Long Sponging Poems

Stuck in place…
Free in space…
you’re insane 
I’m as sweet as sugar cane…
Whatever happened to your unique personality?
Whatever happened to your sanity? 
Has it transformed to insanity?
I like the way you make me feel
Oh, you don’t...

I misplaced my journey-like notebook, written in pen and pencil prudently and sincerely
Solace sunrays are embedded in your blue-green eyes and it’s driving me...

He made me float…he made me beam with glee
I was once so sturdy…so robust with reverie

Early in life worthlessness prevailed employ
ying gnawing, infecting thought processes
did more than annoy
rooted, short circuited, and tasered
flickr happiness lived

shy locked lad, and...

So many ways to say it...
tossing off without a thought,
"a man's his own worst enemy"
all unquestioning
and any one of us
a victim of perception,
laughing at out careless ghosts
a little while
and sponging tears at night.
The patriarch is...

Nature's small insects cute and rude
Garden blooms gathering food  

Butterflies' sweet nectar seeks,
Beneath sun's outstretched blond streaks

Where, yet a spider does hide
Silvery web shadows bide

Night is flashing lighting bugs
Tall grass leaves their heartfelt hugs

Dragonfly's...

Amongst the potted palms 
And aspidistra’s leafed cover 
The lion paces 
Eyes agleam 
The only light 
In a darkened foot well 
Alert to sound 
Body poised 
Ears cocked, listening. 
Laughter, merriment 
An echo in the...

You stepped out of a midnight moon
Melting into a cashmere night
Fawn-eyed, dewed from heaven's mist
Barefeet gliding, floating lightly
The faintest whisper as you whisked by
Then- for a moment paused- and I knew
As the scent of jasmine...

Would I look insane
If I took pictures in the rain?
My face would be…sponging wet 
My camera would be slippery I bet

Would I be in danger
If I took photos of a passerby and a stranger?

Scum Buckets
(For a contest)

Can American’s be
As a whole, like a tree
With branches far and wide

That is constantly tapped
Collecting green sap
As in taxes from our thin hide

Out of hard working hands
All over our land
From Eugene to...

Your mother and I agree.
You can’t spend your life just loafing around,
Sponging on her and me.”

I realized I must.
So I got...

Stress is starting to overwhelm me;
It’s certainly wearing on my health.
To many stressors all surround me:
Lack of time, lack of wealth,
Adult children always sponging off me…
Are pushing me into early death.

My landlord is not helping;
He’s...
