Short Cay Poems

Tega Cay deers stray
Green grass on golf course won’t last
Sharp shooters silencer blast...

Trump Is a Fat Cat

Trump is a fat cay;
Wants to be a bureaucrat;
Dumber than door mat.

pink

lanterns

we all came from one black mustard seed
exploding into billions
blowing into every
concrete crack
jungle leaf
burning cay
mountain top
ocean wave
fiords and caves
expanding stars
speed of light
 -U-turn
imploding
back into
one black mustard seed from which we came from...

O hark, the gulls have come to pray

       For this, the start of one new morn

Behold, such virgin days, thus born

              From womb of night on cradled cay

A lemon-drop sun to daub the sky

       And blush this day with kisses, shy

O hark, the gulls have come to pray....

this heart 
challenged an ocean
only to beach on a cay
    called indifference

             now 
bloated with ill emotion
no chance of rescue
to tempt karma's brutal swell
would be futile
          

          this heart 
dances like a drunken crab
swaying across the bleached sand
stumbling out into the surf
into the nest of an old sea hag...

candelabra ghost did a cha cha cha
He had the whole mansion to himself
Fiddly dee, fiddly whimsical mccaw
he grabbed two candelabras down from the shelf

It was heavy, sure, but looked great when lit
He lit them both and gave a hippy eye cay cay cay
The mansion began snickering, black cat had a fit.
Cannot please everyone said the ghost, but what the hey?...

Sometimes it's too Early to Prite Woetry,
I say to myself, "Oh, Moe is We".

When I Bo Lack Gate with Sater Light,
Editing the Hords of my Wearlier rite.

Especially when a Hontest is at Cand.

So here you are Fy Mood Griend,
My unedited Woem, to sou I yend.

I fope it Hits your itical Creye,
As this Woem is Pritten...Sannot Cay I.

Star my stog darted to dig

I looked at Star words sannot cay what i felt

Morning rays
Ebbing bays
Harlunger of
A fruitful phase

Butterfly flutters
To unidate a morning chatter
Unfurls its wing
A heel of rainbow
Sits on the cup
Share the nectar sip 
A touch divine 
Ensures you are fine 
A flutter of joy
O! that
Blush on cheeks cay

A journey of love making
Initiates convulsions rainy
Shower of Love
O! that
Lasting Pieruen spurs
Snowy touch
Blissful so much

Love eternal
After tornadoes nocturnal....

I dwell on this sandbar. 
Between the shallows and the deep.
So free and yet so oppressed.
But during the rarest of moments
I truly know that I am blessed.

Do I make for the mainland.
Facing riptides of salt and teeth.
Or wade through sharpened coral hearts.
onto that cay of stagnant familiarity.

I tend to teeter toward the shallow.
but there are pools so blue -so deep.
So why do I ride this burning sandbar?
It's out of fear I tend to think....

Love at Any Rate

Love at
any rate
Can make you
Feel low
Down
And dirty
Shame
What happens
Next a neuron
Fired or quit
Working right
Then and there
Went the neighborhood
Where Sarah Belle ummm...
Lived but for
Got
Why
Memory
Jogging
Or refreshed this
Time
Is up
And running
Up and running
Up and
Run for your life
Went on
About its business
Casual
Tea is empty
Ness that dragon
Loch and cay
Puff like magic
And it's gone
At any rate
it came along....

Warm spring breezes come home to stay
After a vacation in the southern hemisphere,
Where they stayed on a Caribbean cay.

Escaping winter’s bitter snow and ice here,
In December they spent a week on Largo Key
Wafting softly under the sky blue and clear.

Every other season the warm breezes roam,
But they know they are expected to stay
For the springtime in Kentucky, my home.

We welcome them especially on Derby day
Which comes every first Saturday in May.
