Road Trip SonnetGas station snacks piled in the free seat,
windows half-cracked to catch onrushing air,
velocity cools the day’s outer heat,
blowing around my girlfriend’s auburn hair.
Avoid dull highways, take the scenic route,
the country unfolds, villages and farms,
small valleys...

Songbirds join...

Cold Poetry Soup, Part IIII prefer my soup hot and fresh.
But sometimes I like to change it up
With something cold, like Gazpacho.

To which image should we cling
Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew

Mysteries abound
mesmerizing my
mind with enchantments
midst myriad muse of

Lessons Learned
On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,
glad to see the hesitation of colors,
graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters,
lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...
