Israel Lowers the Boom on Iran
No one crows, no one gloats
no spin, no contrived quotes
Just a sober nation taking stock
of the world it just shocked

Jasprit Boom Boom Hurrah
Camera zoom...Boom - Boom shakes the room
All eyes on the prize
Rise & lies of franchise
Moolah the crueler ruler
Sparking doom and gloom
Marking Test cricket’s demise
If there is a golden ticket
Doing his bit to save it
King of swing..ping and kerching
Another out of orbit gambit
Harder to decipher than sanskrit
Sure fire hit…well it has to be Jasprit
Vortex vex…whippier…that

A Bambi Boom
Has anybody noticed the proliferation of white-tailed deer?
Recently, there have been so many running around here.
In order to obviate causing a collective bothersome fuss,
they roam at night to avoid contact with *****sapiens (that's us).
Deer seem to be playing chicken when they run in front of my car.
If they make contact, they certainly won't go

My Teacher Went Boom
Tick-tick.
We gathered, huddled tight,
Eyes to the screen, hearts alight.
There she was, her smile aglow,
"My teacher," I whispered, "is ready to go."
Tick-tick.
The engines ignite,
A pillar of fire, a streak of white.
Cheers erupt, "Go Challenger, go!"
Her voice still rings: "I'll teach you, I know."
Whoosh. Whoosh.
The rocket climbs,
Thirty seconds, sixty times.
She’s up there now, soaring high,
A teacher who

Bam Boom Bam Boom Boom Boom Boom Bam Bam!
The neighbors behind us have been celebrating the 4th of July
Since the twenty-second of June
Today is July fifth.
We had hoped they might be out of fireworks
No such luck.
Bam Boom Bam Boom Boom Boom Boom Bam Bam!
It sounds like two bottle rockets just exploded on our roof.
How many

boom decorates herself at Christmas time
Boom decorates herself as if she were a Christmas decoration
What kind? I asked, sugar cookies, divinity or another confection?
More like a tree, her hair is full of bulbs, all silver and such.
I think I would like to meet her I tell him, I mean very much.
You would! He says, for I am dressed as Santa’s

boom
plunged deep into
morning fire
smoldering dawn
burning my
dirty windshield
sweet
ribbon of highway
sprawled
beneath me
wheels churning
home
the long
long way
darkness
explodes
into day
and I'm
not quite
there
yet
but damn
it feels so good
to be this far
to be this close

Graduate Congratulated With a Counseling
To you, Geoffrey, congratulation
On your gladdening Graduation
Well-deserved: the standing ovation:
You are ready to serve your nation….
However, I fear, from your bedroom,
As you wait for the right job to loom!
Spurious has been the worshipped oil boom,
A compatriot leaning on it – Doom!
Now, to face it, one shapes one’s future,
Defeats a drag-me-down subculture,
Adds refreshingly to one’s stature,
Story

Dreams of a Boom
Dreams of a boom
shudders the heart
The wild crack of opportunity
where to appear
seamlessly not welcome here
Spent most of my days in a caravan
When it pours it never stops
A trouble cured
for a drowning man
Like a distant dream
His shirt is white
but he walks on stilts

petals open blooms
to bursts of noon sunshine wow
eyes sudden surprise
blasts of sweet fragrance
wander beneath sun and stars
to thrill the senses
fiery eruptions
in bold pops of rich color
spring came with a bang
