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 7
Dearest poetry
I have not thee abandoned
quill's dormant season
I have not thee abandoned

Haiku - Ponder 1
Crater pocked Fall Moon
checks Sun, blocking borrowed light
face eclipsed, crown shines

Senryu - Ponder 6
Bowed, disconsolate
lifted, existence noticed
you love me. Really?

For decades tempered
forged in viccissitude’s fire
steeled for come what may

Pest Control
To rid a dwelling of bed bugs
one overheats the home
in Texas they've disovered,
to the utter delight of some,
if you heat the state, for months,
to one hundred and ten plus
you stand to rid a goodly portion
of the invasive Californicus

My Vow
I am truly sorry
that I can’t be
all you hope,
all you want,
all you need me to be
this I will guarantee,
with impeccable sincerity,
I will always be me
for better,
for worse,
In sickness,
In health
I can be none other
than my genuine self
that I can’t be
all you hope,
all you want,
all you need me to be
this I will guarantee,
with impeccable sincerity,
I will always be me
for better,
for worse,
In sickness,
In health
I can be none other
than my genuine self

Senryu Triptych - Ponder 3
After years training
I have achieved pro status
gold-medal gluttony
Homework aversion
dulls benefic impulses
no work no reward
Epiphanic thought
must eat right and exercise
DING, stop the presses!

Quit blues rumspringa
return to word-weaving farm
write, write, save your life

Slightly Scorched, Still Coping
Glistening with sweat
by extreme heat exhausted
I approach the window
between hell and paradise.
Angel of mercy
peers through the triple panes.
I pick up the phone handset…
she says "no need,
I hear your request"
Asking for my full name,
my date of birth,
petition validated
Angelic voice names the price.
Out from below the window
a heavenly portal opens.
Blessed cold air
caresses Sun-baked face and arms.
My debit card placed
in the silver drawer
pays my indulgence

My place is no showplace
replete with fragile
dust magnets,
museum piece furnishings encircled
by invisible red velvet ropes
be my comfortable guest
lay about on the sofas
walk hither and thither
wearing shoes or not
no room verboten
no carpet reserved
for special occasions
clothing, while not
completely optional,
is by no dress code bound
so, let your hair down
or up, or cue ball shaven
you'll be not judged
it's a be-yourself haven.
