Dressed red and green
Beauty and grace,
Garnished in lace
Such a grand dame,

      feasting goldfinches


I passed a dancing sunflower on my walk today,

I caught me a green leprechaun
He lied said his gold was all gone
I gave him a kick
He spit out a brick
I kicked his smart ass all day long

She wiggled and danced on a wire
Her pitter once pattered
Grew ninety pounds fatter
And now she sings bass in a choir.

The way I laugh loudly when waves wash over
The state of feeling comforted in close company
Knowing that Death is not an end, but a page turner!...

There once was a poet named Daniel
Mistook for a sweet cocker spaniel 
They gave him some shit
Wound up getting bit
Needed morphine induced in granules

A talent so rare to find;
Miserly,tactiturn said to be mad-
He poured out his abstract dreams
In coloured light of tinted steam.

but who has painted this rain
who style do we see
