love

Robert Portella is a cherished hero
Everyone certainly agrees
He is a New York firefighter
And takes his job very seriously

I went to work.
Just another day.
I didn't know it would be my last.
Remember me.

The firefighter was my husband and he was of the best.
He was great, he was loved and I was truly blessed.
I was a stay at home mom who took care of our infants.
Who got great gifts and felt so loved every day and more for birthdays and christmas.

Poem on Twenty third of April Kids day in Turkey
Though there is a huge sunset everywhere
Our stars grow each day shiner than ever
...
And the most ostentatiously excruciating thing is
watching and feeling the social justice executive director
give sex, love, affection, parental trust and social accommodation
to the gang style kill thrill murderer! And the false accuser of rape.
...
Nothing changes your personality like identifying the killer in a news clip and then watching
while it becomes an officer and a firefighter vis a vis its transgender status. Nothing.
Nothing changes you like turning an exact whereabouts profiling of Osama Bin Laden into the FBIwithin six months of 9-11 and knowing the FBI has done NOTHING about it, while it takes them another nine years to get him while you were one hundred and ten billion percent certain it was him. It could have been a typical arrest. Not a trillion dollar war.Nothing.
Nothing makes you hate so intensely and so severely. Nothing makes you hate people and how clueless and blessed they get to be so much. Nothing.
...
I hope to see you sometime soon
Try not to miss me too much
I hope you still wish upon the moon
Times are so tough without your touch

A man who’d given all:
A friend to the firefighters
He took to heart this call.

Now playing harmonica, a firefighter, musician extraordinaire,
a celebrity in our lives, establishing the entity of all beauty
as it floats and drifts into clouds trailing above.

sing intensely while he, himself sings melodies, making
them touch our hearts and souls in moments of sorrow.

Passed with flying colors at every stage
Determined to follow the footsteps of her family
That is the dream that she did see.

The governor
has asked other countries' fliers
to help put out
California fires

The wildfire spreads fast with the wind.
I am a firefighter and so
I fight with others to defend
The neighborhood that I do know.
...
Put me in a coffin all beautiful at last,
A gunfighter of roses beneath the
Over pass;
Dressed up and laid out there so sweet
...
I wasn't called to be like you
Or to be like my sister Sue,
I wasn't called to be like my twin
Only to look like my kin,

Dreaming of being a keeper of the zoo

Happy Thanksgiving

Working women,
And

They lived and breathed this kind of rattle.
And if it still hurts then hold your breath,
Like they held theirs' until their death.
Don't hate them for what they've done,

They will always be there for you,
no matter where life takes ya,
and no matter what situation your in.

Small town boys, having a catch
Were only seeking fun
A simple pack of matches
The deadly deed was done
...
Kitten perches on the table top to peer
At the lips on the goldfish
Puckering and grimacing as the fish swims in its
Bowl of sand and sink water.
...
anger is fear
it's boiling within me within you
beneath all the applauds
corrupting all my thoughts
...
On the outside
Looking up
Crashing through the door
Looking through the smoke and fire
...
Whenever I go to that sandy beach,
from my heart a sorrow slowly leaks,
like water from a vast ocean,
too much with no end,
...
I wish i was a river to quench the thirst of thirsty
I wish i was a cloth to provide warmness to the needy
I wish i was a home to shelter the homeless
I wish i was a flower to inspire the poet

Her hair was up in a little pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a little pink bow.
...
birth and death
is what we all have to go though
some people may live long
but some of us won't
...
As the midnight drawing near,
A huge fire leaping into the air,
Engulfing the houses as it snarls.
It grows bigger and bigger.
...
Baby, I'm a firefighter
Trapped in a burning house
there is no way out
watching the burning love
...
A hero is when someone cares about you,
They will always be there for you,
no matter where life takes ya,
and no matter what situation your in.

We dream as kids,
What we want to become.
Firefighter, Doctor, Astronaut,
Our dreams taking flight.

Ever since we were born
Our parents watched over us.
As we grew they tired to put us on the right path
Warning us against certain things.

I’d be the bravest soldier
In the army, oh the best,
Marching proudly on parade
With medals on me chest;

I guess I have
Some questions that remain
Unanswered to this day,
But I will write them
...
if i am your president......
a lawyer.....a humanitarian
liberalist
sepratist

Who are we?
Human beings on planet earth, of course.
What are we doing?

forest wraps us in it's deep lush
cacoon of greens, browns, intermintent
rays of sunshine dancing through canopy

'Tricker Treaters'
Oh how cute, a princess
Look at this, a cowboy and a cow girl
Right behind them, a couple of Indians
...
They are out fighting fires
That’s why they are not home
But please don’t worry
They are not alone.
...
'Are you Globensky? ' asked the seasoned
man i met
by his wife's side @ Thorncrag, sure he had met that

Her hair was up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow.

A touching version of 'Winter Wonderland' by Felix Bernard & Richard B. Smith.
Fire bells ring, We're awake and listening
Rush to the trucks
...
You put out fires.
You go in them.
You're a firefighter.
I'm scared

I want to write for everyone, I want to write for me
I want to write for all the world and for my family
I want to write for my dentist, my neighbor,

For the unstable country
For the refugee who left properties
And becomes needy
For the poor who is staving

Australia is at war with bloody red flames
burning our land until charcoal remains
The volunteer fireman, our hero and hope

I make my way through these hollow walls, plunging for a glimpse of light I keep seeking. Darkness blots shapes and colours, incontiguous smiles and voices echoing.
'Make me happy, make me happy' they need their fare while watching me with a continuous stare. Wings I had, which now have broken and something persuading me, my mind has awoken.
I move and dance yet I'm motionless making sure I keep sane. I murdered my daughter and stood not bothered. Yet she haunts me in my dream saying 'goodnight, I love you father.'
I'm a firefighter, I fight these fires. Flames shape silhouettes that give me a struggle.
...
Life is burning
Flames covering candid souls
Sun quietly weeping

Bridget Anne Kelly fought back her tears
As long as she could, her lips quivering
Her face growing more and more red
As the jury foreman pronounced a
...
911 Emergency
Alarms puncturing
Lights illuminating
A fire, burning up the way
...
Alarms are puncturing
Alarms via firefighter
Firefighter from the way
Firefighter under fire burning
...
These fires up here are burnin' burnin' burnin'
our lungs are taking it's toll
there's ash and smoke so thick an air
we can hardly go out to the car
...
Flames of love
The fierce big monster
Approached,
Penetrating the woods
...
I’ve been struck by the bullet of love
Like a torpedo in a sandstorm;
A firefighter swallowed by backdraft
...
He dreamed of being a firefighter with any kind of luck
He hoped to wear the helmet and ride the big red truck
Soon they get the call and the alarm will start to sound
Excitement starts to build as their hearts begin to pound
...
Go tell them that ought to have given you light
That no matter how much a time they change their names
They remain to us a symbol of deep acrid darkness
Wolves in sheep clothing will always be wolves
...
** This poem is in memory of Daniel Barden, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Daniel loved to play the drums, ride the waves of the ocean, spend time with his family, and his dream was to be a firefighter when he got older.
