Crisp pieces of bacon and
Two slices of bread
Miracle Whip™ spread

I know a maiden
Whom remains hidden where all
Sacred knowledge turns
Into a lake she swims in
With elemental spirits.
Deep philosophy anywhere
With Jesus I will compare
"Kingdom Within; Love thy Neighbor,"
"Ye are gods," the Psalms declare
he quickly fled
with wings spread far...
hit head on branch
crimson fluid
shed... cupid ran
stupid he felt

Dragon wisdom’s curious;
centuries of it, possessed;
But, in the world of humans;
Haphazard, useless.
She says she hates those
Wretched spiders and their webs
But she hath much in common
Threadbare words homespun
Envy of Ariadne
Form:
Mythical creatures
Slain by likeminded people
To those asking now
Were they all just a legend
And if not, where have they gone
Moody manticore
Knew my heart wasn't for you
Stabbing me like that
But I'm a bull and you're red
Guess what's gonna happen next
Entombing the scream
into my body to hide
the banshee
for the sake of guarding
this terra incognita;
the peacetime of ours.
Hello my name is Yetti
Now know you can't forget me
Like posers part the Red Sea
Red Roses now I give to thee
?? ?? ??
Yeti.

I vanquish giants with gruff hammer - Thor tough like mom's fried liver
Monoku composed August 28, 2020
Gorgons were, sisters three,
Mortal, Medusa, be,
Stheno, Euryale feed,
Shared immortal breed.

Queen of sorrows
Queen of men.
Where doth thy heart intwine
When on the road met
All things halt
For in thy face is death divine
The Gods above are
playing a vicious trick by
only giving me
big sips to drink from
Mnemosyne instead of
few drops of Lethe.
We are like a pair
of scissors: alone - useless
blades of solitude,
but together - Atropos'
shears cutting the thread of fate.
In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning
All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow
[for Joan Osborne]
What if god was a little mouse
Just a mouse in a little house
Just a stranger and a louse
Tryin' to get the cheese.
Phobos and Deimos took a walk.
They stumbled upon a big moon rock.
A bit misshapen.
If not mistaken,
They told Mars, but he was not in shock.
THE EMANCIPATION OF DAVID
for millions of years
he slept in marble prison.
Michelangelo
chiseled his naked freedom,
revealing timeless beauty
There once was a Norse goddess named Skadi
A Winter Ruler in huntress’ body
An expert at skiing
Her enemies fleeing
Ester Ledecka she did embody
pregnant dams scream
green-gown-clad earth maiden smiles ---
Indira* in moods
*Indira is considered to be the god of rain in Hindu mythology
Zeal for leadership
Empowered by lightning and thunder
Ultimate ruler of the gods
Sky is his domain

A baby appeared on New Year’s Eve
No parents or clothes, if you believe
A top hat and sash
rather bold slapdash
resolute in year's goals to achieve
"King Arthur, get off the couch...
and stand up straight. Don't slouch."
"Who asked you Guinivere -
gimme another beer",
said the legendary grouch.
Three coils unwind.
Celtic then, now, and future,
volution of life.
