Winter Chickadee
Outside my window lives a chickadee,
he loves snowy green pine,
and has a family of about twenty-three;
he loves the snow and falling snowflakes divine,
and each morning the whole family sing for me.
Sometimes they scatter on clamous whirling wings,
off to a park nearby,
my heart is sad...

Writers BlockBlank pages stare back at me
waiting for my mind to pour
its' heart out.
I grab my pen, throw on my
headphones wait, wait for my
mind to give my heart words
that need to be written.
I make my mark, withdraw my hand,...

They sow so they sew.
His aide aid with an ade.
You saw a ewe eat a yew.

Passage Du TempsI sit on a chair
The chair is by the table
The table is against the wall
On the wall is a clock
The clock goes tic toc
As surely as time passes
I, do not move
The chair does not move
The table does not move
The wall just stands there holding up...

11Claquée j’ai quitté mon lit douillé
J’ai peur de sombrer dans ma tête souillée
Dans mes rêves je suis toujours exilée
Je n’ai jamais trouvé le sommeil espéré
J’ai savouré le mal qui me trépassait
Le mal que personne ne pourra déchiffrer
Je mourrais...

Dramatic Monologue
AnimalAnimals in top hats,
Ride bicycles en road,
Spoked wheels and pedaled spats,
Round about, in ornamental spode.
Animals in monocles,
Spectate in obeisance,
Cuffed by inked chronicle:
Renascence-linked complacence.
Animals in Model Ts,
Toot along en route,
To queue below burlesque marquee,
Bloating bruit by gloat and brute.
Animals in suits,
Sustained by entree manner,
Tasting...

New YearNew Year
Will there be a new solution
Or old problems’ dissolution
With New Year’s resolution
When to all that we loath
Including hearken to the froth
Bow and take the rebut oath?
Have we learned to jump
Where our toe hit the stump
And unravelled our rump
When, while at flight,
With blazing wanton...

Dust Off the DictionaryI am archaic and forgotten these are my dusty tomes
The perennial deipnosophist verbally alone
With flowing ink my guide, the page my diligent doxy
I capriciously choose my diction and propose my proxy
A peccant periapt around thy neck, I’ll drag thee
Along the hyperborean, yet sullen,...

I Went To HeavenI went to heaven
Cherishing an opulent living in world,
anticipating a front seat in heaven,
I was made to believe that Yamraj will send
a white chariot taking best of souls up above,
Where Dharamraj with scroll of our work
will give a final verdict on ranking,
And pronounce...

Jeux D' EauUn bruit si plaisant
venez de la petite fontaine,
Je regarde dehors au-dessus du côté du balcon,
cinq histoires du sable mou ci-dessous,
au-dessus de la courbe douce de l'horizon,
au delà de ce que mon oeil peut voir,
un écoulement doux,
plinking et éclabousser,
vers le bas de la fontaine,
allumé avec...

La Guerre FolleLa guerre folingue a largué des bombes sur un cimetière
Les morts,trop absorbés à savonner leurs péchés d'hier,
Ont d'abord pris le bruit pour un tonitruant tonnerre
Nonchalants,ils ont campé dans leurs tanières
Ont eu une pensée pour ceux la haut sur terre
Qui jouillissant de tous arrivent à se...
