From nascent she leisured to latent,
Then apace, proceeded to blatant.

W. C. Fields and Charles Bukowski Walk Into a Bar
W. C. Fields and Charles Bukowski walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What’ll y’have?”
Fields says, “M’boy, I’d like two fingers of your finest misanthropy with a shot of vitriol and a splash of bitters in a glass rimmed with salt from the dried tears of crying babies.”
Bukowski ponders for a moment, then says to the bartender, “Make that TWO Reasons to Live.”
Size Matters
Grow your tales
Tall with myth.
But left to right,
The width of pith.
Here…This
“Here” is the first word of my poem
And lest you look away and miss,
The word that brings it to a close
Is nothing more than only “this”.
Attired Wish
And so to sleep,
Perchance to dream
That I might score one
For the team.
I’d settle, though,
Per dream to chance
This time, at least,
I’m wearing pants.
Agony and Ecstasy (A Writer’s Ode to Discipline and Bondage)
So alike, Muse and Mistress,
For I often find,
Both turn to artful pleasure: distress
When I’m so entwined.
A Half-fool in Love
If your glass be empty
And mine with water brimful
I’d make of you an optimist
And half-emptily stay whimful
(for Cait Brennan, whose many halves are fully filled)
Loving Words
Every smile you give is
A hundred times returned.
And every word of kindness is
Eternal kindness earned.
And from first the baby crawls,
To grave’s a steady climb.
But don’t despair for all’s a spree
In meter and in rhyme.
Nonsense Verses Thrice
BOB, A WORD
Here’s a word, its name is Bob
It wants to make good friends
Bob hopes you like how he begins
The same way he b-ends
AN ENJOYABLE OF TREATIES (WITH CONSEQUENCES)
Krutherlumps with creamycrumb
And buddlebuns au glubby
Swuzzle down with wizzlefizz
And end up hap and flubby
I HAVE A PAIR OF MITTENS
I have a pair of mittens
I keep them in a drawer
With silky thumbles, handywicks,
And many glovins more.
When midnight enters at the stroke
Of fourteen (in base eight)
The mittens up and walk away
Ain’t that pretty great?
