This poem was inspired by the photograph titled, 'Running Legs,' by Lisette Model.

From the grassland; Han spoke quietly,
"Loved ones, we are...

I felt I’d been to hell and back before we reached the reedy flat,
where the cattle mobbed before we crossed the stream.

The Fairy In the Glen
She comes to me when e’er she will,
When starlight sprinkles my windowsill.
When the dew finds rest upon the grass
She taps upon my window glass.
I go outside to be with her,
To share a moment soft and...

Eaten By Ants - Part 2

and the stern requirements of partisan doggerel
the ringing coin toss bounced then came up tails
and fortune directed that the box be opened
gingerly gripped in two slender shaking hands

As I paddled the river Nile
I met a monstrous crocodile.
She smiled at me enticingly.
I smiled deferentially.
Through large white teeth to me she said,

A Change
Was this the face upon which,
Beautified innocence danced and danced?
How looks gazed, riveted untiringly!
The black lashes cast glimmering shadows,
In the dark deep blue glassy eyes;
As the reedy tufts along the...

A smell of...
