POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing poetry is the catalyst in my quest for authenticity and the conduit through which I express my deepest thoughts and emotions.
Senryu - Ponder 11
A poser perhaps
striving to be the real deal
long journey to self

Write erotica?
dare I when it's been so long
sweet, sultry moments

Will It Come To This?
Compelled by latest technology
this poet sees the necessity
to label each piece of my poetry
as “Certified AI Free”
or, for the sake of brevity
CAIF one can easily say
or quizas CIAL
(Say-E-Ah-L)
if I take advantage
of writing in my
favorite foreign language.
I want the reader to know that it's only me.
whom for my verse
should be venerated
better said, appreciated
okay, just tolerated
frankly I'd settle for read
Soon each poet
will have to invent
their own, custom language
until...

If All Goes To Plan
If my life span's at least eighty-three years,
I've seven-thousand, nine-hundred and two
days to laugh, smile, sing, and shed tears
and as many rebirths
for with each Sunrise
a new life is given
a fresh privilege to prove
that I'm perfecting
this grand thing we call living.

Chaos In The C-Suite
This organization must turn around
before we’re summarily run aground
the CEO, the top of the heap
the steward over all aspects
of our once thriving business
is now become our Chief of Excess
Our day-to day operations head
is by impetuousness misled
now considered Chief of Obfuscation
sugarcoating our true corporate condition
blinding the other executives from seeing
our actual, abysmal state of well being
And they who, ostensibly,
maintain our fiscal solvency
are now ordained Chief of Fun
cavalierly...

Poetry Emulsion
Begin cooking,
on low heat,
The subject, concept, theme, or
fantasy stock.
Prepare and immerse
the grade ‘A’ nouns into the pot
Dice verb veggies.
Julienne starchy root metaphors.
Thinly slice similes
Slowly add them
into the simmering mixture.
Peruse your herb garden
cutting sprigs
of fragrant, colorful adverbs and adjectives
to give all components more flavor.
Season with
the salt of rhythm
Spice with expletives or invectives if you must, but sparingly
not to make the dish too...

Cold Comfort-Second Scoop
The role of an icecream scooper
is not a gig that's easy.
Especially on hot Summer nights
when the store
is super busy.
Customers uttering
dog day's mumbles,
lined up out the door
just to pick a number.
Believe me
icecream is like
scooping granite
when straight
from the walk-in freezer
and we could have used
a stick of dynamite
if someone
ordered Daiquiri Ice.
To prepare milkshakes
we'd slide the steel collar
into a paper cup
and mount it on the blender. ...

Cold Comfort-First Scoop
Yeah, I did my time
on the ice cream scooper line.
On my first day
the most senior server said,
“we'll call him Buffalo Bob.”
supposing the reference
was to the Howdy Doody host
and not to my corpulence.
I was told that
one would likely lose
their affection
for the creamy confection.
Not so in my case.
To this very day
Ice cream ranks
second or third place
in my dessert predilection.
My favorites
an orange sherbert, vanilla
milkshake,

Nyctophobia
When an impressionable child
darkness I could not abide
Every night when out went the light
petrified I lay in bed
Feeling so vulnerable, so isolated,
Left alone, with no protector
for they were fast asleep
or gone to heaven.
My only safe haven,
an impervious blanket fortress.
When overcome by fear
of creeping, crawling, slithering things;
the gnarly monster hands
reaching up from under the bed
my skinny neck to wring
I would frantically dive
deep under the covers.
Where, yes, it was darker still ...

Mata Furry
On a Spring day,
five years ago,
I heard a loud knocking at my front door.
Approaching to answer,
I heard a faint scratching.
First checking the peep hole,
I saw not a soul.
Then the bell rang.
Carefully, with trepidation,
I opened to see
a pure white bunny staring up at me.
Irresistibly adorable I let the little guy in.
Barely crossing our threshold,
the creature hopped
to our den
as if on a mission.
I said, “well aren't you bold” and...
