An inkwell cupcake if you please.
Frost it with adverbs.
Sprinkle it with adjectives.
Don’t be stingy.
You can add more.
Make it glitter.
Make it pop!
Startle yourself.
Bake it whatever degree
Coleridge, Whitman, Thoreau and Poe would have used.

He celebrated America and himself
Keeping his face always towards sunshine
Seeing, hearing, feeling
All people, all races, all religions
Living a life,when every moment
Of light and dark was miracle
Singing about himself, singing about America
Which was the greatest poem for him

The Chosen
Miracle Man Thoughts
12-25-2021
Year 2021, and Christmas Day,
my awaking thoughts are frozen.
Not on gifts or Santa’s sleigh,
my musings rest on the chosen.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
“The gift is to the giver, it comes back most to him.”
Walt Whitman

Lyric
Heroic spirit,
fervent soul,
wild river conscious
that fulilled the sea of liquid ideas...
You were further than a hero,
you were a poet, you were a man
bigger than the mountain
higher than the space..
you are
Walt Whitman poetry.. !

Light Verse
After dispossession,
collecting the dolls-
dusting them off.
Who was watching
you, dousing yourself
to give a political statement ?
Cutting the leaves
of grass, I open
the book of Walt Whitman.
This was a targeted
killing. I will not join
the funeral procession.
A mistaken lull.
One day I will-
shoot endlessly.

You were considered prolific with poetic verse.
The subjects you covered were quite diverse.
Who else would write about prostitutes and nudity?
With your quill pen over the years, you kept yourself busy.
A favorite son you became in Camden, New Jersey.
If I continued to write the way you did, what would happen to me?
Perhaps in the future, they will name a bridge after me!
