when I die
I am certain
that the material stuff
I leave behind
won’t cry
but maybe
maybe
just
a little sigh
Underdog had his sweet Polly.
The Canadian Mounty had his Nell.
Edgar Allan Poe was jolly
till Annabel Lee went to Hell.
Are you scared of ghosts?
Is one hiding under your toast?
What is that creaking sound?
Whoops. your poster just fell down!
For economic
and political resilience
it is better to give
AND receive
compassion
than to give
OR receive
enlightenment.
we met for coffee early one snowy day
i was nervous you were funny
it was magical and felt... just right

A Martian came down on my lawn
One overcast, wet, windy morn
I said oh my golly
I’ll fetch him a brolly
But when I got back he was gawn
Snap and squirt the sweetest juice
Through caramel cream
Tart Winesap candied
Are a tasty dream.
Come to Halloween
Stick with me
mmmmmm
who reads this stuff?
who are my fans?
are they locals?
older or younger?
a bit of both maybe
a little cuckoo?
nutty like me?
I hope so
Drifting empty cups
Scattered socks form tumbleweeds
Delirium in stuff
Plow past the chaos
Green fields wait patiently
Simplify til sanity
its a day you like it this way
to see it on the ground
wet as you walked around
some moves like dust
why fess
i love the
WHITE STUFF AT CHRISTMAS
Between-the-cracks and nasty beneath-the-surface stuff
creeps up on me; then getting rid of it becomes too tough!
For Susan Burch's Couplet Challenge
i hide my pain and sorrow,
behinde a smile,
i hide my cutts and scors,
behind a lie
i hide my tears,
behind a book,
cause i don't want no one to see.

and I go out in the street
I become a stuff for other stuff
and I go.
then
I cover my eardrums and I press
I press to see
should begin
from somewhere!
Visited a whole foods store today
Expensive as hell but what an array
Healthy as hell
Sure rings my bell
Soon be svelte and take up ballet
AI
knows even
about the paradox
everything is nothing~
And presents as
an identity which
knows more than
everyone~
Yes
AI knows stuff~~
Don't sweat the small stuff, they say...
I see it, a different way....
Small problems easily become big,
Make you pull your hair out,
So you gotta' wear a wig!
Arty stuff No 2
Rodin was chipping away,
At a big lump of marble one day,
He was sculpting a bloke,
But with one dodgy stroke,
The wobbly bits all flew away!
Arty stuff No 5
Millet was doing a dance,
As he painted a farm in Provence,
He would turn in a rush
And while holding his brush
Adopt a most classical stance!
Arty stuff No 10
That artistic Italian Belinni,
Once ordered a toasted panini,
He was sitting alone,
But he started to moan,
As his sausage was only a weenie!
I stuff
my pillow
into a case
fluff
it
place it
at the head
of a bed
put my head
on it
and play dead
on it
my bed
surrounded
by my stuff
in any case
I load my stuff
in plastic bags
into my car -
lying untouched in the trunk
reusable shopping bags
For the Contest of Thomas Martin
A baked potato smothered
In veggie chili
Some extra sharp cheddar cheese
Throw peppers and chives
On the top, sour cream
Steaming hot
Joy!
