Sue's Curlicue
There once was a cute little girl named Sue
Smack dab down her forehead, a curlicue
She so much wanted straight hair
She planted an iron there
Now, instead of hair, she's got barbeque...

Springtimes Saucy Sweet
Springtime’s saucy sweet;
makes me want egg rolls,
fried rice with veggies,
curlicue sprouts;
with fried shrimp for dipp’in.
Of course, with smiling fortune cookie!

An Ice Cream Day
It's an ice cream day, they say
sherbet and orange cream
sky, a slow motion dream
Sprinkles brighten curlicue clouds
Lemonade sun bursts through
breathe deep ~ nectar's rendezvous

Santa's Stayed On In Chicago
Southerly breeze at my back
Curlicue clouds in the sky
Folks sport sunny smiles
A privilege to be alive
It's Spring after Christmas
A treat for body and soul
Santa's stayed on in Chicago
Why rush back to the North Pole?...

In the Womb's Flow
Sunset waters ebb and flow,
in shades of silver, gold and blue;
megaliths arise, greet periwinkle skies
while warm sands, traveling waves embrace.
Eyes cast upon the horizon lines,
greet gulls in heaven's play;
a cavern frames old Sol's facade,
as curlicue waves knit watery lace.

Taking the Shot
The hunter is inside
between the lens and its mirror
where Zen masters prowl
with high powered lights.
The prey is sensed
before it takes shape,
otherwise you catch nothing.
You are in the zone,
mind locked on a digital trigger.
Sometimes
the whole world stampedes
across your path,
more often,
a small curlicue of significance
will trip a sensory wire,
crosshairs will meet,
then for an instant you disappear,
as you take the shot.

Taking the Shot
The hunter is inside
between the lens and its mirror
where Zen masters prowl
with high powered flashlights.
The prey is sensed
before it takes shape,
otherwise you catch nothing.
You are in the zone,
mind locked on a digital trigger.
Sometimes
the whole world stampedes
across your path,
more often,
a small curlicue of significance
will trip a sensory wire,
cross-hairs will meet,
then for an instant you disappear
as you take the shot....

Axolotl
I brought home an axolotl
In a thin-necked ketchup bottle
Then I could never get the damned thing out.
I broke up with the mute Egyptian
Found his code was a crude encryption
Read the story of the life of a silent lout.
Waddlin' toddlin' down the track
End of the line and halfway back
Marry or bury me, I don't care
Fiddlin' a middlin' Irish aire.
Caribou smoked on a barbecue grill
Fed everyone from the curlicue mill
Then got stuck going home on the roundabout....
