Race starts, runs fast.
Horse darts, comes last.
fabulous fabricated forlorn frenzied Franciscan fable
garnered garrulous geese gathered at Gloria’s gable
harboring a hangout for a hunter with Achille’s heel
identifying idiosyncrasies that are less than ideal
juggling jam-packed jokesters without a good joke
Keeping an eye out for kibitzers and kindly kinfolk
like-minded Lilliputian with a lullaby I like
manifesting mystical magic, then throwing down the mike
i fear tomorrow—
with all of my being
i try to hold on
but with every passing hour
you slip further away
and each time I close my eyes
you fade from the moments
i wish i could have
—and live in today
ghastly grimy gruesome greedy gray ghost
happily haunts Henry’s hoarder habitat
igniting icy incredulity
jiggery-pokery jimjams justified
kismet keeping kowtowing kin keen
lighthearted lively long-winded laggard laughs
magnifying mystical malefactor’s mysteriousness
After poem for "How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I offered you trust, an open door without locks, My heart lay exposed, vulnerable on the rocks.
You entered with a grin, words sweet as honey, But your exhale was ice, your caress felt phony.
You spoke of my glow, then left me in the dark, Filled my mouth with verse, but your questions missed the mark.
I poured truth in your glass, you gulped it down, Then smashed it to pieces, leaving me with a frown.
Your grin sang me to sleep, your gaze was a trap, You stripped me bare, wrapped in a spiritual wrap.
You cut deep where no looking glass could see, A chuckle laced with poison, from which I could not break free.
You embraced my hush, then made it howl, Left traces in my nights, making me scowl.
Now I walk with whispers you would not claim, Building self-worth from the leftovers of shame.
I grin like embers—cool and exact, I have learned the price of sweetness and tact.
So if you return to sample what is left, You will meet a girl who has swallowed her theft.
granite gargoyles in Greg’s garden
happily high-fived handshake that hardened
Introducing indigenous iris to Illinois
jubilantly jiggling their midwestern joy
kings of the garden we are, said the giant gargoyle
laughing and loving their role, they spit into the soil
most of the fey rolled their eyes at the two
nay said a petunia troll, unsure what he could do
outstandingly confident said a faerie named Lee
platinum pharaohs added a dainty sweet pea
quivering with happiness, the granite gargoyles yelled out a hey!
restoring the rest of the produce, ensuring its safety that day.
lively little lovely lithe lambs
merrily milling around Marty’s Milwaukee
nibbling nutty Nabisco nuggets
outstandingly joyful and childlike
prancing prettily like playful petite ponies
Indicating indigo improvements
Juggling juicy jiggling Jello
Kibitzing kits and cats
Laboriously languishing lightly
Making marvelous maneuvers in word play
Lively little lucky Lucy Lulu
Manages milk cows who cannot moo
Noting Nor a Nebraska Gnu
Overseeing the ornery ocean blue
Providing pike for little Lucy Lulu

By the “resurrection of the body” is meant that at the end of the world
And the bodies of all men will rise from the earth
And be united again to their souls nevermore to be separated
By the special favor of the Assumption
The body of the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary was raised from the dead
And taken into Heaven
The judgement which will be passed on all men immediately after the general
resurrection is called the general judgment
The judgment will be passed on each one of us immediately after death is
called the particular judgment
The rewards or punishments appointed for men after the particular judgment are Heaven
Purgatory
Or Hell
The word “Amen” with which we end the Apostles’ Creed is meant
So it is
Or So be it
Keep out of the kale and the captain’s keg
Lazy light foot like you could lose your leg
Miserable moments mastered by minion Meg
Never needless, yet not necessary without a doubt
Olive Orangutan outrageously opted out
Providing persnickety persimmons a playful pout

I told Him once,
my favorite sat under halogen moons-
White Cadillac parked at the edge of night.
It looked different— special in some way— and my first impression was right.
A Race-Car in preacher’s robes!
Specs in the window read like scripture:
horsepower, torque,
zero to rapture in under five!
Price tag: $100,000.
But what’s that to The Divine?
I made a promise,
if I ever received it—
I’d "Open-It-Up"
only where the road runs true
and only at 3:00 a.m.
when the world sleeps
and there's no one to hurt but me
because I Love To Fly but
I love folks more.
