As green and sweet smelling as freshly cut grass	
out in a meadow in May	
Comes a tall little angel, bold as can be	
Striding out with a canter, comes A	
	
Following, galloping, alone and in pairs	
But always eager to please	
Red as fine poppies, perfumed as the rose	
We smile...

In “Words with Friends,” I want to howl
When playing while needing a vowel.
	Unless I choose “Swap”
	My chances will stop;
I might as well throw in the towel.

Yet sometimes I’m stuck with a glut
Of vowels – I have nothing but.
	I’ve nowhere to go;
	My points stay down low.
It’s...

I WILL CROON THE VOWELS
kneeling in church, arm around my angel girl.
my son’s propped up on pew, chewing gum.
the oldest tries to pray, the grownup way.
LIKE THE ANGELS DO
we belt out tunes for thirty minutes,
mama’s eyes closed, one eye strobe light blinking
quiet “sh sh” like...

Excitement enlightens elegance

Introduction of ignorance to an

Obligations obliterate opportunity
over optimism,
Unity underestimated and untowardly...

A five-year-old lad named Jeremiah
Told me he went to school in Ohio
   Claimed he knew all the vowels
   But then he howled a big howl
Said 'A,' 'E' -- 'Waaaaah' -- So I said "Try I-O"...

Ballet for Vowels

No eyes watch the vowel’s ballet
A masquerade dance for a, e, o or u
Graceful jettes, a happy heart chasses
To celebrate words for entrechat tendu.

Devant at the door an outcast of pas de deux
Begs for entrance to the ball ouvert -
As measured pas de...

Old MacDonald had a farm
With some noisy critters on it.
They mostly mooed, or neighed,
Or clucked, or brayed,
But some stayed
Resolutely mute,
I'm afraid.
It wasn't his equines,
Or bovines,
Or fowls,
Or anything lodged in his barns or corrals,
But a couple of rather recalcitrant vowels.
The "e" and the "i" and the...
