Nine hundred seven
The end of summer
With apples lying thickly
Under the apple trees
And the smell of Autumn
Covering the grass
Filled with ripe yellow
And orange squash
He was born in a little
Wooden house...

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient EgyptianPoetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian
This terror and threat to poetic clarity,
Becomes a pet rock for some poets.
Words do count for sure, but so does
Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

pass him by -

Personified Lighted CandlePERSONIFIED LIGHTED CANDLE:
Come on, I'm strong and edified.
No one can hold me in detention for getting them defied.

At times feeling as a eunuch who was unable to change anything,
In zenith of toxicity as miasma on a cold misty morning.

Art is abstract
Abstract like mankind
Abstract is the mind
Mind is no Gestapo
Mind is...

The Scariest Stanza In All of PoetryNumerous number systems beyond the real:
complex numbers, octonions, omnions which can eat whole black holes.

Dining WithoutWhile ambling down the boulevard,
I spied a swanky canopy.
As member of the avant-garde,
The classy bistro suited me.
When greeted by the maitre'd,
I nonchalantly said, "Just one."
He smiled and nodded graciously.
My gourmand venture had begun.

Turned over in tumultuous caverns of repressed understanding
Unbound suddenly as spring leaves answer a...

we took a flat-bottomed boat
and swam it up the Thames.
Douglas the middle-aged queer

Jenny in a canvas chair,...
