Her plane’s a poem 
that dissolves its words behind it 
	as it flies,
an ars poetica
that takes its chances on blue sky....

If a poem you find you cannot write
Don't struggle with it all through the night
Concentrate in the day on what you can do
That way your talents will surely shine through....

This guy is that low
he could parachute
out of a snakes ars*hole,
then still free fall.

I swam in ecstasy for that fire.
Seized me nigh, lo, sweet body's ire
Drowning me 'neath hell's desire.
Let lips dim innocence
In foreplay's cadence
Tis flesh is yours
Forge our warmth;
Devour
Me!...

The wheelbarrow of Prince Prospero
pushed straightaway, like an arrow
it's passengers a motley farrow
not worth much more than a sparrow
it's aim and goal so very narrow
'tis horrifying to the marrow...

I'm told this poetry gig's a farce



          ("You can't pull money out of your ars!)



So, thanks for giving my poems a lookey ...



          But I'm off to write ... a fortune cookie!...

Yeah Right

If poetry is so easy to write,
drop a Choka, tercet, or a quatrain slight.
So remember the rules and keep things tight,
let’s see how easy it is to get right.

meditative dogs of
striped freedom
bark not here
neither run or pant
i dont see a tongue
hanging ever
no co;;ars or chains
dont even run
they are floating in 
slow motion
i am sketching them
vigorously
under the old oak tree
she is counting the
leaves i guess...

Better believe it, my skin is crawling
Over and out, I need to decompress
There's nothing going on, just feel closed in
Head is empty but full to bursting
Ears ringing
Relax I tell myself
Easy when you know how
Daydreaming, how I miss you...
