Best Walrus Poems

       Enlighten me please 
     why windows are solid
           yet transparent

Why the moon shines even as

The Walrus, he is an ugly brute, 
Made entirely out of rubber, 
Lounging on the shore all day, 
Like discarded old whale blubber.

To come

I live
In this fantasy of hope
That things go
Just the way I want them to

If I could...

Length of a yardstick, new and store bought
Females' tusks are much longer; they serve as teeth
Sharper than a copper dagger in a leather sheaf...
