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 Englishman" is my last token,
"cursive curtsies" for...

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 gentleman
Look down on neater blacks.
Beneath Death’s open garden
There nods...

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 we can feel them
Breathing, alerting
Their...

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 second-floor windowsills
Then on to rooftops lined with...

Haikus of the Night
The sun is setting
Slips into obscurity
Now it is twilight
Day’s last glow fades
Deep blue saturates the earth
Turning darker shades
Darkness approaches
Stars pop out by the minute
Twinkle, little star
Starkness now darkness
The landscape curtsies to murk
And thus takes its...

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 askew,
While time ties its...

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.
Unhandsome chin and rabbit ears so dull
But Alice charms before...

Dreaming In the Library
This genteel lady contemplates,
A pensive glance across each page.
Her book by choice; deliberates.
This novel from a bygone age,
A sad romantic love affair.

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 ribbons of Sage
Woven throughout with...

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 on the table
and wait for me to...

Fairy Constanza
Along bosoms of maiden moon
Embroidered wings adorn the pond;
As fairies sidestep from beyond!
Where curtsies in the forest bloom,
My breath abates until they gleam
Into the gentle trellis scene.
Soft flicker chases tinted June
When pixies wink for one...

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 surrenders
It is...

My Live Doll
I have a live doll.
She curtsies and twirls, dances.
Farts and says excuse me through a giggle,
Poops and pees,
Is anatomically correct.
Little blonde doll,
I comb her hair but it is always wild,
Sometimes I’d like...

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 stripes rising
from dormant burrows,
no longer afraid
of uncertain skies.
Invited pigment
revives,
ignited with
a tiger's pulse,
like your page
decorated in
heartbeat artistry.
My lungs...

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 beauty’s cycles.
Fulfilled by summer’s lust
she rests, sated in the dwindling
warmth of her spent...
