the Landscaper Revenant's Lament by
Kazakh Doom
I once tried being a landscaper in Ft. Worth. I hated it. Most of this tale is fiction; either way, a big part of me sometimes wishes it was all non-fiction.

A shorter Poem, imagined to be a kind of Poetic Folk-Song which may as well have sprang up during the Civil Unrest of 2020... Another lonesome product of it's own Age.

Big Time in the Desert by
WJosephusW
A stylistic experiment inspired by various poems by Rudyard Kipling, which emulated the Cockney, dock-worker accent common to Kipling's working-class readership in London. Kipling, having served in the British military in India, was well-versed in the lingo. In this poem's case, I tell of the woes and reminisces of a forgotten Afghanistan veteran from rural Appalachia.

The Armory by
WJosephusW
A longer poem on the relationship between war and humankind. This is not an anti-war poem, nor is it a work pushing for war. It's just... about it; how we are drawn to it, even.
