Terence George Craddock Poems

graphite like the black rock coal is carbon graphite
is an allotrope of carbon as are charcoal diamond
graphite is a carbon compound with a plate-like
atomic structure that differentiates it from diamond
...

hot in the fierce
burning overhead sun
but cool beneath a green
tree shade breeze
...

in the meadow where flowers bloom in all scent colors
is a secret paradise place where butterflies silent reign
an emerald stillness is blessed in sunshine monarch bliss
...

to weave or not to weave
does not even address questions
what to weave when to weave where to weave
nor the question why weave;
...

streetlights are signs things are ok...
at least we know the streetlight works
electricity is running without problems
...

reason why muscle mafia CIA paranoid fears
disproportionally target fragile electric voice artists
polarizing figures fighting freedom campaigns
...

love memories residue incinerated
hugs discontinuity entropy increases
love piercings immunity forcefield fails
...

infinitesimal regions
true love entwined hearts
terminal trinity shadow explosions
...

revisiting social etiquette
basic requirements
in civilized society
...

the sweet release of total forgetfulness
the allure of opium eaters lost in no memories
lost in forgetfulness; without the curse
...
