  • Io

    Venus is a flytrap  Pluto is a planet. Mars says he’s a god, you know And Saturn cannot stand it. Venus wandered off with Mars As any woman would But Mars, he had his eyes on Io, In a lonely wood.

  • Panda Bear

    I wish I was a Panda Bear (are pandas even bears?) I’d roll around the surfaces And dine on bamboo fare If anyone were apprehensive (seeing me in a room) I’m only kissing Mrs. P! And dusting out my broom!

  • Devious

    There’s something about that smile How it brightens up my day (Always) Something, for a while, I’ve really meant to say: A secret that we keep—we know— We just don’t dare to say. The distance is so vast between But I can’t stay away. Innocent on its face But devious at heart Cannot help predicament…

  • Longing

    I want to share my life with you but don’t  Know just  who you are I want someone who’ll challenge me Who’ll be my brightest star If only I held onto you Opportunity long gone I’d never let you go, my love I’d write a hundred songs All about my love for you and How…

  • Like Minds

    I don’t need you anymore. Fortune is a lonely whore. Challenges will keep me sane. Wracking my obtuse membrane. Leading is a thing I do Naturally, and you can too If I look to you for strength, You must be on my wavelength.

  • Heart

    My heart is filled with emptiness Essentially all the time. Sometimes it helps to put my thoughts To page, to wit, to rhyme. Physically, mentally, real and imagined— I cannot help but feel Some days it is the only way  That I can tell I’m real I try to think about my life With warm,…

  • Lucy in the Sky with LSD

    I dropped  I felt I’m liquid I melt I came You saw No blame Just awe If we Forsee The end Is near Then whom To tell Then disappear

  • I Wrote a Song for You Today

    I Wrote a Song for You Today

    I wrote a song for you today It’s a rather tragic tale About a man named Ahab And a damned elusive whale Or was it Ashenputel  With her friendly woodland friends They got her to the Ball and then  They did it once again. Or shall we talk about the Jew Whose trapped up in…

  • A Longing

    I’m tired of being the same Of chances never taken. Of dreams of borrowed fame From which I’ll never awaken. And you out there, you see, Just being and existing.All I want to be Is with you and persisting.

  • I felt Alone and Spoke Aloud…

    About the state the world was in. Though much assailed, I never bowed. I understood the stakes therein. And I withstood the consequence and understood the pertinence. The more I spoke the more it seemed That no one else was listening. My cry progressed to near a scream. Still, no one was listening. They all…

  • I Lost a Love Today

    I lost a love today Feels like I lost a life Some say you need companionship I went and got a wife But she and I Weren’t eye-to-eye And so she left me bare Now I’m alone Without a home And now I’m without hair.

  • You Call Yourself a Writer

    You call yourself a writer Cause your wallet’s feeling lighter— Yeah you’re Fresh out of dinero on this  Road that once was narrow but to— Day it’s somewhat wider An illusion meant to guide her To a false sense of security As if an impropriety Were as tangible as matter Or the silly sound of…

  • Ecstasy Unbound

    I’m going for a walk right now Not list’ning to your pleas. I know you want my presence there’s just Not enough of me. A lovely village band is playing Salsa in the square. I’d rather not be anywhere but  Better here than there. Suddenly I’m far from you just Drinking in the sound, Then…

  • Prose

    absolutely Let me love you in poems and caress you with words. I’ll shower you in metaphor, kiss you with consonance, verb you ‘til you moan with delight. We’ll be forever defined by sonnet and embraced by verse. Æthelbehrt would read us and weep, for he could never describe  Our purest love in prose.

  • I Call this Sonnet Gerald

    I yearn to know as much as I can learn A gift, this age is, to a probing mind And one should learn the right things to discern Or else he’s flying blindly—He is blind. In order to expand you have to grow And grow your base of knowledge and of facts. Our brains are…
