POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
If I could explain, I would have... but then I would not need to write the poem... art happens... sometimes it comes easy, often not. I can't explain.
The Drift
I see you get the drift
...of the flow.
'tis a gift, to get the drift... you know?
Many thanks for dropping in...
Stop by for tea...

just stuff it you-know-where, eh, what?

Looking out at Sunset
Phil and Sue stood on the balcony
where both were wishing fervently
that the scene they saw beneath them
was being caused by having eaten...
way too many doctored brownies...injudiciously.
The tableau below was a terrible blow
for it was plain as it could be...
that Phil's mamá and Sue's papá
were in the fountain... makin' whoopee..!
This was for true and they could see
just how those two were being free
with where their hands and lips were goin'
Some wild oats their folks were sowin'!

Tanka #6 ... the 'GO' in the flow
Current events
are no surprise
but shocking just the same...
made me stomach drop like a stone...
'twas all so horrible strange.

When ''they'' tell you
life is like that
they're bein' righteous
because it is...
just like that.
