A sonneteer’s palace, for the sagacious or the absurd
A silver chalice that pours golden poetry

though pretty enough
Her gait charismatic
with looks to rebuff
He wanted to stop her

He Cut His Hair on My Watch
...My little brother cut his hair on my watch
I decided to fix it, the best I could do.

My Prescription
...Your prescription is ready,
The pharmacy wrote.
Reminders were steady,
Each day a new note.

He may be royal, but he is a ding-dong-ding-a-ling.

And perhaps a huge snafu,
But the ways we bo...

It's not a skill I wish to acquire.
If stuck I'm always going to hire..
