throws herself on paper
reveals heart to strangers
throws herself on paper
identity unrevealed

throws herself on paper
fearless, bold, sensual
throws herself on paper
poet persona unknown to others

unbelievable to those who know her....

State Championship on the line.
Today I have been shooting just fine.
When I got the ball I yowled.
“The defender on me has just fouled”.
Two free throws just for me.
Will I make them?  We will see.
The first one bounces up and in.
Just one more and we...

slam it to me punk you think you’re so cool
this bald headed old fart will take you to school
you think you’re the first generation to revolt
if you read a history book you’d know that’s a joke
yes that’s a joke
go ahead punk – take a poke

My  soft, pale, aching skin melts into the white african sands,

My longings for you dissipate into salty sea winds, 

Carried to you somewhere in the cold mountain lands.

The heat I create beats the scortching of this sun, 

I could melt all the snow on...

I can almost guarantee that this little poem will put a smile on your face by the time 
you get to the end of it:


He said he loved her and then she gained some weight
Sixty pounds worth
He said he’d love her more and she would...

It's four a.m. you are sound asleep
when you are awakened suddenly
at first it is a small vibration, then 
turns into a house shaking event

You scramble to find purchase on the floor
but you can't seem to find balance
you hear the crashing of pictures
as they fall from...

Mr. Pickle threw 
A lavish pickle party
Inviting all his friends
Dill, sour, kosher
Spears and even halves
Seeing that the party
Was off the chain
Some uninvited guest arrived
With thirst and hunger
In their eyes, 
They were humans!
Who tried to eat the pickles
But the pickles fought back
Dill rows around on the...

pleasant lovingly
a menacing girlfriend calls
despite the pebbles

shining lovable
a toss, active sticks throwing
in spite of the stones

horrible break-up
now no longer together
despite the pebbles

 Enraged winter ocean
Mighty anger displayed
Neptune has lost control
Howling winds whip up waves
Fearful for sailors' souls.

 Enraged winter ocean
Turbulence ongoing
Neptune is clearly mad
Manic ocean tantrum
Watching in warm clothes clad.

 Enraged winter ocean
Boat battles angry sea
Fanatical Neptune
Rout under soulless sky
Storm rages at high noon.

 Enraged winter...

Its spring time
When beauty is released
Like a hand stitched
Patchwork masterpiece
Nature shows off
Her spring time finery
Spread like a throw
Over all you see...

Dawn separates light from shadow;
penciling in all shades of grey.
And crimson skies are set aglow
as scarlet sunbeams color day.
Shifting shadows
flee Night's death throws.

Sol's splendor slowly starts to show;
and ebony scuttles away.
Artists like Michelangelo
use light and shadow interplay.
Child of the sun;
shadows are one....

Gather around, its time for another story,
It comes from my youth, back to the days of glory.

I was always asking the questions that no one seemed to understand.
It was apparent the only way to handle this was resort to the land.

At this point it was...

Poetry prances into my dendrite field, taking charge,
Taking over, taking me hostage
Perhaps I want to paint today, I tell her.

She scoffs. Smacks me lightly on my brain stem.
Makes fun of me.
Calls me names.

I am not in the mood, I tell her, prissily.
Convincing no one.
Least of...

     If Pearl misbehaves
     throws fits, rants and raves
     What of the parents who raise her

     If Johnny can’t read
     or do simple math

Dreams are the essence of life
Life is void without dreams

Whatever life throws at you 
Pursue your dreams with determination 

Hold onto your dreams with ruthless tenacity 
Hold onto your dreams no matter the challenges 

Cause the road to success is not paved with gold
It is...
