Best Air Poems

When miserable clouds assemble,
bursting with drops of sorrow,
gusts of torment bring dark tides to your door.
You feel hope is like forgotten pennies,
lost at the bottom of a wishing well.

Arrows of anxiety keep firing
at your muddled mind.

When you feel trapped inside your head,
monsters lurk inside -

 To right the wrongs of love no flawless gauge exists 
Though visions unfulfilled can leave one bereft
With tears of remorse for the ones who didn’t show
Or lamenting the ones who came and left

 Sparkly wings donned we cruise the starry skies

The country odor got through my nose hair
Coz above some milk pails
We encountered cow tails
Which filled our senses with their dairy-air...

Freedom! Sensuously she spreads her wings, 
Floating in glorious glens
Now at one with nature

I lost all those I love
even my little baby prince
to that heavenly place above,

Don’t memorize things, Einstein said,

if it’s easy to look up instead!

I’ve got taped to my cell

what I still don’t know well:

My own number! Why clutter my head?


This is a true story. From the quote below, I’d say Einstein’s “got my number!”

“Never memorize something that you...

Slipping into my silver-gray SUV
Nicknamed  " Sly Buster Cruiser”
I speed off down the rocky, off-highway road.
Twisting and reeling like my wired mind,
windows down, sunroof open,
(Annie Lennox groveling on the CD player),
reckless noon rays on my chin,
wind on ticklish, naked nape ...
Damn, who cares? I...

RECIPE

it warms the creatures like morning baked bread,  
grows high, dies low, is part of cosmic time.
Flowing, agile, glistening droplets spread,
wet with life, liquid mirror in one song,
splashing high, vast enough to fill a bay. 
Light, sailing, lifting...
