Legacy of the Green Monster
An odd green monster
Resides within the corner
Of my kitchen sink –
Mouth open,
Stomach rumbling,
Whispering feed me – feed me now -
Ready to receive scraps of wilted salad,
Spicy pie,
Pasta sauce and olive pits
With bits of Tuesday’s stew -
Not fretting when it’s musty perfume
Mingles with strawberries
Past their prime –
Banana peels -
Or
Tattered leaves swept from the floor
Dragged in on furry paws;
No sweet smelling new mown hay;
The useless and expired
Now expelled from the monster’s grip,
A smorgasbord of the over ripe,
The underdone,
The scorched and slightly singed
Mingling – Maturing -
Ever ripening in
A mountain growing by the house
To once again revive growth,
With discarded apple cores
And sweet potato peels -
This pungent bisque spread on sleeping garden beds
When springtime wakes the earth
From hibernation
Only to find tomato plants
Growing in the strangest places.

The following artfully crafted back in the day
(actually poetic endeavor presented below
written a few scant years ago) in response to
unexpected positive feedback received on
the most popular social media platform.
Unbeknownst to this unsuspecting witty mortal,

who resides within Bhutan, his dignified volition
accorded me magnanimity titled sage without any
influential collusion from Russians bestowed yours
truly with said honorably distinguished appellation,
which humility of mine humbly accepted without a
protestation, though never would I brazenly adopt
spiritual holiness, yet flattered to share such rare
pronouncements, when unsolicited feedback lobbed
in my direction (way before advent of Information
Technology Revolution) often tendered, kindled, and
belittled this gentle human, sans when bullies slung

susceptibilities conveniently converging to establish
this bruised Earthling ideal choice as scapegoat, no

months...a lifetime channel of opprobrious, noxious,
malicious emotionally demonic, cannibalistic, barbaric
abominable, damnable, horrible diatribes chipping
(dale lee) at what measly self confidence shielded
fragile psyche fast crumbling into grist for hungry

followed by a representative of Lepidoptera order,

with requisite oxygen), also training perturbation.

when distance cuts at love
confounding closeness
we grumble at Skype connecting
broken in its transmitting
togetherness that edges to confusion
turbulence in modernity
when we're unsure of what lies ahead
in slim rays of long distance longing
can love fall its way to slumber?
our chasm
settling in our lost sleep
life imperfect like the moon in pot mark littering
space junk
to trigger all our fretting
we sense where things are headed
with careers of solo plotting
no romp of a reunion, pending
lives that long a re-uniting are tangled
like Christmas tree lighting
no strategy for bridging this abyss
when the desire to live one's life
unencumbered
pushes all else aside
like pens tapping on a desk
restless in the waiting
I had heard about Cabbage Patch dolls, but now they are alive….
Growing in a garden near Winsted Ranch on Highway Five
They parted their leaves and began giggling when they were ready
Discovered last month by their benefactor, master gardener named Freddy.
He was fretting at the time about whether he could keep his farm going.
Not seeing at the time this is the way God had his future growing.
Now everyone and their partner wants a selfie with the Cabbage Patch dolls.
Freddy has made this into a destination place; he gets all kinds of calls.
Girl Scout Troops and Girls on the Run have him booked through twenty-six.
He has been able to pay off all of his debt, and is no longer in a “fix”.
Freddy is grateful to the Cabbage Patch dolls, he would like to keep them all.
“But we want to go with the girls!” They argue. This is their battle call.
"Ignition"
Magic sits with you
you wait and you listen
for messages from the other side
this is true
this addiction impressive
you write her your gift
you whisper words as you write,
she sees you, she listens
very close
always present
you can't see her, she's missing
you write him his riff
some ephemeral missive
he is in accord, in his truth, he is implicit
a ghost
sits with you
empathically diligent
you look at life
and wonder where it is
wiping away the tears
you cry
then you grieve
she sighs
phantom sighs
he looks over his shoulder
there is no one there
yet he smiles
passion fire reigns
in your hands
you hold it in close
to move all the wild horses
you whisper ever nearer
towards you
sentences,
corrals to be open
in all your fierce dreams,
you hold onto believe
wild creatures
can never be tamed
they must
of their own free will
come to you
they shall advance;
Love’s gift
always commands
picture this vision
the world lives inside you
asleep not yet risen
within you the dormant key
waits for its driver
it anxiously turns
like a fretting
child
in its sleep
woken
ignition
to drive off the plateau
no longer asleep
without fear of Love
into the
Deep

“Love of Strings” / Moby

“This is what I believe:
That I am I.
That my soul is a dark forest.
That my known self
will never be more
than a little clearing in the forest.
That gods, strange gods,
come forth from the forest
into the clearing of my known self,
and then go back.
That I must have the courage
to let them come and go.
That I will never let mankind
put anything over me,
but that I will try always
to recognize and submit
to the gods in me
and the gods
in other men and women.
There is my creed.”
D.H. Lawrence

All these insipid poems of Love
Love Lost….
Love Found….
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?
All this frantic fretting
nail biting and bed-wetting.
What is this profound poetic notion?
What is the source of this commotion??
All these romantic, rabid, ramblings, of Love
Love Lost..
Love Found…
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?
Palms pale and sweat,
brows furrow and frown.
All these horrid, hormonal, tizzies,
do little more than make one dizzy.
Love Lost…
Love Found…
Abandon this morose emotion
right this curse, set in motion.
And, if I may, let me suggest,
the route Narcissus took was best.
Love revealed…
Love found.
A love who’ll never let you down.
A love without product or prodigy
To fill the world with more dichotomy.
