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 - SERENE VIBRATIONS
Near silent bus bliss.
Wheels’ roll back my sanity.
Homebound hermitage
Wheels’ roll back my sanity.
Homebound hermitage

STOLEN MOMENT
Benvenuto!
My name is Francesca.
I am ecstatic!
Finally another leather handbag
shares my shelf.
I’ve been forced to associate
with synthetics.
What brings you to the thrift store?
How horribly sad, I’m sorry.
Me? It’s a long story.
Your right, we’ve got time.
I’ll skip my early years…
Except to say, I was born in Italy.
I was a proud sacchetto di mano.
to a rich San Francisco socialite
Until that fateful day.
when my life and status
were irrevocably altered.
One beautiful...

INVOLUNTARY ACCOMPLICE
Oh to have been born suspenders
To support trousers without any shame
Instead I’m a belt that frequently renders
painful screams when wielded to maim.
I keep up the pants of a sometimes bully.
When he’s drunk, as a weapon I’m used.
If sober from loops he rarely removes me.
‘Cept in anger a loved one is bruised.
History used as justification,
“My daddy beat me black and blue.”
I was passed down by that generation
to ensure whippings continue.
Doomed to recall every child’s tear
Every cruel beater’s...

COLD ONE OR STEAM'IN
Barring negatives
We are comfort purveyors

Naiveté
Step by creaky step
ascending the attic ladder
blind to inevitable blindness
bound for hell where sight won't matter
Undeterred, defying
ecclesiastical threat
I find my turquoise beauty
prepared to aid and abet
Simply plugging her in
swells my mortal measure
flip her switch she begs
to touch the buried treasure
Wearing only a gray rubber disk
tremulously caressing the length
lovingly, playfully pressing the tip
intensifying seismic strength
Oh sweet Elysium!
ecstasy beyond reason ...

SENRYU: COMPASSION?
Just tolerated
Cared for without affection
What is love, really?

COUCH POTATO FOREPLAY
I hear footsteps.
Surreptitiously sliding
In between sofa cushions
Another hide ‘n’ seek begins
A blast! For me anyway.
Invariably I next hear
“HONEY!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE REMOTE?”
Pillows start to fly
Subsequently a barrage
of every cuss word
From the huge creature's limited lexicon
Easing to the floor
rolling beneath the love-seat
I hang with a long lost Wii controller
till fat, groping fingers appear
moving violently to and fro.
Grasp yields fur balls, candy wrappers, ...

STANDING TALL AT CARNEGIE HALL
My first gig?
Benny Goodman
It’s a shame
I don’t remember much
First day jitters and all
I do remember that beautiful
RCA 44BX that I cradled
Man she was sexy
And me, chrome-plated perfection
That was 80 years ago
Chrome now somewhat pitted
I’m still active duty
but in an emeritus role
Don’t grace the stage much anymore
I dearly miss some of my mics
Much shorter life-spans they have
I can work for another 100 years.
Just keep some WD-40 handy.
Blessed I am
To have...

SURFACE HEAT
The traveler's report perplexes
when he wrote of a visit to Texas
the season was Summer
the sun was out
but on the street there was no one about
Upon further investigation
and puzzled consternation
The people he found,
walking under the ground
in air conditioned elation
SUMMER MUSINGS
Once thrust into a Summer in Texas
You'll yearn to turn back to Spring
Intense heat, large bugs to vex us
Just hear the cicadas sing

MY WORLD TRAVELS
Standing in an expansive
Northernmost meadow
of tall golden grass
my world tour begins
a peaceful breeze blows
the long blades
gently tickling my face
smelling strangely of fruit
Emerging from the field
in the near distance
I spy twin shimmering ponds
approaching them
I part the surrounding rushes
awestruck I gaze
on the deep blue
crystalline waters
Mesmerized by these saphire-like pools
but unable to linger
I begin to ascend a gentle slope
quickly reaching its apex
I am met with...

ILLUSTRIOUS SUPPORTER
My name, frankly, is famous
Seen up in lights
“The Caine Mutiny,”
starring none less than Bogey.
Incomparable “Citizen Kane.”
I know they’re differently spelled
*but a Cane by any other name
does sound as sweet.
I’ve been lauded in song.
Like “Whoops there goes another…”
Wait, wait that's not it...oh yeah…
“C&H pure Cane sugar from Hawaii”
...da duh da duh da
And speaking of sugar...
I am immortalized
by the red & white striped
Christmas confection.
With the exception ...
