Kitchen Band

...

     Whoosh! Swish! Clang!
     It's the six o'clock kitchen band!
     Whoosh of paper towels off the roll.
     Swish as broom threads brush the floor.
     Clang as pots put on to boil!

trying to toss my cookies

...I tried to toss my cookies, but they all ran back.
Their high top boots made a clickety clackety clack
Leave me alone! I yelled, as one jumped on my back.
I could not shake this high top, his name...

The Brownie Brigade

...The brownie brigade trotted around the block.
Marching with their feet going tickety dickity dock.
I listened to their shoes going click click click.
The loudest one was my own browine, little Nic...

Welcoming Goats

...Standing atop a blade of grass
Closing in toward the edge
Beard balancing a dangling ass
As it looms over the edge

Danger heeds below the passers by
Unknowing underneath the eave
A lightly pl...

A Piece of Cake

...
Clickety clackety
Queen Marie Antoinette
"Cake let them eat", she said
When they'd no bread

Due to her callousness,
Improvisational

Hank's Double Exposure

...'Neath the mountain, on river bends bank 
Paw prints left...where old grizzly drank 
A canoe, missing a plank 
Abandoned...near it sank 
My mind, to be frank 
Clackety clank 
Drew a blank 
I t...

Miracle Implant

...you got a brain in there you're reading this
when's the last time you found yourself using it
 to continue assembling the puzzle pieces
in the proximity of an existential grievance
minus the usua...

My Clickety Clackety Mind

...My mind goes clickety clackety
Down yesterday’s track.
I chase it hard to slow it down.
And possibly bring part of it back.
It spits in my face,
And kicks my shins.
With my imagination in full ...

Unseen Yet Known

...I may not see the Wind,
But I know it's there.
I see it in a shaking leaf
The moving clouds
The empty soda can as it
Clackety clacks down the street.
I feel the Wind as a Summer's breeze
I see...

Thunder

...[Stanza 1]
I DID NOT know your name when we met on the train
destinations like ghosts who have lost their bodies
Onward we road the rail with thunder and destiny

[Stanza 2]
each way station a ...

Absorption

...Leaving a darkened space
Dumbfounded amazement at the scene
Feel the absorbing fabric of self and place

Brightness consumes, permeates
Mind becomes
Light is simultaneous thought, so ceasing

My Thunderous Wondrous Electric Toy Train

...It was shiny and bright sitting under the tree.
There were other things there, but that's all I could see:
a Lionel toy train on a circular track!
The caboose was maroon and the engine was black.

Orphaned Slab

...Orphaned Slab 
         by Odin Roark

They call me a foundation
once supporting siding and stone
wire
plumbing
shingles

Through the doors of my house
trailed family and friends
across kitchen floor...

Okay But What Do I Say?

...The poem you wrote missed my heart
it had no words of emotional chew.

After reading the words, what could I say
you'd said them all but they added up to okay.

When I slithered over the alphab...

The Can Man

...Furiously peddling the bicycle
The man is dwarfed
By the huge clear sack
On the bikes' back
Now swaying as it goes around the corner
Filled with brightly colored cans.

On another day he is se...
