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.
Midnight Snack
Ham and Swiss on rye
with romaine lettuce,
slices of fresh tomato,
spread with yellow mustard
or the brown, pretentious kind,
lastly a dollop of mayo
turkey can be just as sublime
tummy rumbling
as the pen traverses the page
no mind the hour
or actually acting my age
I succumb to tastebuds
irresistible power
so, it's off to the fridge
alert saliva gland prods
to prepare and consume
the true food of the gods.

Senryu - Ponder 9
Waves caress warm skin
sunrise accentuates curves
serene sand-kissed nymph

Senryu - Ponder 8
This life, but a clause
in an infinite sentence
death is not full stop

Senryu: Hard, Beautiful Adieu
The face still handsome
yet he is no longer there
to paradise flown

Self-Written, Directed, And Performed
Been through the orientation,
Initiation, on-boarding and rituals
Seen all the training films
Read all the handbooks and manuals
practical, trendy, and spiritual
Consulted with family, friends acquaintances,
therapists, doctors, coach, and clergy
It’s high time
I live life my way.

January 2024: Haiku/Senryu
Attic squirrels
please rest, relax, hibernate
keep it down up there
World peace is achieved
one loving soul at a time
siblings are we all

World peace is achieved

Crater pocked Fall Moon
checks Sun, blocking borrowed light
face eclipsed, crown shines

Bowed, disconsolate
lifted, existence noticed
you love me. Really?

For decades tempered

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
