Shared Torch LakeI rock in this outdoor cheap chair
Its cushion foam like ice cream
Half-eaten by the winter mice in storage
I don’t mind
Don’t need a full seat to see before me
The drop off on Torch Lake
Its fine line...

Take Me To The Water
Take me to the water once again
where seashells are cradled
by the soft lull of shore's end
sitting contented and ladled
At the seaside two discarded oars
traded in for a summer jaunt
across the...

Small Fish
Holding onto a rail.
I lean over to see my reflection
mirrored in the water
and small fish swimming
in the camouflage of me.
I muse whether they are feeding
on my thoughts, nibbling
on the strands that loosely
float my...

I'm still riding the waves duck diving my way through
Or occasionally having to ask for a hand and toe in when I need to,
Sometimes I'm amped and pop...

THE Drought -Prickly are the waters drought
no more do drops collected
gallons of waters evaporated
once was a lake than a pond
now it's not even a fishing hole
dust rise up we're vapors once vented

Palindrome: Dumb-old-dork of ExportsMom spilled hot stew, wets a pal, lap short-shorts,
Dad yelled its hot, loop pool pop dive exhorts,
Mom says not that sort of hot,
Pip, spiced hot that's all it got?
Snot tons, "Jokes--Pip, we're exports, not Hogwarts?"

Goldfish fighting in my dishwasherI'm slowly evaporating from this verbal tennis match
For some reason we continue to give breath to these vapor windy circles
Brewing a coffee tornado that is going to spill all over my shirt

In Choosing SeclusionChoice is a cause
Choosing brings effects.
Effects bring potential closure
Into perceived final ending.

Please, no grief in this
Just joy, and understood tenderness.

then I realized I can't utter a word
All of them told I can't read
Then I chose to write
I smiled and smiled and I wrote
Come again to me...

Lake’s hair is in pretty natural stagnant ringlets
An owl takes a perch in the design I see
her lovely paths lead somewhere
oak trees are readily reflected in her depths
has this waterway devoured people?

Look Closely
I took the short path,
as many do to get to the beach.
Loving the beach with it's white sand,
a great summertime place for all ages.
I could not wait to see the lovely view,
the early morning blue...

Love is a Quiet VerbWhen love is too loud, and lurid,
it languishes in lewd, lusty lakes.
When love is silent, and steadfast,
it sings sweetly with soft waves on sea shores.
When love is motionless and mute,
it meanders...

Constant water run
Plumbers cost money
Homeowner is sad
Waits a bit too long
The basement floods
Ruins couches
Bedding thrown out
Salvage nothing

Morning started with just a tiny mist,
leaves on plants are just being kissed.
It won’t be long,
until they’re strong,
and from my water hose they ‘ll subsist.
