Let me tell you what I know about Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko

Let me tell you what I know
about Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko,
two painters so rectangular and square,

till you look with a little more precision,
a little bit more care.

Shelly Tried to Tell Me

jesters are fun, hilarious, lovely, they make you laugh Shelly said.
This one is creepy, scary, goth-like, he makes me think of the dead.

The spooky jester was behind us. Shelly turned, screamed and ran off.

I'd like to tell you the the story

I'd like to tell you
The the story
Of weird life of english tori

Should I Tell the Bishop?

Am I to grab this nasty neighbour
by the scruff of his scruffy neck,
shove his head against
that lovely hard wall between our apartments,
and hear a delightful crack?

He is not as gracious as
my friend the bishop.

And so I laugh so much
when I think about it,
loving the nasty neighbour as much as I do not.

Show, Don't Tell

In my experience
between the two
I'm not naming names
but what people say
and what they do
are not always
one and the same
as they don't follow through
life gets in the way

I know I'll never

And know that they’re meant to be

But you stretch your staff to the sky
And tell me that my people will cry
Because

In the depths of the night, when stars tell their story on the vast and eternal sky,
she walks like a shadow of light, with steps of butterflies in colorful flight.
Her beauty is an enigma, a dance of the sun on fields in bloom,
a gentle warmth like the dawn's awakening, embracing the earth.
Her gaze is a

Always Tell A Story

Everywhere I get to
No matter where it is
There are stories
Some are told loudly
Screamed from the mountaintop 
Some are whispered
Barely spoken and barely heard
A few are lost to time
Never told or talked about
Every one of them is worth knowing
And being shared when it is possible
The good thing is if you do share one
It will never be
