Staying at the western brink of the sky
The Sun opens his fiery third eye
A red tint abruptly colours the sky
With chiffon clouds floating high

As bright dots in the blazing light,
Birds are seen on their return flight
Eager to be back in their nests to alight
Down they...

There was an optician somewhat blind
Whose patients found him easy to malign.
So he gave rose-colored glasses
A move that calmed the masses.
Now his practice has become sublime....

Cassiopeia reclined on her cosmic beach,
Longing for Orion so out of reach.
He was showing off to the stars,
As he spiked the Moon over Mars,
Wondering what next Venus would teach....

S prawled beneath a line of stars, bright
P ulsating in varnished luster
E ndless jewels gleam, to ignite
C radled breaths as skylines flicker,
T eetering on mid evening’s hue...
A nd neon fireworks dash in a glide,
C lusters waltzing in blazed revue
U nmatched by shadows that divide;
L ight...

I knew him before they shackled him to chair
I contend, none knew him better than I
He's tall, charming, quite an elegant air
An athlete lissom, a kite in the sky
What happened you asked, what so deformed him
Crippled his independence, left him ill?
The doctors said osteo-arthritis
But a...

Statues orate
snow white odes
Lilies loquate
lavender soliloquies
Alyssum applauds
with purple passion
in summer's soft breeze 
Aquamarine asps
slither
on a swimming pool
beside bougainvillea
reaching
over ivory urns
to toss
fuchsia coins.

The second coming of Jesus coincided with the World Cup game, 
But no one noticed him as he had no expensive merchandise bearing his name. 

People were flocking en masse to the stadium, with it bright lights and 
pyrotechnics galore, 
And Jesus with his long...

Deep ocean darkness
lucid stars as small fireflies
splendor of midnight

When they seek out God, they open a book.
There is no further that they need to look.
By the contradictions they are not vexed.
They meet in groups to memorize the text.
Discrepancies don’t enter their held minds. 
They don’t look deeply enough for new finds.
They think that...

Specks on the window look like seagulls.
Almost as though flying eagles....

My green autumn, you goaded me to write.
I love the way you sparkle, shake, and hurl.
Conquering my mind day and by the night,
Always musing about the shorn kiss curl.

Let me approach you with a square crowbar.
You are more snowy, magnetic, and bright.
Light storms whisk the...

You tainted glass and filthy smut
Why is it that you're in this rut?

You write and write and still don't improve
So why do you say, "I'm a writer, it's true!"

I spit at your feet for this pitiful prose
You're a no good imbecile, and everyone knows

A disgrace...

Just had my tea 
Turned off the Christmas Tree 
It is sad to see it go 
Back to storage I know 

But there is a three-day weekend break 
And two Championship meetings at stake  
American National Conferences will pick their reps 
For the Big...
