to a vegan be
We humans can be good for wild animals
Their life of surviving hides hearts of love
by showing empathy and understanding
They can change and show utter devotion
to a human who loves them back
and lessen the struggle for survival,
to be on their guard where there is aggression
is the only emotion allowed
When an animal

In My Deepest Fantasy I Find a Writing Partner
My fantasy is to find a writing partner
The fantasy allows for a man or a woman
But you like short poetry (not too long)
You like free verse more than rhyme,
But you’re up for the challenge of a villanelle
My fantasy is to have a writing partner
Who connects with nature deeply
My partner has stories about

Fonty The Vegan Vulture
Fonty was a vegan Vulture.
Other Vultures tried to offer their advice
Told him they were created as carnivores and eating
meat
Is an essential part of their diet.
He stayed true to his commitment to be a vegan
Ate fruit and berries but they never satisfied his appetite
He resulted to stealing stale bread from pigeons

Dine And Dash-Vegan Entree
I ordered my whole gourmet restaurant staff
to serve my pals Molly and Max Giraffe
I humbly have to admit
the vegan meal was a hit
The tall order sparked a jaffy good laugh

superbowl
It’s a chill and rainy Saturday night in New Haven - it’s Superbowl eve! My roommates Leong, Anna and Lisa and I were playing a game of Upwards - it’s a scrabble-like word game and we’re all strangely super competitive.
My phone went “dunk!” A happy ‘Water jug’ sound messages make when they're from one of

A Round of Vegan For Thanksgiving
The turkey had a dinner completed
gobble, gobble the turkey repeated
pilgrims in their fancy dress
brought their utensils no less
a round of vegan that were all seated
the turkey wore its hoodie for dinner
introduced itself as Skinner Winner
breast feathers, wattle puffed up
a lady. Its eyes cockup
he was young and was just a beginner

Vegan Burger
I hold you.
And bite you.
You drip down my chin..
I really just didn't know
Where to begin
My teeth as they sink
Through the layers of joy
Encouraged by lentil
Enraptured by soy
There are moments and layers
In life we should cherish;
None ever so blissful
As encountering relish
Or the pickly thing
Or the goo that's so cheesy
Yet it's not, we're OK

"Vegan"
The blaise of red
hits the butcher’s paper
like molten crayon
thick and clumpy
perhaps there's some
truth?
in that old
saying;
a watery grave
the write;
it’s child’s play.
all that said,
and done,
dead meat
inside a bellyfull
grows rancid
the mind turns
verdant woodland green
the write not cut
turns positively pure
let’s say

Prissy Vegan
If I thought you’d risk it,
I’d offer you brisket,
but since you’re a vegan,
unlike Chrissy Teigen,
would sooner be dead,
here, how ‘bout a Triscuit instead?

Anti-Vegan Manifesto

Let us

and also celery!
Rising Fall

after Keats
Seasons of mellow fruitfulness
collect at last into mist
some brisk wind will dismiss ...
Where, indeed, are the showers of April?
Where, indeed, the bright flowers of May?
But feel no dismay ...
It’s time to make hay!
