Mermaid's Milk: a Collaboration With the Still Dashing David WilliamsThe moss clung tightly; making it unbearable to breathe,
and she sealed her lips tighter than a clam’s— not letting the pain take over
As the stars drift silently, like ships on a lost sea of darkness,
she whispers to Hope:
“Swim free and look for the...

We Went On the Boat - a Sonnet For DavidIt was our pride and joy, that boat...our prize.
We'd sail to Key West every year in fall,
After summer downpours left the noon.
We made our pact there as we both had suffered
from the plague ungluing all our lives.
Now, I'm here next to his pallid body -...

David, I Just HeardDavid, I just heard you'd started writing poetry,
so it made my day to get your rhyming note -
the first time in this school a note's been passed to me.
I always wished a boy like you would like me too.
You're smart and cute . I want...

Salvador Dali - Moments of Transition - collaboration with David Kavanagh
Barren ground, (un)familiar shapes
From restless dreams I try to wake
A picture forms but cannot decide
How to assemble my truth and lies
Butterflies perch upon the lion's mane
I escape from its jaws just to go insane
Entering wagon wheels disguised as pens
Only to draw from sand, more REMs
Beyond...

The Star of DavidThe Star of David
I took a brisk hike on my street,
To meet with a few neighbors and
have eggnog and sumptuous treats.
What lovely lights sparkled in wine country,
everywhere!
Santa on Porches,reindeer galore,
Talking snowmen, said, "Hi, there!"
Wreaths on household doors.
I wrapped my wool scarf around my head..
Then I...

Michelangelo's DavidMichelangelo’s David
Extol the grace of mortal man
fashioned by Buonarroti’s hands.
What priceless handsome figure made,
the youthful David, bold and brave.
A statue of a human form,
anatomized, perfectly norm.
Giant, quarried, pure white stone,
shaped in fashioned style of Rome.
Standing, heroic, nude male,
ready to take on huge assail.
Pure wisdom and...

And not a verse, or line
No limerick or witty fair
No Haiku or Hitachi or Kyoto flair
Left with no choice
No new material to feed
We must come up with those albums
Of compilations indeed

To David the One With a Lion's HeartTo David …. The One With A Lion’s Heart
I never knew you...
At least this side of eternity…
In a way though….
I did know you….
I recognize your heart…
I know the pain of the struggle…
To keep one’s head above water…
Trying not to drown amidst the pain…
Tired of going...

Star of David
Ah!
These
stars, for
they all seem
to wedge the whole
nighttide tract of our perpetual sphere's vaulted ceiling, that
lingers on their ambiguous tethered strings, consumed
by a grand dark expanse beyond where imagination
lays their vast secrets, and inspirations dares a
peek, while aspirant...

Plea of DavidDavid was an artist - before you and me
A Jewish psalmist - famous for Ps. 23
Various prayers had been sung, by Moses
In particular, psalm 90: before Time itself
David's God had been our Provider
Showing us faithfulness, generation by generation
Prove me, said David, but with Mercy
LORD, I...

DavidDavid, you mean the very world to me and more
Can you forgive me?
You brighten my days when I am low and dead
And you listen—you always are there to listen
Bearing all things, you let me cry on your shoulder
You comforted me when I was scared to...

David Must Pay Less Attention In ClassAnd from the tree of knowledge, a serpent slid into view
He’d seen it all before, our future he already knew
Moses on some mountain, taking down the tablets god drew
Jesus climbing Calvary, being mocked by fellow Jews
Later history repeats, Galileo scanned the sky...
