Only Fifty Words
The Greatest Panjamdrum
There once was a philologist
a selcouth bagnio- callypgian
A lost man, gorgonized with
a dirl forming upon
his hairy philtrum
He would lulliloo, from his
cockloft, sounding like a
Hookah Hubble Bubble
escaping from a keld.
Notably strange indeed
A rare renifleur, who
collected kackidrosis
within a pooter bottle
a selcouth bagnio- callypgian
A lost man, gorgonized with
a dirl forming upon
his hairy philtrum
He would lulliloo, from his
cockloft, sounding like a
Hookah Hubble Bubble
escaping from a keld.

Racing to Flower
( a Renga )
bluebells bursting—
swallows over Sahara
chasing their rebirth
racing to flower
before air becomes acid
like no other spring
or vengeful hornets
killing bees as they forage
—nothing will grow
pandemic—
warm days come on wings
but who shall harvest
far from a garden
more silent than birdsong
__empty streets

Seasonal Reflections
Spring greens defy any snowy residue
Transformations like approaching without a warning
Summer takes an unprecedented swat
Heat kills everything
What’s left isn’t always pretty
Fall stuns us with maroon vibrancy
Some little leaf offerings
Perhaps apologizing
For dying foliage
Winter doesn’t answer back
Quiet fractals do all the talking
Transformations like approaching without a warning
Summer takes an unprecedented swat
Heat kills everything
What’s left isn’t always pretty
Fall stuns us with maroon vibrancy
Some little leaf offerings
Perhaps apologizing
For dying foliage
Winter doesn’t answer back
Quiet fractals do all the talking

renga: writer's block
silent night
air cleaner shows blue smile
goose flesh quacking
no garden songs
single lamp accusing
shodo unmoves
light box sputters
fingering modern rice paper
“your kung fu is weak”
sunlight scatters floors
eight buddhas dusting shelves
smells like death
turkey pecking roof
watch silhouette frozen
goddess laughs at last
air cleaner shows blue smile
goose flesh quacking
no garden songs
single lamp accusing
shodo unmoves
light box sputters
fingering modern rice paper
“your kung fu is weak”
sunlight scatters floors
eight buddhas dusting shelves
smells like death
turkey pecking roof
watch silhouette frozen
goddess laughs at last

Criminal Blood Christenings
Pregnant criminal docked
“Eighteen months” snarled Judge -
Adoption to deliver baby from crime.
Through tears, noticed
Infant’s tightly clenched fist,
Cradled for last time.
Salubrious suburbia
House glistened glittered.
Proud party, homecoming
Guests cooed –
“Our new addition.”
Cameras flashed.
Child opened hand,
Onto carpet rolled
Midwife’s wedding ring.
*Not submitted on my main page. If this contravenes competition rules, will happily do so. Rob

Why can't we ?
As we wake again
In this broken world
Controlled by faceless beings
We must ask ourselves Why
We can't do the things we want
Unless we get the nod
From some unscrupulous bastard
Who sits inside their tower,
Break free
Do the things you want
As long as no pays
In this broken world
Controlled by faceless beings
We must ask ourselves Why
We can't do the things we want
Unless we get the nod
From some unscrupulous bastard
Who sits inside their tower,
Break free
Do the things you want
As long as no pays

In the dark
Soledad,
Her dad, turned dead, had died.
Found drunk was broke,
But stabbed and cooked.
In his boat alone,
wearing coat unknown.
The tide was strong!
They fought.
So wrong,
It was night.
That day,
He was killed, without light by him.
Some Ray, she read
But Killer they said.

Icarus' Last Wish
When Icarus
- prudent Daedalus' restive son -
having flown too close to the sun,
was descending to an unfortunate but certain death,
his fast approaching demise did not even cross his mind...
Burning down through thin clouds
a single thought obsessed him:
Would he ever, and how,
get to fly again...
