The pricking needles of cold stars and hoarfrost 
hypnotizingly sparkling in the dense crispy air,
a half-sky pearl hallo crowns the dead mercury-liquid Moon;
violent blizzards have been finally superseded by severe frost.
Grasses are peacefully sleeping under...

In my sweat I am drowning
My passion is the coast ward soaker
Off the beaten path resounding
What could there be more purely mediocre?
I was a weather forecast and you a gale

In my tears I'm crying, I...

How I miss Spring with showers supreme
rainy weather kept everything green
But now it's June in the summer heat

I work deals, like it's Black-Friday, I'm far from broke
I can't help but make the girl proud and gay
Want some of my time, like...

Like a frightened little boy
But I got some news for them

Adieu April


Adios you soggy segue
nature’s mud pie maker
roof top drummer
dog soaker
puddle teaser.

Au Revoir
cool breathed friend
easing the ice from its depths
cajoling the worms
play peek-a-boo
with the Robins.

Bon Voyage old vagabond
titillating transient
instinct whisperer
spring’s pheromonal scent
arousing dormant need.

Farewell

Summer's sun at noon is a wilting torture,
scorches earth and withers the flowers' faces.
Breath to whistle shrinks away, throats athirst are
choking for nurture.

Dessert's climate visits Missouri's surface,
cries for rain are shared by all earthly feeders.

defining the coconut, is misplaced,
for it’s not truly a nut,
but botanically, a drape.

holds the fruit, the...

Holding off the summer heat
To lay in wait behind the hedge
Then beat a hasty wet retreat.

Super soaker weapon of choice
Beneath the scorching summer sun
Secret cache given away when
Drippy footprints circle...
