It seems like just the other day
Our pup, Shadrack, did pass away;
And altho’ they never seemed like friends,
My old cat, Jorg, knew Shad had met
   his untimely end.

He mourned his loss every day
And...

The goddess we call Aphrodite
Is not just an old Grecian deity.
  The Phoenicians did make
  Her a map. It's not fake.
Her body is cartograffiti.

The Punic war destroyed her face, 1
The Romans left nary...

Mirror Mirror everywhere
Large Small and Pale
None it spares from the critiques of its glare

A lovely oaken doorway
in an old creaky shop;
I stepped through one day
and saw a bunny hop.

A sleeping faun
lay upon a rock,
in hours, predawn
he wore a red frock.

By his side lay golden panpipes;
the daisies had lulled...

I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.

Make me a star-gazy pie
Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the China...

A year has passed. The dark clouds still loom.
 From the sea voyage, harsh winter, disease, and doom.
 The Mayflower set sail 102 Pilgrims aboard,
 55 have went on to be with the Lord.

Letters congeal, to words.
Words anneal to sentences,
which tell a story,
painted as images,
imagined in the mind's eye,
trying to emulate what
the eye sees briefly,
on the see-saw.

A glint of sunlight,
caught slanted and sharp
on windowpane reflected,
stabbed in pain
with shad...

political prostitution
not stable 
not even with their 
words nor 
actions 
they got no vision
for the people 
is just about business
yet we pay the 
price of their games

political prostitution
not reliable
never keep to 
his words 
his action...

Though sometimes I really don't get it

How high could it possibly rate

Swimming around...

Turtle so slow
Has emerged from below 
How does he breathe down there
Without any air
Don’t ask me how
At least not just now
I’m feeling a bit peckish
And could stand a nice fish dish
Earlier, I saw some bass
Hiding...

Each year tumbles wrinkled leaves before the snow 
Slow in the morning to rise higher
Shad covers mortality below
Cracking branches show maturity
Limp on the timber twigs
Lingering still beneath cold bark

as a breeze without tracks
in the dew of a fresh mowed lawn;

But days come without warranty,
of things starting right,
remaining that way;

For soon after sunset
this breeze had metamorphosed
into a locomotive,
following a northeasterly path,
its only...

Tackle box, fishing poles, radio, a good book to read
In a quite little alcove , the back outskirt of Lake Mead
The desert sun burning the sky, I’m comfortable in the shadow
I see the shad chumming...
