Ottaman Strikes

sway armenian horde
your master,the ottaman
passes through your door


i wrote this to mark the anniversay of the ottaman/armenian war of 1915,today is the 
marked anniversary.i believe this would be the view of maybe a young,swaggering ottaman 
officer.

A Small Haiku Book

how do they know that
the grass is always greener
on the other side?



if my head wasnt
screwed on i would forget where
i put it myself


whats so hard about
eating a vegatable?
of course,the wheelchair


my mom always said
theres no use crying over
spilled milk but who knows?


the advice was this
the early bird gets the worm
thats an incentive?


turn the other cheek
if somebody strikes at you
and get hit there too!!!


if you love something
set it free,if it comes back
you look great naked

The St.Johns River Rafter

love,a slipper,a glove.the tea is sweet,little bo peep,keep your endeavors,i here,forever.to 
sheer a sheep,little bo peep.indeed keep your false friend until the end.the mend is soft and 
complete with tune,loves a sand dune and i lack a broom.some soon rather than later,i,the 
mouth of an alligator.
