His poet’s way with words - far-flung, 
Don’t get me wrong I love his tongue. 
The words caress, 
I acquiesce -
If only he were better hung.

Much “ADO” about nothing. 

When I was a small child, a phrase I oft heard spoke
Generally just teasing, simply meant as a joke.

They might say of a person “That guys a “nit-wit”
Some might contend the speaker, that could fit. 

As I sat there in the hot sun just finished my mowing
The steam from me rising,...

Much Ado About Poo

We purchased so called “big boy pants”
complete with all their “cans and can’ts”
thought potty training a big mistake
till the day he yelled “I made a snake!!!”


Cats will cover up their load
horses drop it in the road
birds can do it while they fly
dropping it on the passersby
people do it in their homes
in rooms...

The thickets were traitors,
Front and back they cut me down
Till I lost the sight of my buttery;
Gasping like blacksmith’s belows I asked: 
What flesh did antelope even have?...

By morn, and under cerulean skies,
     he rises from sheets and soft pillows of down;
and gives praise; for the Lord is just and wise,
     and great to behold by this earth all round.
By noon, he sets about his songs and rhymes,
     labors whose...

Just picture this:
Our solar system with it’s Sun and its planets
The delicate dance around that the planets do
Now imagine an incredibly massive hair net
That holds all together like celestial super glue

Now try to conceive of the vast distances/space
between even the closest...or the most far
and how they race at breakneck pace
in lockstep about our star

Step back...

“Maybe in your next life “Krishna said

Because we really don’t know what happens, after your dead

Well, our president has beat the charge

our military now list him as “at large”? 

Tomorrow will still keep its Dawn

Because of a memory it must carry on


Will the criminals be allowed to rule?

And are we allowed the devils tools

Perhaps the...

Welcome to a typical 'Luau' spread. The first thing that is best to learn is the Hawaiian word, 'ono', which means, delicious. It's a word bandied about before and after food goes in your mouth. In later years, it became a slang word as 'onolicious.' The main dish at any luau is Poi (PO-ee) pronounced...

Typical chest-beating testosterone
Braggadocios tales
of digital conquest
Wannabe pick-up artist
paint the Don Juan canvas con
lip sly palate best
Locker room omission
of depleted ego transmission:

Boastful teen wolf puffs
ain’t saying piggly much
Nothing burgers be flipping the script,
phantom date ...
Monkeyshines gon tell you all about it
Mean Jane Doe skirt euphemisms
smock cover an empty, flaccid affair

I must bid you adieu
In just three languages will do
Donadagohvi--Cherokee
Adios--Spanish you see
Goodbye--English the language of you and me.


(Ado means busy, noisy bustle etc.  Hear I mean I am saying goodbye but I am busy.)...

“Much Ado About Nothing” 

Romeo’s love doesn’t fall through, 
As Tybalt piques his fancy too. 
And Juliet, 
Not in love yet 
Chills out on Tinder and Temu. 

William, don’t mind the premise pick, 
The rhymes have moved on so to speak;
Short and lightweight -
It’s shooting straight, 
Not a sonnet, a limerick. 

No tragic twists, no...

Hyacinths bloom around 
These leather-bound pages.
New books, old floorboards,
Alternative trees.
The heady, balmy scent of
You is here in this bookshop:
Clean-cut dew on magnolia,
Spices and amber sap…
I recognise it on the threshold.
Two floors turned into a 
Labyrinth of literature and 
You are everywhere I turn.
Shelf upon towering shelf of
Permanent words, and
You can recite my favourites.
Printed pages kiss...

Nothing

Is not no-thing

No-thing implies

A thing..but 

Nothing implies

Something..

Circling...



Nothing

May seem to

Suggest

Equality as

Freedom...



Nothing 

Is not imaginable

Untouchable..

But may seem

Obvious as 

Words dance...



A dictionary

Is nothing 

Appearing as 

A book with a

Listing of words

Appearances of

Nothing...



Not knowing

And nothing

Different words

Begging to express

What cannot be

Expressed...



Uncertainty

A fading certainty..

A story of

Nothing

Nipping at edges...



The word

Nothing

Recalls something

But the something

May suddenly

Explode...

In the war of words, tongues wag,
Wit and jest, lies and insults, haggle for traction,
joining the ragtag rabble of riffraff chaff
blowing in the wind, littering the ground with trash.
Rumors spun, deceptions woven into a shroud of deceit.
There's so much ado, no adieu, nor regret
in the cauldron of a nihil brew
boiled to an amorphous spew
bubbling chaotic...
