Best Toweled Poems

I don't know what came over me that day - an instant of weakness after years of resistance, I suppose.

My beaming spouse leads me, a dog on a short leash, into the forbidden citadel, the sanctum sanctorum of feminine fastidiousness, the dreaded nail salon.

As we...

Sunscreen could not save our skin,
as dressed in skimpy swimsuits, 
we splished and splashed that afternoon,
so happily slapping the water of the sun-kissed glistening sea,
splattering each other with its salty taste.

Afterward, we swam out into the swell of its waves,
surrendering ourselves to the surges
of the...

I commend you, my ethereal love:
you’ve forgotten me so well
My name was written with invisible ink
on your heart
Erase ... evaporate
Our love was steamy mist on the bathroom mirror,
and you took a dry toweled tear and wiped it away
I ask you, were we so easy to...

shower shoes sloshing, soapy, slippery,
and teeming with colossal cleanliness,
                                    ...

I gasp

Morning is cold.
I outstretch my arm in empty reach.
I gasp.

I listen for the miracle: the shower
door closing behind him.
I gasp.
 
I wait for my toweled Rodin and
the whistling kettle.
I gasp.

I’m not sure if can get up today.
My breath returns and I robotically rise,
Gasping.

Speak to me with kisses, whispers she
Awaiting her towards me, I'm now prowled 
Temptress this tigress now visions thee
Naked to bare, touching skins, toweled
Quenched lips adorned in kissing spree
Limbs like ivy never creep amidst love
Such caressing engulfs torso's aplomb

Upon me she resides bodies now thrive
Nails...

"Suddenly you remember an old Chinese tale in which cats once ran 
     the world until they decided it was too much bother.  That's when you 
     stepped in, another story.  Say you get up...

We have a small pooch Zoe and there’s this dance she does
When the bathrooms steamy, the tubs all sudsy and drains is fill with fuzz
First, she gets these crazy eyes while the soap drips from her ears
Then her body starts to shake as she’s turned...

I lit every candle on your birthday cake
But I didn’t realize how long it would take

And when I got back to where I had begun
The first one I’d lit could no longer be found

So I started over and lit them in pairs
But that made no...

An horrific situation happened in a country town.
The districts big employer has closed their factory down.
Twenty men had lost their job; the town had lost its soul.
Not one man was happy about going on the dole.

An application by the council for a grant would surely...

My pants were soaked, my coat a’drip,
My boots were saturated;
With sheets of rain that sliced the sky,
I really should have waited.

The puddles on the corners
Most resembled roiling lakes.
Though I had an umbrella,
This was one of my mistakes.

I turned around before I even
Reached my destination,
The knowledge...

I toweled off my tear soaked face
and stitched my heart back into place,
I tallied up my circumstance
and then I took a ship to France

  I boarded early after noon,
I think it was a night in June
I went below because of rain,
and when I came...

TOMORROW

    t'would lift
                   me up in the honey dew
the sky dripping with golden refrain     t'would
  also be a Friday

chill blue skies of March —
my eyes sing “Hallelujah.”
reborn! hurray!                     toweled,
three ivy-wrapped             ...

I overdrew my bank account.
Then told the bank to print more money to cover it.
They told me there was no interest in doing that.
I suggested a moratorium on pursuing the matter.
They suggested I not write any more checks.
I told them I was drowning in debt.
They...
