Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains. 2
Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting...

Embelished Vision
Shards rain down
around me
ringing upon the ground,
displacing the silence
that was assaulting me
mere moments ago.
Had to get out
and even as the blood
drips from my many wounds
I lurch into motion

John-Crow: Vulture
By the barrage of flies, bald John can tell how
Safe his meal is for feasting. The spotted

So before he drinks, he waits for the devil
To pee...

Fairy Tale - Part 3a
Midway through the season,
Just as the tulips were fading
A breeze from the north carried portents of late frost.
Leaves began rustling more yellow than green
Mixed with their whispers the faintest of sounds...

Little by little,We'll make it right
I don't believe...

Reborn
Late one night under a moonlight glow,
I questioned my life and alter-ego,
Am I the dunderhead that had it all wrong?
Was I just a chorus in someone else’s song?

Listen to the Wind
The wind leans in sideways to drink every word,
Just as sailors must tack sideways to go upwind.
It's only with angles we know the wind's wrangles.
Its riddles, scattered among willy-nilly answers,
Whispered as secrets, spilling to shake...

I see a green, slimy smog coming from your mouth
It smells so bad, it should have come from down south
You smile like it's no big deal
If bad breath was a move in...

Spectacular- For Contest
Stock-still in gold dawn light while many sleep,
perched, scanning, on abandoned termite heap.
Expectant, skin tingles as in cold breeze
contrasting with the stillness of the trees.
The tracking beeper focuses our minds
as aerial picks target from behind.

Bulldog's Sniffer Is Gold
A bulldog was having a day so fine
The weather was scrumptious simply divine!
The pony came upwind, scared him to death.
He must have fallen into load of meth.
Bulldog’s eyes watered, he thought he might cry.

The tales they told of ole sailor Fred,
Had skin-grafts a grafted on top of his head,
