Little ers
there is no one this poet hate more than
those little ers with power in their hand
who would do nothing but sit back and watch
as the world continues to burn in the fire
there is no one this poet hate more than
those little ers with hands full of money
who sold their soul to build the empires
that run

QUACK-ERS
Twas the night before Christmas, I finished the trees.
And feeling good cheer, I'd drank a few beers.
The treats I'd laid out didn't last very long.
As I found myself snacking, I knew that was wrong.
Then, later in bed, I awoke with a start.
And realized the reason: my own noisy fart.
Like sounds of ducks quacking, my

A Comb-edy of Hair-ers
My dear brother Butch,
Hair are the highlights of my week:
I got a job at the Hairway to Heaven salon!
Our motto: "We color your hair or dye trying"
When the interviewer said "I mustache you a question..."
I answered, "May I mullet over?"
Seriously, working there is a shear delight,
with some nice fringe benefits
They're a real cut above

April Show-Ers
I was a zealous meteorologist, which I had been for a long time,
As the roving years work diligently, to create a very fine wine.
So content in my fond vocation, many deemed me tops in my field,
As golden sunshine streams from above, causing nature to yield!
Weather had long allured me, and I found its patterns riveting,
Like

Worry-Ers of the Past
Worry-ers of the Past
Tears subside into sleep
Sleep subsides into Death
Arms wide open to receive you
Down in its murky depths
Frozen but aglow with warmth
Rivers of a salted sash
Meander on my face like yours
Flag us forever
As worry-ers of the past
We sink you and I
Dead, but still breathing
Dead and domineering
Afraid of our power
Burnt from shadows and feeling

The Exuberant Laugh-Ers
No one laughs as loudly or as exuberantly as a child
from the ghetto or the barrio.
I know, for I have worked with children
from a ghetto for six years, and from a barrio for five.
They have learned to laugh with absolute pure flat out sugar joy.
Their excited piercing scream-laugh can go from

Prayers and Pray-Ers
sestets with tail rhyme
Prayers to ponder – the seventeenth of John.
Prayers for Himself – “God, glorify your Son.”
Prayers take time
Prayers for his disciples – “God, make them one.”
Prayers for us – generations unborn.
Prayers take time.
Pray-ers ask, but they listen to God too.
Pray-ers confess sins, profess faith anew.
Pray-ers make time
Pray-ers think and thank, praise Jesus
