When pigs fly I picture them Pink with white wings They are soft and cuddly I never picture the real pigs The black and white ones with the harsh hair Mud and manure on their snout and hooves I visualize them pretty, pink, round like cupids They are not large either. They are compact, symmetrical, Rubenesque Are they wearing clothes? I will have to go...

Sometimes the picture gets my painted toes, or maybe even my nose. On one trip I took a long flight, when looking at my photos I saw a bright light. Taken in the daytime...

In an American primitive painting: she fetches a pail from a well, the bucket on her hip is full of broken eagles, wind turbines churn in the distance. Corn fields are bundled together. Drones hum like doves in the evening. The art of moon-spinning is practiced on front porches. People make do with transitory Amazon wants. Most get caught by the faceless winds, those rattling sighs that...

Picture this You're eight years old, in your bedroom, playing with your favorite stuffed animals. But not far from your door, the sounds of raised voices echo-voices that do not sound happy. You shift your focus back to your toys: Three different teddy bears. One is the daddy, one is the mommy, and one is the daughter. You make the bears do...

A little girl coming out of a Woolworth store. An eye in my mind begins to clothe its sight with a past image. She has pink ribbons in her hair and a blue dress, maybe she had just come from church. Little black child being tugged quickly through a disapproving, white-skinned crowd. It is not wrong to think of poets as painters. We offer pictures that can...

I can still see a picture long gone,  waves of the ocean welcome and greets every edge of it. The shedding leaves, Then a thunder,  Reminds me of that picture with many cracks.  But just like autumn,  would the picture be also flowering in the near future?  Its shadow lingers around my thoughts, every glimpse of it reminds me of a new...

How can we expect the best out of life. If we don't change? It's crazy how life play out. One day you feel as if you are in top of the world. Next day ( you feel stuck and confuse and Don't nobody don't truly got your back) Most of the time that you feel all lone in this...

Write me a poem about the light About how strong you are despite The challenges you face in life When balances don’t seem right Sing me a song about your hopes How you cheer even when broke No tears in beer nothing used like dope Except music near as an antidote Paint me a picture with your heart Light and airy with glee...

Before you know it time has fallen away, becoming a memory that shall always stay... A moment, the only moment where time stands still... Looking back at a placid picture, defined in gracious hues of a heartfelt yesterday... I feel all the love we've gathered along the way... ...
