Painting with words,
poetry my canvas

Hanging through the ages

Growing wild in New Jersey 
An edible plant 
Our family tradition 
We eat just the stalks 
Looks like celery

Yum!

Spring In December

Instead of snow, it's rain;
cherry trees have blossomed in Brooklyn,
so did tulips along the bay...
even New Jersey has seen Nature in play!

Premium Member Countryside Luxuriating

Jersey cows on the outskirts.
Lounging around they idle summer days away.
Comfortable in their greener pastures.

Premium Member The Worst Fear

Fear of flying,
Fear of crying,
Fear of being afraid,
Fear of dying early
And fear that when you get to the promise land,
It will just be New Jersey.

Chris Christie
Not known to be nifty
Warned New Jersey National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael Cunniff to slim down.
This from such a big clown.

Just Relaxin' and Chattin'

on a lazy
Sunday afternoon
two Jersey cows
sitting on
a park bench
just relaxin' and chattin'

Looking for a New Jersey dame

( The cannibal Cow)

Moo moo moo
On our cud we chew

That old jersey
Going down smooth

Mad you are
When you are what you eat

Cows eating cows
Quit pulling my teat!

Beach Day

Your Tanned body,
Glittering along the Jersey Shore,
Black swim suit, 
Messed up hair in photo ready state, 
Ho-Joe's motor inn,
Kids, 
Laughing,
Libations
What a beach day!

The J.City flower delivery,
A storm rolls in,
South by southwest 
Wind does blow,
the sun sneaks through,
no wet dress,
The flowers are all set...

Premium Member Valentino’s Past Life

He meowed once, lost his jersey “r,”
“La-guad-ee-ah,” says; so far
from normal and his, “house shoes.”
It’s “slippers,” past life breakthroughs.
The bizarre O language of love, thus far.

The Color Brown

Chocolate, horses, barrels, mud
Hair, coats, paint, shoes, rocks, flags, washtub
Dried old leaves with dead flower bud
Brown is with us
In pasture Jersey chews her cud
Near bull's mean cuss

People Unworthy

People Unworthy

Are some people who are unworthy
And others who have been earthy
Concerned about the environment
Where the good Flint water went
What about Christie in New Jersey?

JERSEY ROCKS

Jersey rocks
Blue blazes
Docker jocks
Tackle and blocks
Hooks grapple
Around the clock

Scoffing bodies ripple easy
Power
Hardhats safeguard
Secret hearts

Foreign toughs
      Eye
Liberty's muscles
