Tail Poems

Release the shelter of bare feet,
     rhinestones on big toes sparkle.
The tentacle-shine of sunwheat
     on the scrapyard-swig of river.

Like a sunflower, the mudlark
     shuts her eyes, complexion
surrenders to...Read More

Real Talk

WTF, I know I didn’t just see what I thought I saw
This old dude slammed on breaks to talk to a little girl
That could probably be his daughter, better yet his granddaughter
Look at her with her little itty, bitsy,...Read More

The atmosphere killed, but moisture came from rock,
I did not judge this sinner’s block ravishing, just clock,
No stripes inside to ease away the pain, despair, hock,
Wires to traverse those structures not according, shock.

Did the eclipse light a fire within the...Read More

hillside is ablaze
with glorious golden gorse
spring is here at last

lambs gambol in fields
meadow lush with verdant grass
rook collects dry twigs

a flash of white tail
baby bunny goes to ground
hawk flies overhead

Our Island is on lock down for 21 days and no...Read More

He told her
She was a gift,
A timely offering
From the universe,
A universe 
Ruled by a sadistic god
Holding a compass 
In his cruel hand

The god pierced the center
Of the invisible circle of time
And pencil down, 
The compass began
Its predictable course

It began with...Read More

Why does the brown mare stand
just so,
her head over the wire fence
but gazing at nothing?

Her tail flicks, ears prick.
Beyond the wire
a group of laughing children 
run past, ignoring the horse.
Wet eyes momentarily clear
then cloud over again.

Why does the brown mare
stand...Read More

     INKY DINKY
  
     Inky-dinky monkey spinning web to hang
      Itsi -bitsy spider shut the door with a clang.

DINGLEO AND GINGLYET

When the Dingly Doo
Met the Gingly Goo,
On the subway late one night.
They fell for one another,
A case of love at first sight.

But the Dingly Doos  and the Gingly Goos’
Like the Capulets and Montagues,
Had been sworn enemies for...Read More

Starlight

As sunset fades from pink to violet
And twilight skies show trees in silhouette
Our heaven's open vault of diamonds shine
In awestruck twinkling glimmers so divine.

Reflections from these stars upon the sea
Share a peaceful grace with humanity.
Moon with its companion Venus, not...Read More

I sense one’s sight, I wiggle my tail
My cheeks are kissed, I shriek in silence
My ears receive joy, it’s kept in my mail
I laugh in my visions. This makes no sense

I sleep in bed just to dream of some friend
I...Read More

On an azure expanse without prospect or sail
        the debris of my ship rent asunder from gale
            as I float, the last...Read More

Consider the gecko splayed on the wall,
Leisurely ascending, taking its time,
A complacent lizard, sturdy but small,
Continuing slowly upwards to climb.
It is is uncertain if it has a goal,
Oblivious of its destination,
It maintains  a serene, debonair role,
Careless, it seems, of...Read More

Of all the gin joints, 
and pool halls, 
on bar stools, 
and in the shallows of oceans, the Siren calls.
It calls us men back.

If only men can bust that Jack!
Oh, for years you evaded all men like me,
and kept hidden...Read More

The World Is Healing From Coronavirus


We hide smile behind facemask
In cold wind virus-spread open spaces 
A touch could turn into snafu touch
As noise turns into silence

Mother earth is breathing
The way we look at it
It is rebuilding and helping us to...Read More

Our Flying Days
I’m flying over the lake near where you live.  
There’s your house, your small wood cabin by the shore. 
Looks child like from up here.

The fishing is great. 
Views even better. 
Especially when you’re stood by the...Read More

One thing I love about memory 
is how a song, an aroma, or simply something that’s been said
can awaken a memory from where it rests and pop it in my head…

Our family noticed them on a walk…a young couple with...Read More

Today is her birthday ring all the bells
Today is her birthday for one who excels

The grooviest grandma 
With flowing red hair
Will be hitting the town
In her gold lamé gown

A peaceful dawn in a verdant rainforest 
Stretching and lowering their head submissively
Two tiger cubs in a fun frolic play and kittens yowl
Actively under trees, limbs, and leaf brushes passivity
Hugs, scratches, bites, and tiger growls 

Along comes a black heart...Read More

These circles around me
Infinity, infinity guides me
Over and over abundantly

These circles surrounding me
Infinity 7 * 70
Embraces me Embraces me
Like a dog follow his tail chasing it
As a boomerang thrown by hand comes back to me

These circles all all around...Read More

Two liners
He sat on a square stone under an olive tree
contemplating his afterlife.

What if he came back as a donkey in Sudan?
Or dromedary in Sahara.

He could become a dog like the one at his feet,
The dog looked up, wagged its...Read More

When I saw the kids a dancin'...

From two dimension hands,which closed to me,see two pieces bruised faces 
Fall  blowed mantra like the spots and
Lip of woman dressed black next 
the black smokes
That,fly behind of that woman 
Sometime, Like place one upon another the mirrors,woman's images...Read More

Wealth dreams of sunshine, as I gallop through fields,
welcome is the rain endless sea of amber it yields.

Through sea of fresh, clean, golden wheat,
new dried fodder stored for the livestock to eat.

I'm constantly told, I am a magnificent looking animal;
I'm...Read More

Daydreaming 
With will unwavering 
Riding a robust horse
Pakshiraj or Pegasus 
The winning force 
Empowers one to reach the distant shore
Sky height unforeseen before 
But lagging in tenacity it’s often abandoned
Fading dream-flower crumbles or 
Die in the bud. 

Dreams of the...Read More
