Shaken Up
SHAKEN UP
The vortex sucked
me into the globe.
shaken, distressed
pounding on the confines
of the glass.
the snow n-e-v-e-r stops.
Music lifts,
from the bowels
of this new world —
the humor of “it’s

Joey Alexander-More Than a Boy Genius

Arpeggios augmented, minored and majored
Transferring from one chord to another
Like flashes of lightning extracting emotional pearls
all from from such a young mind
One marvels how and from where...

Nature Reflects God - the Sun
Early in the day o’er in Eastern sky
Dawn comes, then sunrise =

Standing in the country garden
While the grass is moist with dew
Pink roses emit their...

Summer evaporates
its every molecule
It expands in fall
Renews in...

Past Anger Issues
The older I get the less that I fret
With my panties wadded up in a tizzy
As anyone could see I used to be
A mini-me of Dizzy Gillespie
