No Worry, No Hurry
I got the mail from the mailbox Then noticed some trash across the street. I checked both ways and crossed, To retrieve the tiny cinnamon whiskey bottle someone had tossed. I came back across and threw the trash in my can, I got back in my car and then, As I started out my driveway…
Poem – Sorry Butts
Tired of Looking at Your Sorry Butts Smoking may be enjoyable even as your most flagrant foible, But if you must persist, Please use restraint and resist The urge to Chuck your butt out your car window, And take your butt along with you in tow. Perhaps extinguish it in a bottle Before you dump…
Poem – Breath of God
What does the breath of God look like? Breath of God Vapors, on a cold wintry night When breath is seen Invisible made visible Momentary clouds materialize Only to dissolve Vapors, that float and move, towards, away from. Away from the mouth of God. Towards the one chosen. That is how a feather moves. On…
Poem – Sunset Surprise
This is a Haiku triplet. It came from an unusual evening. The sunset was supreme. It was a symphony. The sunset in the west was spectacular, a mysterious haze all aglow and ablaze as low clouds descended to the ground and there was a shroud of vapor swirling.

Once upon a time, the sunflowers got together, Marched on Washington, D.C. and marched right into Trump’s office. When they left, tens of thousands of them, Trump lay…
After IT – The Sound of Dirt
Two days later, the day of the funeral is mild and sunny. The hole in the ground is much smaller than he was tall. Or so it seems when vertical is converted to horizontal. But it does seem deep. The casket is lowered in and there is at least four feet between the top…
Restless Is The Kingdom
In the beginning, before there was woman or man, there were the animals. Recently, they have been disturbed by the POTUS ignoring scientific information and factual knowledge listening only to the voices inside his own head and the group of ignoramuses that he has surrounded himself with. The animals decided to convene a confederation with…
“IT” Changed My World
I can’t understand why she keeps repeating his name. “Harvey. HARvey. HARVEY.” Louder and louder, after his black and gold wind-up Benrus alarm clock ran down, its bell sounds making a decrescendo from shrill to soft to silent. My mom’s voice swells from normal to loud to shriek. As she keeps saying his name…
