Premium Member The Waitress

An overhanging fig picked fresh.
No pavements, just a nervous trust 
that drivers would skirt our single line.

Hugging the roadside with torches lit, 
Phones swung glowing to the ground...

Letter To Cornwall
do you remember this place by the ocean?
these coastal mornings with their Arena air
the wind from the crab dock almost strong enough 
to be swept away,
running from growling raccoons
randomly reading names on boats-

The way I...

A Liaison With a Young Biker Minster
I didn’t know what I would feel about Doug Gay, 
But I looked for a motorbike outside the church, 
To reinforce his black biker jacket and sociology, 
Which superseded church goers and that bunch.

HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 3
HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 3

Pretence lies coffined 
as Spring makes a call
early chincherinchees 
kissing late winter’s wind
knowing empty cupboards 
will be filled once more 
perceptions of another
timeline where artful
wiles and emotionless 
inserts receive...

A Haiku Anthology 03-31-2018

a waterfall... a  river
the cormorant dived

the mile high eagle

wildflower meadow
trampled... flattened by children
educate them now

take my hand... nature

A Free Fall Full of Horn Haiku
Reason For Raising and Praising a Razon

If you bring forth a thought 
To compare then you must wonder

Engine fecking screaming

Me racing them
Or just myself
Not ever stopping
After we collided

Something about movement
Positive insane velocity
I could drive
Surely the best

Crap limited cars

Do we take it or live in the past?
