She Made of Me a Sea
I am the real sea
A tumultuous sea
One wave hits another
And that’s me
Waves sliding, edge
Of all the earth
Edge of my childhood
Look upon my birth
Whirlpools spinning bide
In my heart and my mind
Icebergs are
My gentlest thoughts
Whitecaps are
The spraying...

Words To the Olympian
XV.X.MMVll - Words to the Olympian
I've rode horses all my life.
The metaphor being,
my life's always been an uncomfortable unsmooth ride.
I'd watched my mom her entire life,
the Olympian,
that beared the torch,
like her sickness didn't...

Salad and Sudoku
Yellow chard stain index finger smears my logic puzzle,
Sour cream cilantro splatter quite the quaint “addition”
juicy brain pump lemon zest solution that I guzzle,
number crunching sea salt a spur to intuition
Roasted sweet potato has...

Twin Talents
Twins two headed, thy talents.
What on earth to say?
O kings majestic, paid rents?
Otherwise dismay!
Viralized infection?
Excuse means cut it out.
Downward thy direction?
Challenger lost his bout.
Ground, thy gold. First bought, then sold.
Polled and doubly old.
Warrior fierce, with...

Let Bygones Lie
Everyone harbors a tattered fleet of bygones in dock
Old scores and sores of direct hits we've sustained
In past long gone battles and tussles, well past o'clock
But held as bygone mementos, your slate unclean and stained.
Forgiveness...

Rye Flower Dance
Seclusion forms into a mountain,
Practice acceptance of my reflection,
Eye contact with the water of a fountain.
Time refuses to push forward if you stop counting,
Acting seconds out loud,
Life can never falter...

Part 2 Or In Other Words A Final Copy
Salt a gin and tonic,
It’s too dry.
Assault my temple with sin,
Be honest,
You like the rye.
Look me in my honest eye,
Conversations with myself are the fondest,
Because no one understands me...

Miranda Writes
Miranda has the right to write in silence--
Anything you say, she will use against you
because you're moving your jaw.
Come knock on the door of my friend
Tom Sawyer. Especially if you cannot
afford a real lawyer.
He'll be...

Do Sane People Have a Chance At Romance
How often have I asked myself this question
As I reflect upon my image in the mirror each fine morning
And wonder,
Who would want you, really want you
And wonder too if sanity might be an arrow in...

The Soup Needs More Salt... a Big One For Poetrysoup

How would some wealthy words just wander
Out of this world of wisdom and wonder?
And we don’t care to search for them in yonder

A Nip of Salt, a Red Chili and Some Mustard
Misfortunes mushrooming
from malevolent glares
are beliefs,
as common water hyacinth.
Eying me
drooping in dejection,
grandma takes a nip of salt,
a red chili
and some mustard,
locks her palm,
rotates her fist over my pate...

Spudly Love
Mashed potatoes are a drug
each bite tastes better than than the first
ladled in hot pork gravy
puddled in the middle of the dollop
and dripping slowly down the sides
soft and warm they slide down my throat

The Green In Mom's Happy Eyes
Winter never looked cloudy and gloomy
when I recalled spring meadows
as green as mom's happy eyes;
days could have no sun in gelid January,
nights could have no gleaming stars,
and yet her smiles imparted many joys!
Isn't life without...

Mangata
Reflection, a road leading to the moon.
The night rippled, waves crashing;
Ambiance so serene, nothing disturbed;
A mirror. A pure beauty, flawless stars
upon water spoke ever so honeyed to
the night. A calming of the storm.
Smell...
