Premium Member Portrait of An Aged Scholar

The stooped gait
   the squinting eye
A curmudgeon sure
   personified...

Yet when from parted lips
  his timeless treasures poured
The very Founts of Wisdom
  yearned for even more

Premium Member Sign On a Backwoods Road

Hairy spiders do not grill
    steaks on consecutive Tuesdays
  due to alternate-side-residency-
    restrictions in bushes on parkways

  Nevertheless, if seeking opportunities
    to slake cracked-throat-thirst
  Welcome to the Wetlands
    where founts of poetry burst

Premium Member Unseen Story

Words do not count
What tale now founts


Watch what you see
Truth yet may be


Can tale be told
As touch unfolds


Unseen the touch
Story as such


Now by and by
A gift that sighs


Sculpt then your tale
Sync with brisk gale

If Life Did Not Have Glitches

If life did not have glitches,
Then of what would we complain?
There’d be endless founts of riches
And no one would be in pain.

All our nervous tics and twitches,
Since they all would be in vain,
Would just vanish, as would itches
And from kvetching we’d refrain.

Though this fantasy bewitches,
In our lives it’s very plain,
We must cope with all the pitches
Hurled, which no one can explain.

New York Summer

Sticky, humid, skin
Sweltering inferno blaze
Summer has no wind

The flies are dizzy
Joy hums from each piazza 
Two views of day's rot

The hydrant founts glee
No rain promised in the sky
Water is respite here.

The tongue flakes songs
Lovers returned to the parks
Love sparks a new flame

Dreams burn in desire
The heart pants for new friendships
Pale male on his spire.

Summer has no wind
The city swelters without rain
And love blooms again.
