It’s extraordinary how many seek high praise
With the words they say…with the actions they fake…

Neither will I…

And blooms...

Am I the insane boy and you the sane individual?
I held on for dear life as I sky dive in my mind's eye...you're the light bulb and I'm the silly fly
You are being the flawless...

When Da Liu put me to work crunching hexagrams and...

But each time I try to
I remember that...
I am just a girl and what you want

Someone who will bear you an army 
of
strong men

He used to kill squirels and sometimes my cats
But...

When our eyes first met, in an evening's glow of twilight
the moon was rising, the world disappeared
I saw only you
we enjoyed a calm gentle merriment
as love's breath crossed the unmeasurable distance
where we found a glistening...

How men are all dogs and we're only out for one...

He studied folks both here and from abroad.

To the proud parents, Anna and Theo
A serious lad, silent and thorough
A clan of preachers
And dealers of art
From the southern Netherlands came Van Gogh

When sent to school, he did not want to go
The separation led...

I woke up at the break of dawn,
with the feeling that all hope is gone,
I was not sure where to begin,
but I was determined to win.

No dazzling stars,
no visible  moonlight,
no chirping birds, 
to tease...

Like a departing lover engages you with a kiss!

smile upon charming, charming patterns of heads.
All colors of hair, lit red, then green, then blue,
guided along invisible paths, crown heads
perspiring, chanting and glancing down
on marching, mechanical arms, then...

Delusions are taking over,
Pulling me apart piece by piece,
I don’t know who’s telling me what,
I don’t know who’s lying,
I can't tell what I'm really feeling,
This fantasy I've conjured up,
The...

I dedicate this poem to Thomas Cunningham,
who I admire for the tales he tells in poetry form.
