a short poem I just formed. #poetrysky #author pain is proof of life too many losses but not enough for despair to own me merely for it to annoyingly hump my leg like a terrier starved for attention William F. DeVault. all rights reserved. in honor of Larry Jaffe and Carlo Parcelli...

friend, poet, and brother Lawrence George "Larry" Jaffe, whom I have known for over 30 years, passed a few days ago. so here is my tribute to him. #poetrysky #eulogy #author

why wait? Here is my read of my poem "Conformity", written in tribute to Allen Ginsberg. #poetrysky #author #Ginsberg100

I wrote this for a 100th birthday volume for Allen Ginsberg, coming out later this year, and liked it so much I decided to share it here and now. If you ask nicely, I may do a reading in a few days. #poetrysky #author #poem #conformity

I received very strong feedback on this poem, about a doomed romance, entitled "We kissed as criminals" from Kintsugi. #poetrysky #romance #love #booksky #author

Seeing evidence that Musk’s Starlink has been used to undermine the political process and Ukrainian defense, we realize we cannot trust the leadership. I am calling for the US to nationalize Starlink.

make America safe again? jail the pedophiles and their enablers.

from Kintsugi. you cannot earnest say I love you to someone without leaving behind a piece of your soul when the illusions fade. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #hope

I am haunted by the evil we have allowed to fester in our presence. #poetrysky #booksky #epsteinadministration

I wrote this a few years back. even recorded it. but for some reason or other, key lines in it rose in me as I went over the allegations and evidences in the Epstein files. I will let it do my talking for me. #poetrysky #poem #evangelist #author #booksky

I note the new list that Bondi released of “all government officials and politically exposed persons” from the Epstein files includes misspellings of celebrity names and others as irrelevant as Cher, Diana Ross, and Marilyn Monroe. DOJ is flailing to cover their butts. #epsteinfiles #doj

and for my final offering this Valentine's Day, I give you, ironically, a poem about a relationship where I have been eternally, frustratingly, friend-zoned. #poetrysky #love #romance #booksky #author

for Valentine's Day, from the miracle volume that is "liaison" #poetrysky #booksky #romance #passion #author

for Valentine's Day... #poetrysky #booksky #author #NewYork #Panther

while I do not count the Damascus poems in my collection as part of a cycle, I did number them. each possesses a separate charm and vision from a relationship nearly 30 years ago. #poetrysky #poetry #romance #author #booksky

one of my more awarded pieces...from 2001...a complex birth from many inspirations, many muses, although one editor called me an obscurantist for using the word brandywine. sigh. #poetrysky #romance #authorsky #valentinesday #poem

from my upcoming volume Ukraine is a Woman, a little reflection for Valentine's Day. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #unrequited

I am glad that Vladyslav Heraskevych stood by principle, even at the cost of his qualification for the Winter Olympics. Taking a stand and commemorating fellow Ukrainian athletes that should have been with him, instead of killed by the Russian war machine. @winterolympics.bsky.social #Ukraine

I think I'll watch Bad Bunny at halftime, instead of the unrepentant pedophile. BBs music is much better anyway. #superbowl

If you support this racist, misogynist, criminal regime, do not buy my books. But I invite you to broaden your mind, your heart, your soul by going to the Internet Archive snd downloading, or reading, woke poetry by a New Generation Beat Poet Laureate. Try Kintsugi... archive.org/details/@wil...

let the Founding Fathers be found once more. let Christ back into Christianity. from Kintsugi "Anthem". #poetrysky #booksky #poet #poem #America #revolution #NBPF #resist

in light of new revelations, perhaps my line in "American Anthemathema" should haver read "pedophilic cannibals" and not "pedophilic carnivores". Oh well, lost opportunity.

from Kintsugi, #poetrysky #life #booksky #author

Never the less Nevertheless we persist we resist we consistently rise on the tide against the side that would pridefully lie to themselves and us that their birthright has left them atop an imaginary steeple above us, never the less except in their delusion. William F. DeVault.

new poem. #maga monochromatic rainbows their one-dimensional minds and hearts dream of monochromatic rainbows where the Sistine Chapel had a fresh coat of eggshell landlord paint in a world of plainsong uninspired free verse a universe of mediocrity William F. DeVault. all rights reserved.

from Ukraine is a Woman, due out next month, my 36th book (my tenth in hardcover) something tenderly erotic, it woke me from my sleep and demanded I record it before I could rest. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #eroticism #love #passion I think this part of me is awake, once more.

for those who find hatred, greed, and intolerance too easy. #poetrysky #spokenword #booksky #poetry #author

from Ukraine is a Woman, out later this Spring, a poem about the corruption in us all that confounds our better natures in these times. #poetrysky #booksky #politics #ICE #DHS #history

At 66 years of age, Holly Hunter is cuter, hotter, and more transcendently attractive than a hundred sun-kissed 23 year old models. The new Star Trek series has reminded me of this. #startrekstarfleetacademy

from my latest poetry collection, Kintsugi, #poetrysky #booksky #author

Remember that nowadays you can't spell POTUS without POS.

My reading of my new poem "Thou shalt not murder", my commentary on these vile and violent times. #poetrysky #booksky #spokenword #author

from my upcoming book Ukraine is a Woman. in regards to many examples of our inhumanity. #poetrysky #booksky #author #poem #Gaza #Ukraine #Minneapolis #Venezuela

from my upcoming book Ukraine is a Woman, a poem of the current cultural and geopolitical situation threatening us all. #poetrysky #booksky #author #politics

from Kintsugi, a commentary on the evil and hypocrisy rife in US national leadership. #poetrysky #booksky #politics #venezuela #author #resist

Okay, just trying to keep this straight. In defiance of US and International law we attack a sovereign nation and abduct their President and First Lady to be held for trial in the US. We have followed up with stated threats against that country's VP, and Greenland, Columbia, and Cuba. #Venezuela

no blood for oil. this imperialist BS is old, tired, and proven unfruitful. the Monroe Doctrine was wrong-minded, but also over 200 years ago.

Impeach. And not just one person. Run the deck of neo-fascist nazis destroying America in the name of racist and misogynistic madness.

New Year Lover from my upcoming poetry collection Ukraine is a Woman. #poetrysky #booksky #author #poet #romance #memory

what can I say? it is an addiction. fresh from the tortured fold and ridges of my preconscious, a new poem. #poetrysky #booksky #poet #romance #passion #author

one more posting from Kintsugi. yes, I know, I spoil you all. #poetrysky #booksky #poems #author #LosAngeles #california
