Place to tell a story
Or give rhyme to full verse
Yet remembering first
It is all about the words
Rare ones as yet unheard
Poignant typed ink to share
A larger world out there
Share your words without fear
Shout loudly so they hear
I’ll make another choice
Shout here and save my voice
Pine Box
Do not send me off this way,
With tears and woeful cries,
Let me think that my last day,
Will be seen through happy eyes.
I’d Like To Buy A Vowel
These are the gems amongst the stone,
Consonants cannot stand all alone,
“A”, “E”, “I”, “O”, “U”, and “Y”,
Find in each word their alibi.
Tick Tock
Tick tock, tick tock,
Yells our life’s clock,
Passing so quick,
Each rapid tick.
Indelible
How hard would we laugh,
Salted smiles from glass rim,
You would still be just her,
And I would still be just him.
The Five Civilized Tribes
The Creek and Chickasaw,
Ill-fated Seminole,
Cherokee and Choctaw,
Never again made whole.
Whittled Words – Nonet Poem
The Nonet poetic form is fun and simple. It’s a 9-line poem that has 9 syllables in the first line, 8 syllables in the second line, 7 syllables in the third line, and continues to count down to one syllable in the final (ninth) line. No rhyme scheme or meter to be bothered with, so it is just that simple.
Dreamy
As incantations blew in the wind,
With whimsical words spoken low,
Chanted breeze caressed each limb…
Well Suited
You put it on like a tailor-made suit,
Something crafted with a purpose,
Powerful with good looks to boot,
It fits perfectly where every curve is.
Sahara
You are my vampent desert,
My scorched, dry earth,
Your love as shifting as the sands,
The pervasive grit that scratches with your words,
Creeps into every opening of my soul.
Unedited
God forbid we ever be revised,
In the journey to masterpiece,
Polish is not needed in the least,
If perfection has been surmised.
