Your best feet forward
heels tapping
vamp it up
booting out negativity
sole savouring
stepping out
high kicking.
Squeal all together now:
“I LOVE your shoes!”

poem- twisting September 7, 2018
White,
twisting,
writhing,
flashing.
Black,
sizzling,
scorching,
smiling.
Red,
faith,
courage,
blood.
Yellow
bright,
hopeful,
dreaming.
Blue
bubbling,
pushing,
pulsing.
Colour me
a turning rainbow
sensational
essence
life.
poem-present February 18, 2018
A present for her
that’s really for him.
A present for him
that’s really for her.
Who needs a gift, really?
Presence is enough.
poem- humming April 12, 2017
I feel your humming.
Though you are far,
the vibrations of your present loss
reverberate.
I am humming
remembering you
near
nearer
nearest
wrapped around
my memories
squeezing like
a garbage compactor
humming
as it crushes
moments into
memories.
poem- possible impossible November 7, 2016
Possibly,
I’m
impossible.
This posterity
of probability
poses immortality
prompts immorality
indulges the impossible
creates possibility
from infinity.
Assures
I’m possible.
poem- missed her April 12, 2016
He
mistrusted her
misted her
missed her
Ah
mystery
miscellany
misogyny
Yes
his miss
he missed
through mist
For
miss
such mister
she must.
poem- (almost) free March 18, 2016
The bell rings for two weeks of freedom.
Free of schedules.
Free of expectations.
Free of responsibilities.
Except those embraced
freely.
poem- slightly November 9, 2015
I’m here in my office,
not looking forward to this meeting,
shivering, despite my wrap,
thinking how I’m much rather
be wrapped by you.
poem- fill March 8, 2015
Clean fill wanted.
Fill ‘er up.
Free fill.
Post buffet belly full.
Fill the empty space, erase the years.
Botox?
Not free.
But fills
poem-new March 1, 2015
The birds return
set sights on sites and sing
in fervor with that mating thing
You take to the road
push pedals for a hundred k
while I wait for petals,
seek something to say
and all of these are just the way
we mark each new spring.
Me. You. New.
too.
