Some people call me Prof
But with laughter round it off,
Some garnish it with cough;
Their loyal but amused hats doff;
Better than to at me scoff…

The most shy cease to be coy,
The heart cruel games would buoy
Shyness in any case some ploy
By he who could with another toy:
By some Ray about to cajole a Roy;
My Prof Nickname, a delicious noise
By a false eulogizing voice
That soon connects a sneeze
Men flee from with “Gees?”...

Life everlasting—
I am anchored by this concrete;
The hands that feed,
And the flowers they bring.

There was a storm cloud I chased in a dream;
Away from the wreckage they try to redeem.

And death is life’s eternal gates.

Everything tires, yet everything waits;
The poppies left before the grave.
It is well, but all unwell remains.

There is a lie I never forgave:
That there was something left to save....

March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb
       — English proverb

Any sign of Spring makes me sigh

OUT LIKE A LAMB

pink petals of confetti throng
the Spring tree eulogizing Fall.
snowy buds cling like upraised songs.
March first bleating breaks down the wall

of incessant roaring rainstorms.
the keyboard-roof is fighting back,
the lion napping, seeds perform.
Daffodils give Winter the sack.
