The enviro activist
pointed to the sky
decrying ‘chem trails’
she blamed for the clouds,
as she triggered my asthma,
with her cigarette smoke.
poem-rescue? September 3, 2014
From over the hill
ten inch trout
between his bill
a gull flies toward the lake.
.
Unlikely rescue mission.
poem- dancing July 13, 2014
She wouldn’t dance.
But still
he spun her in circles
twisted her arms
flipped her over
spun her again
’til she was dizzy.
And yet
she wouldn’t dance.
poem- dockside June 28, 2014
The boat bumps
against the wharf
and the tourist boy
grins and offers his hand
inviting the hometown girl
to enjoy novelty
as old as time.
poem- no poem April 9, 2014
There is no poem today.
The muses did not stop my way.
Regretfully I must decline
upon some vague truth to opine
Today for you there is no verse.
but chin up, it could be worse!
poem- winter wind January 13, 2014
Wafting on the cool wind
as I plow through the snow to the car
comes the heavy scent of roses.
I look for the source without success
as the air is saturated with summer
in frosty winter:
Perfumed paradox.
