Water,
Humble and kind,
Washes away poor's shelters,
The fearful vibrations of fate,
A doom.
Pressure
only deflates
pressure hidden inside,
gradually caused my midriff
meltdown
I take
her hand in mine
and guide her down the street.
Will my daughter take my hand too, one day?
SOIL SOAKER*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rain
weighty, intense
piercing, soaking, saturating
refreshing earth’s firmament
soil soaker
*Note:This poem was first published at Poetry Soup in June 2025 then deleted (poetrysoup.com › poem › soil_soaker_1738878) This is my original poem.
Can't wait
for the rapture.
When the evil people
go up to heaven, and we can
progress.
FLASH DANCE*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fireflies
flicker, enchant
dancing amongst the stars
suspended pieces of glitter
flash dance

PINK PERFECTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lotus
pink perfection
rising from murky depths
unfolding beauty, grace, and peace
hope
Bluesy
swinging sipper—
Sax in fancy suede taps,
keys go snippety, ivory
sprinkles
Nickel
and dimed, nickel
and dimed: the neglected
human center can't hold undone
for gold.

Humane?
You pen with shame!
Selling your dignity?
Tell me, why trash your only voice?
No, thanks!
Fragile
ceiling of glass,
growth can be slow progress.
You feel like you’re burning alive.
Hothouse,
a dramatic transformation.
Knowledge builds stamina
to just move one
more step.
My grasp
Weakens in time
Gravel loosens...my grip
Upon furtive blooms in my youth
Lost son
I do
believe in you
words you say, deeds you lay
everything that you are is true
I draw
april
cold thunderstorms
beginning of flowers
fertile festive fey like feeling
april
Missed links
Clawed wings, blue cheeks,
Rufous crest, maroon eyes
Gawky gait, baffling diet, odd
Bird stinks*
*Hoatzin bird
