  • Some of my Best Friends are Plants

    Some of my best friends are plants. My bonsai tree, emerging herbs— Some might think me disturbed. Because I make friends when they can’t. I love to watch them grow so full. So green and healthy, tall and proud— If you listen they speak aloud. They make green so hip and cool.

  • Antisocial Personality 239r0u[wqeat;glkj

    If once, I’ve said a thousand times: The wealthy are all fools. They feel compelled to gather well After their purse is full. They take more than they’ll ever need To live a happy life Because the only fun they ever have Is in creating others’ strife.

  • 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…

  • Lie with Me

    Bitten by Medusa’s hair, I’m poisoned and I’m stoned. Lie with me—we’ll be a pair— I dare not sleep alone.

  • Still Waiting

    Alone is a mood I don’t feel like. I want it for naught, you know. But bachelorhood ever has shaped me Allowed me to wise up and grow. I’ve never thought much about aging Of what I will do when I’m old. And what of the war I’ll be waging? Will I take on those…

  • Godless Martyr

    In retrospect, I loved you For reasons oh, so wrong. Or perhaps I confused love and lust. Because lust was just too strong. In retrospect, you ruined my life I should have been more cautious. But youth’s synonymous with error And your allure was noxious. In retrospect I made mistakes In thinking you were smarter.…

  • Time Travel is Real

    Image by Dave Tavres from Pixabay I’ll go back in time and I’ll solve The things that we couldn’t absolve I’ll use all my wit To talk lots of shit And suggest that we have to evolve.

  • Throw the Kids Against the Wall

    Throw the kids against the wall. They’ll stick like glue— They’ll never fall— Good to get them out the way For vacuuming the floors Thursday. And while it’s only Monday now, We’ll feed them on the wall somehow, And even measure how they grow Upon the wall, oh how they’ll glow.

  • They Say That…

    Love is such a simple thing to do, And when you meet the one, you’ll know that’s it. But still I’m left here holding this here shoe, Trying to find the one whose foot it fits. The one I love has lost her glass babouche. And I already know that she’s the one. For when…

  • There’s Nothing Sublimer

    There’s nothing sublimer Than being a rhymerSort of an all-timer A diction designer.

  • The seas will surely rise and the towers will fall This thriving mass of people will be nothing at all And the whole of human knowledge like the empty bee hives Will be inconstruable to anything that survives. I once wrote proudly thinking my honeyed words Would be somewhat everlasting but that thought was absurd…

  • Misty Mountains

    Amidst the Misty Mountains lived a Hobbit and his horde Of gold and jewels and silver And some sentimental swords. Once he traveled far from home To take back, with the dwarves, Their gold, their glory and their realm. A dragon — their reward. Smote the dragon someone did, This hobbit and his friends Took…

  • The Machine

    COVID keeps on killing kids and  No one seems to care! “Send them to their destiny It’s better for them there.” All so Mom and Dad can work And function the machine So the people killing us can Add to wealth, obscene. And men who promised to protect Are instead counting cash From the very…
