I’m breathing deep, holding on tight, Shocks are pumping; the ride's just right— Every curve’s whipping like a river bend, When will snake tail flipping ever end? Tail-lights ahead bleed a molten red line, In the white-line channel, headlights shine. Breathing steady,...

Measured in fingertips, They drip wastefully on the teeth of...

BUTTERFLY IN THE RAIN If you read my poems I’m sure you can tell by the words I use how often my child and adult are uniting… but there are times, like today, when the adult in me takes a break and I let my child do the writing. It’s not that I don’t appreciate his input (yes this is...

She wants to dance in the rain and walk across edges, of warmest sands that shimmers, as if diamonds like, speckled...freckles and she wants to let her hair hang down, loose as if to flow, like strands of silken whispers and she will wear Batiste , translucent with wonderous, glitter, luster for as the day, slips away from daylight, to...

Empyrean drops, Monument of July, The pluvial chapter of life... O July of enfeebled yolk, Dispenser of splendour of sempervirence, God has watered your tongue. Therefore, pour, July, pour The essence of life, The grit of living Unto the bosom of the Seventh month and other Months of parturition.
