The Pooh and Piglet
...Pak Piglet slowly sidled up to Pooh
To whisper: just I’m making sure of you,
He took his friend’s front paw
In hand with glee and awe--
A selfish friendship Pooh will one day rue.

A Fish Tale

A fish popped out of the lake
from his scales the water he done shaked
looked at me, curiously, wondering, “Is he awake?”

Not so platonic
...Yellow in your eyes—
seemed bright, but honeyed words didn’t feel right.
Letters that questioned truth and dare,

I Found the Courage to Speak

for I couldn't lick the festering gashes clean.

On the Path Less Traveled by Accident
...Did we meet when stars aligned?
Or when fate dragged our paths,
to coincide, to bump together,
sidled up, side by side,
by coincidence, in time and space?
Or did we slide into the same path ...

Interview With a Goldfish

but we've lived in the same house for a few years.

to the place that expelled her-
Octopode ink on a birth certificate.
Black smoke, not blue,
Dark smatter hid from view
Pale pink sunrise
Baby blue skies...

across the silent snowy steppes
as a pale sun sidled and slid.
Her passionate sensuous steps
softly seduced the stars to shine

Falling In Love

A face that launched a thousand ships.
And a mere working boy with no glamour,
How could I aspire to kiss those lovely lips?
Oh well, you can h...

Good Parenting, Part I

He had to get some sunscreen;
the sun was getting brutal.

he needed a commotion
to interrupt the pristine,
