You Can Say That Again
You Can Say That Again (cliché at play) Adam’s off ox is out of the box His changed bell is rung fonder The best salt was not made early But, end of the day, sun shines The walls have their work order Only the late hats without insult Like taking a cool kid by […]
Wisely Pick
Folk music concert draws a crowd, some new and familiar faces Seen both in the audience and also in the band Old time tunes brought to life, different folks in different places The fiddler’s riffs hearken back unto the land The times and songs that these musicians all carry in their heads Must give their […]
Flower Power
Stucco walls and Spanish tile roofs Backed by tall, tree-crowned hills Set off by gnarly oaks, blossoms, wisteria Sing myriad tulips, rejoicing daffodils Heady fragrance; dizzy, spinning, is it this Perhaps, or perhaps it’s too much sun From which I reel, causes my confusion Everywhere, people, groups, myriad, unique Such a wide, amazing mix of […]
Coffee Break’s Over
Thinking about meaning, life, the universe, everything And remembering the question’s answer is forty-two Fun and silly, but, I believe, it may be onto something The one percent, owning most of America, worry, too Statistically I recently heard, that in another sixty years Our wasp majority population figure will have dwindled The exact figure I […]
Intent Ion
Minuscule beyond imagining Cation meets anion Sudden explosion Screaming outward All directions, growing Spinning, spiraling into A being vast Beyond comprehension Thirteen point eight billion Years alive, expanding Encompassing life Teaching, learning Amazing, baffling Inexorable Examining from within Delving diligently Piecing together A totality puzzle No sample image Unrecognizable wreckage Ruins or futures Concepts, thoughts, […]
Acknowledge the Day
Three cheers, I say, to my very good day A day which I may well pay for tomorrow Which is already a few minutes underway Think it’s all right on tomorrow to borrow I have written and painted and shopped Worked on a project to faux knotty pine Lunchtime, I even sat down and stopped […]
Total Can’t Recall
Tech jackets, watches, glasses won’t mean a single thing Won’t matter what they know or do, unless they’re bling Sure, there is a certain status in the land of the nerd elite Doesn’t mean they’ll play the burbs, be seen every street Unless this tech makes you look sharp, stylin’ and profilin’ Can you honestly […]
Blue Screen Cafes
What do expect, from texts Just the usual suspects How would that be With life the fee Head down Smile or frown Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox Yet only letters in a row Like any word we don’t know Shorthand, perhaps But often slaps Is there reason to listen Moments to […]
You’re Not
No longer will we require any high-school senior To recognize the words sagacious or prevaricator I do not think that’s wise, to say I do, I’d be a liar As the dumber we become, the lower we’ll aspire The only smart things we’ll own are phones, cars And really, both are more intelligent than we […]
Love
You have always given me more than mere love Laughter and music, and the occasional shove You have helped me to grow, relearn how to cry You have helped me to sometimes not ask why You have been so loyal and steadfast; my rock You were forged in love, the only key to my lock […]
