like his glasses resting atop an
unfinished crossword
and his toothbrush in its holder
the bristles still damp.
And I wonder...
Did he brush his teeth...

Barbershop QuartetOld Mr. Nicholson
totters across the town square
to the barbershop where
Clive has cut his hair
for the last forty years or so
Not hardly needing
even a trim
but pretending
he has a reason besides
the gossip waiting within
Inside, the shop smells...

Diagnosis: CancerSmooth, mapped roads
intersected with red-eyed
nights, quivering
nerves, fists pounding air.
A nightmare
descended as a phantom
snaking black shadows into
ebullient corridors
of light.
A hulking foe crowded his way in
uninvited.
Sun rose with belly chuckles,
banners,...

That resembled the 'one-hug' position
Arms wrapped around her disoriented and confused body
Pulling her skin covered torso into the black sheath
To her demise and surprise
Her situation was on the path to...

But they did not understand

of lives and dreams turned to dust,
of a childhood lying...

Cowgirl Up
Pitching a leg across the nether
Of a pretty appaloosa or possibly
A chestnut bay who needs to know
That she’s being ridden by someone
Who will take her through the paces,
Strides both gentle and regulated

When Sheep Play Poker"A straight! Two-three, five-six and eight,"
but Mildred bleated, "Ain't no straight;
you, Alice-ewe, are one dumb rump."
Bright chortles burbled round the stump
till Jingles raised, "Two straws of hay,"
too rich for Fay-Fay: "I can't play,
though, know...

Quoth the RavenQuoth The Raven
Under frosted blankets lay
On crispy frozen petals,
Sipping hearty beverages
Of dandelion and nettles,
As I gasp on misty chortles
Reflecting in an icy puddle,
Deathly spirits reminisce
Outside my winter huddle.
Snow, snow, she hath no gold
To pave...

An Okie's LamentOh, America,
my beloved America.
The world owns your soul,
and chortles as catastrophe comes.
Bartered was your legacy,
for riotous living,
and pottage no longer gratifies
your innards cravings.
Terrorist lambaste your innocent,
and spread false doctrines.
Fear and anxiety hold you captive,
casting foreboding...

Prayers Find MePrayers Find Me
1-22-'17
Grinning with a sugar tooth vibrant
Groove me through the soupy mist
Standing here in Life and Tonight
Here on the ledge of This:
Standing here, heart thrumming.
Dire cascades collapse away,
Prayers find me everywhere through this day,
There's...

EulogiesAt funerals, we listen as
The anecdotes are shared.
Some speakers prattle off the cuff
While others are prepared.
The congregation laughs when tales
Embody the deceased.
Those chortles let the tears subside
As tension is released.
As relatives and friends reflect,
Each listener...

Villanelle For BeautyBeauty chortles forth a frabjous,
interrupting static sanity,
Misheard through ears abstruse.
Boojums guised as proper
Cast labels fathoming blind vanity --
Yet, beauty chortles forth a frabjous.
They are the true Doctor
Jekyll’s -- hiding the reality
Misheard through ears abstruse.
Bolt nothing...

Chortles and ChucklesA magic elixir for the heart,
a good laugh helps you survive.
For when the effervescent smiles start,
laughter keeps whimsical thoughts alive.
A contagious outrageous feeling,
laughter begins with grunts and hisses.
And ameliorates any dealing,
like a bouquet of hugs...

Summer Evening In a BazzarAdorned in summer lights,
Vehicles honk away,
Like an ocean stirred by rain,
The bazzar begins to bustle again.
Familiar aromas fill the streets,
A rainbow of fruits proudly staged,
Lassi and chaat among the favourites,
The musty evening is such...
