Best Uncoils Poems

A black cloud dangles
Effortlessly forms
A haunting image
Showers travel east
Daisy hides her face.

A Robin sings
A melody
The sun appears
Once more she smiles.

Grass uncoils
Raindrops dry
Web retracts.

Sunset
Moon beam.

Stars.

Dead garden stalks lay bent and frayed.
The proud maple now stands undressed
In drifts of yellow against the fence.

No table round will ever square the thing.
All knights have equal access to the bread,
Even the stout are adequately...

Crayola colors swirling on the watery surface of Summer’s sweet dreaming.

Turtle cruises the reef,
turquoise warm in the sun;
tendrils of coral stretch to
sup filtered light.

Butterflyfish and Tang
intermingle amid coral polyps,
that are plentiful appetizers
for this party.

As sponges...

Raina, who lives next door,
is always tending
her garden after midnight, sipping
milagro straight from the bottle.

Once I watched her from my window, 
as she cut out...

Straight talk, he walks into her heart.
He speaks of submarines and such.
No one could keep their lips apart,
his handsome pair warm to...

It in now dark.
Talking of exposed genitalia
I go into a terrible shock.

A compulsive deceit
takes hold of the attention.
The candle burns me inside.

Between eyes

TOOT SUITE


Alas, as hunters treed their prey
envisioning the feast
gravied meal at end of day
sopped up in breaded yeast.

An ill wind blew
and no one knew
from where...
