The Fiddler's Cat...An ebon sky, darkness to light
Diamond stars, mosaic night
Bright lunar sphere of brilliant white
Floodlights a scene of will and might.
The Fiddler’s Cat, sips warm Bordeaux
Fiddle to chin, str......

Punctuation Crisis...Un-nerved by formal sentencing assemblies,
Marks and Words, bound by conjunctive amenity.
The tried beliefs that short cuts speed words into action.
Made stuffy Old School feel out of fashion.

Obese...Now, I am not a huge man
I'm not large by any means
In fact it is surprising
I still wear normal jeans
My pants don't have elastics
I still use normal towels
But, my BMI stats tell ......

Optimistic Orange...Memories accumulate with each passing year
Some dark with troubles, some marked with cheer
I would rather stay focused on the smallest of things
For these are the ones I can keep in control

The Tears of Stars...I marvel at the tears of stars
that loudly blush as they pass Mars
Toward earth they fall in streams of dust
on cosmic winds that swirl and gust
No doubt it seems a madman’s tale
a rotund li......

The Spirits of the Parrots...SPIRITS OF THE PARROTS
Two parrots, one red, one blue,
share one large, rotund zoo cage,
just the two of them.
There are plenty of perches,

Charm School...CHARM SCHOOL
They found two heavy charmed quarks,
the other one, straight up for larks.
One up and two splendidly rotund,
you ain't heavy, you're a baryon.
A poised new baryon in inner s......

Seasons of Change...Oak no longer wears verdant cape
Which clings to each branch rotund shape
Upon each branch in shapely pairs
Verdant cape oak no longer wears
A tinge of frost, lands and touches
'Po......

Ode To the Turkey...Oh thee! Of feathered frock
Bird of paradise – thee are not
For you wobble when you walk
And gobble – gobble - while you talk
Oh thee! Of stubby legs
Neck hanging in a bag
Of skin that sags ......

Ham Versus Hog...Let me tell you a story
From a time gone by
The tale of a greedy butcher
And a pig that could fly
In the little village of Piddle Brook
There lived a butcher named Mr.Ham
He was bearded, bulky, and ......

500 Days...When first I swayed her eyes a perfect round,
With hair that fell so circular and dark.
Spherical girl -- not rotund or fat-bound,
With curves that flow in wide expanse of arc.
By dawn the nigh......

Resolutions...Last year I resolved to lose some weight
To be more careful in filling my plate
It lasted three days
Then back to old ways
Next year I’ll just accept my so rotund fate….
I don’t think New Ye......

Body Image...Sometimes studying the mirror I'm overcome with chagrin
Feeling disappointed by this shell I'm dwelling in.
With my slightly too thick midriff there above my underwear,
I'm more the rotund apple t......

The Pirate and the Princess...Alas morning has come,
the treacherous storm has passed
Anticipation heightens my senses as the wind swirls past,
The essence of musk engulfs me;
Replacing the aroma of sea salt that once fille......
