Chicken Chuck Chiggers chose chances of Chow
Changing curly curd curiosities that happened now
Clamping clogging cleats, classifying clones of mad cow
Colorado’s colorful colonists commanding condos of wow
Crusty cramped crullers creeping in craggy crevasses so
Crispy cartooned crestfallen consonants following below
Caroling cartons carefully consternating as catfish grow
Christmas card carolers confusing craggy-topped snow.
Confusing collars commanding colorized classification
Creating confident compact colonel’s consternation
Colliding converse comparisons in curious colorization
Commanding calendars corduroy in cellophane colonization
Remind me of magical things
Enhance my joy, my being alive,
Tiny newborn babies who thrive
Precious jewels in golden rings,
Canvasses of sentient colors
Starlit skies of deep velvet hue,
Morning grass, shimmering dew
Fresh powder-sugared crullers,
Tiny bouquets of fever few
Bows of ribbon in curly hair,
Ballroom dancing with a flair
Old cards reminding me of you.

SUNDAY COMPANIONS
Coffee and Dunkin Donuts.
Love the ones with cream —
Chocolate and vanilla
or Bavarian.
Tasty French Crullers.
Jelly too.
Mmm!
7/13/2018
It was so abrupt!
"It must have been lust," they say.
It was a whirlwind.
Obscurant, untamed
Spirit and human nature
With tornado strength
Willed inhibitions
As an announcer calls out
Colors in Twister.
Suddenly! It stopped.
We fell upon each other.
Butterfly effect...
A season of love
Caused a season of hatred.
The funnel cloud left.
Remains of the day
Accounted during clean up
Made crumbs of crullers.
It was too abrupt!
"It must be lust," they all say,
To yield to the wind.
