Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

Birds of variegated colors shine, where.streamlets gleam with opal sheen.

Unicorns Are Us
“Unicorns are Us”
You can only imagine
the furore

britches on brooms,

pacing around the room;
so all...

Sequel Swear It Was the MoonAn entire week I handled it-
The teasing and the taunting and

toward intimate situations
that allowed her free reign
to openly express herself.
After I gave her psychoanalysis
I found her to be only half-baked.

Lighthouse lamps and lanterns lolling…
Mute abandoned fleets are calling…
The shallow shadowed portholes vaunt dim...
