Never lifted weights
He spent his time in the loft 
inventing a thing called Microsoft

The time I spend
Spent thinking of you

The Lovecats

A calico kitten ran by,
Alert and rather spry.
Home she went,
Now she’s spent.
From running into my room just to lie.

Because Love Came

 for Jim

Swiftly
Pass the moments,
Minutes, hours, the sun-ups
And sundowns of a lifetime spent
With you.

The Mosquito Is An Anomaly

The mosquito is an anomaly
  Its brief life spent in ferocity

Buzzes, stings, draws our blood

The Eternal and the Memories

Indeed if these memories 
lent
From hours that fell 
before
We should familiar with 
the spent
And sleep forever-more.

Intense

Lighting strikes, a force unknown.
Satanic powers, short-circuits the zone
Body trembles, now I’m spent

colder when I realize
I've spent too much time

screaming at your shadows and
waiting for a miracle

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
Spent two years in a one room chateau 
Went to the pond to dip his booty
No dice – lifeguards off-duty

Wake me tomorrow
My time will be spent with you

Feeling the warmth of the sun

Rhetorical

Wouldn't
It be nice ...

If people spent
As much time talking
TO each other ...

As they
Do talking
ABOUT each other?

Empty evenings

Empty evenings

Empty evenings, yet full
Spent alone

Evening, I have no other life; night
Darkness brings me hope

Black Clouds

Black Clouds

Denying warmth,
they bring gloom, 

copious wetness, 
a dreadful squall.

Spent, they part;
admit the exiled sun.

Many Days

Many days have come and gone
With sometimes time well spent
But most are but a fleeting glance
And we wonder where they went

I'Ve Spent All Day

I've spent all day righting my wrongs 
Anything left is gone

Just Not Me

time spent in sweltering sun
is never any fun

The men work hard to dig a pit,
 someone somewhere must do it-

just not me.

Aftermath

The first touch of night
Marks the eastern horizon
I've spent the whole day
Trying not to remember
The skill of your deception

35 years tonight without my mother,
Way longer than the time I spent with you,
Missing the fun we could have had,

The Garden

How to forget last night 
when I spent those silent hours with you,
when all through today
the scent of roses clinging to my hair.
