Gray, gray, the sky is gray today. White, white, snow everywhere in sight Red, red, my throat is red. I’m home in bed. Blue, blue, wish the sky were blue, don’t you? Yellow, yellow, no sun today for this fellow. Black, black, once I close my eyes, lie on my […]

Four Deer in a Field
Four deer in a field under the moonlit sky Peacefully grazing, watching the night go by Slowly I approach, looking for something there A rustle in the brush, perhaps a fox or a hare… Quietly walking, with each step drawing near To the beauty gently resting — soon ridden with […]

Beautiful Killer
A pretty purple flower – so deceivingly beautiful Thin green leaves intertwined—a crush of death Below the soil surface parasitic roots Grasping, clutching, sucking the nutrients—and life The leaves of its host – grain for daily food Yellowing, sapped of strength Meant to feed a family That may now go […]

Significance
Speaking softly, saints surround Sorrowful sounds, someone’s spent Soundly sleeping — sad surprise Sobering slow serpentine Sinful, selfish situations Spirits, sex, stuff Squabbles, serial simulations Satisfaction … so sadly slight Surreptitious stealth Slick skewing, sloth Sly salutations, sordid speaking Squalid stench, significance searching Sirens’ screeching sound Serious surmising “So-long someone” […]
