Renovation
...Drills are buzzing, hammers banging;
Men on ladders, tool kits hanging.
Renovation’s going on and
Waiting is the key.
Dumpster’s filling, scraps are flying;
Things look messy, no denying.

October Rains
...Rain slipped in
sliding on the din
just passed dark
came midnight sparks
before the light of morning sun,
spits and spats, tips and taps,
lulls and dulls,
sputtered mutters culls,

The 36 Percent Poem
...The 36% Poem

World of Us
...It means the world to me
when you applaud my beauty
robbing me of insecurity,
while abandoning smiling
wanton vixens of haste
fixate brown eyes of lure

Flutes, ahead laying the routes
Oboes they off to Villalobos
Harps, dusting off vessel tarps
Violin silenced by engine din
Cello, matching the revving bellow
Piano sad in the canoe...

Under Mummy Mountain
...Aspen, ponderosa pine, blue spruce
pink glacier-cut rock, scree, ravens
gray jay, peregrine falcon, hawk.

Has reached a new plateau
It has fertilized the market

The Dive
...Experiment, the worth of kings,
no bonafide adventuring
not impinge, glory, noticing,

Lean To's and Lentils

Let the stubborn rain in
Wind up the roof
Watch the lightning begin
