Long Thymes Poems

     drawing me nigh.
Ah! Her laughter just like a honeybee’s dance

Celtic Sun
Celtic sun, one such wonder, 
Sending her rays unto the woods,

In this mystic cool Spring air, 
Soft wind blowing everywhere,...

My memory flashes  back on my most horrific nightmare…

Again, I find myself  in rivet of this excruciating pain

Pages I open each day
Under the sun that burns the hay
Verses I read and pray

Just like the change of leaves
It was sudden
But it was raining, raining on that day
Raining with black umbrellas and hurried footsteps
With wet papers and cold classrooms
Then, just right then
I...

to hear him rant.
we found it less considering to 
try to understand his logic
his disposition
and even his words.

I THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

they rehearsed in the atrium
 to the on lookers delight

NEVER BLAME THE MAN
WHEN HE HAS YOUR BEST
INTEREST IN MIND

A Big Bowl of Things

I gulped down a big bowl of soup,
I could've sworn it had assorted letters of poems
that spelled villanelles and palindromes!
It was funny...

Priscilla was born under a lucky constellation
Without a single bit of consternation
Born under a lucky constellation
The entire town was in celebration
We were excited, filled with excited jubilation.

A lovely couple – Wilbur and Winnie Thyme.

They stood like rhymes
on fencepost spines
with wisdom scrawled
in shaving thymes—
a roadside gospel,
terse and sweet
that preached with
meter, grit, and heat.

and take your hand
and proudly wear
your golden...

Let it cuddle your skin, soften like a balm 
Your bangles hum the dreamy rhymes
Let wind waft your fragrant thymes

I will not write a poem today
I won’t – I won’t – I won’t
I’ll defy the metered merriment
Declare the thymes – all crimes
My challenge to the metaphor
An inky gauntlet on the floor
