Death Bids Me Welcome

...Death bids me welcome
Into his tended garden
Where quiet plots of bramble clots
House names now long forgotten.

Engravings faded, darkened serifs 
Tower over brighter plaques 
Sooted over gen...

The Gate

..."By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find"
A scarecrow debates with the rust of his mind,
He’s stitched from the thoughts that the dreamers outgrew,
Wearing boots full of echoes and logic a...

Vermilion, Maybe

...A parrot, a toucan,
a horse’s head,
and a girl in red shoes
follow a manikin
walking like an Egyptian
into the room
where I used to dream.
None of them speak.
They just rearrange
the brushes...

The Animals They Talk

...Venus
Casts a tiny shadow
Upon the ghostly snow
From its candle held by an extended hand
Of a cloaked man
Who trips through the stripped trees

Follows the fresh trail of reindeer
To our seco...

Titled

...(This time I've quoted my own poem titles. Everything in quotes is a title.)


"Dear reader," again, this monolog persists.
We're no longer "sparring" with figurative fists.

"The blood of an E...

Degas Dancers

...** Degas Dancers **

Painted or drawn, 
Degas arrested time.
Truly
His dancers
— even those standing,
      watching the others —
Are caught in motion,
In poised postures such
That we think...

Proper Poetic Pose

...Cleverness curtsies to content....

Cursive Curtsies

...Cursive curtsies
greet your yearning
heart, unfurling
again after
winter's burden,
like a garden's
first crocus, a jolt
to the senses.
Lilac leaps from
monochromatic
monotony,
pickwick str...

Judgment of Own Writing

...From where I lounge, my muse curtsies
In reverence and sheer adulation ;
As eloquent verses bleed the parchment
Rippling on like an intimate tune:
Now, a spotlight flashes upon me
Hands ...

The Knot Garden

...~The Knot Garden~

Weave up and down, now in an out.
Where does it start?
Where does it stop -
The dance, this lively garden gavotte?

A circle of Thyme, like ladies fair,
Joined with royal r...

Something New

...The ballerina with her coquetry
and prince with yawning tights his legs stump me.

Her twirl a-spin with graceful poise so long.
The twaddle of his movements poor ping-pong.

Unhand...

Faded Farewell

...Faded Farewell


The lust has faded from the Red Maple.
She now stands, wallflower-like,
amid the climactic color
of New England’s reddened cheeks.
Stepping back, she curtsies,
acknowledging ...

Friendship

...When I see you, I will be in mood of happiness
When I am alone, I will feel that there is no one 
to entertain us.

You are the one who helped me in all my difficulties,
I will be thankful for a...

The Lonely Feather

...Elegantly it is ushered to the ground
Escorted by the warm currents surrounding it
It bows and it curtsies and it never takes "no" for an answer
Wanting to dance until the music of the moment surr...

     she is exquisite. 
Her partner in his patent leather
(potent lover) shoes is the perfect fit.
