POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write a lot of procedural stuff for work, I’m here to expand on my creative side and to be inspired by others.
The Nat
She of fuzzy hair
And serene balance. My wise
Friend and confidant
And serene balance. My wise
Friend and confidant

Green eyes twinkle with
Bittersweet longing. Her life
Full of confused hope

Ode to a Carnivore
Lamb, bacon, steak and chicken
He loves them all without exception
Roasted, grilled, fried, all finger lickin’
In each of them he finds temptation
Yet for something exotic he does yearn
Lemur, ostrich, panda, penguin
What delights can be found at a zoo!
How to access them, his main concern
The more he plans, his desires lengthen
If he pulls this off, oh, what a coup!
By night he determines to strike
His plans in place, recipes prepared
So stealthy he is almost ghostlike
Little does he know, how much he’s erred

Horse Play
Trot I call of the
Mighty Star. Canter he hears
And away we go!

The Fear
Nervously he approaches
Hope, anticipation, fear and dread
Flooding his senses, rendering him mute
She smiles, unaware of his base desire
He’s the joker, the funny guy

His awful jokes, her playful groans
She loves his awful banter
But he’s all bluff and bluster
His mouth of sand, his words desert him
The fear rises to his throat
Threatening his suffocation
Another lost chance, despair unfolding
The fear of humiliation overwhelming
Confused by his sudden silence
She...

Futility
Two souls searching for
Connection. Afraid, alone,
On separate paths.
Connection. Afraid, alone,
On separate paths.

Puff
Around me you curl
With carcinogenic glee
Haze of joy and death
With carcinogenic glee
Haze of joy and death
