Such an interesting color, Rodger -
Green - like our mysterious calico eyes?
Yes?

You?
An idiot savant submits
into me - a blooming
garden of emerald delights? Like our
first encounter - regulated and raw (green).
Drawing our hunter-hued
curtains closed and tittering

Slick hair defies gravity and air flow
More charm for the maidens than Lorenzo

Dressed to the gills like a TV comic
His voice...

My old Gran, met an ice cream man
Who welcomed her into the clan
Of superhero ice cream men
Who fend off villains now and then 

He gave her top crime fighting tips
And lots of special chocolate chips
They’ll...

On razor-edges, Chinese windchimes tinkle and peel,
eclectic charges skip, crackling and white,
from synapse to synapse.
Neck muscles then cord, piano wire strained,
arched spine, gruesome human bow, neither arrow nor target;
spittle-flecked lips morph shades of Arctic blue,
glacial,...

spring day, and a non-adventurer, me. I warned, “Pop
said stay home today and mow.”  “Sometimes Pa’s a sap”!
he scoffed. “When...

Written to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Here in Florida,
We don't get any snow,

To view the Christmas-lighted homes,
And displays...
