Dew drenched rose petels,
Winter’s perfect deception,
Season’s seduction!
Don’t be deceived by the lissom rose’s seductiveness; with her sharp claws and long fangs winter lurks in the background to take you in to her freezing  embrace!
Me
The most rhymed word
In the poetry world is
Me.
That reveals volumes about
Us.
Let the light shine above,
let it foray its way in the dark.
For you and me to make love
trees have to grow in the park...

Let the water flow through
let it find its way out of trouble
For us to remain true,
the flowing water has to burble...
Milky Way collides
With Andromeda; the result?
Wait, four billion years!
What do Trump
And Y2K have in common?
Some.
One's a whimper,
The other a bang.
One was simple,
The other, orangutan.
Both, misleading.
Tip of the cap to T.S. Eliot
My apologies to the orangutans.
The hesitant shadow
of a melancholy poet,
while walking on it's
wobbly undefined legs,
result of light losing to darkness,
speaks to the alert poetic self,
listening with perked up ears,
in a strange dialect of darkness
about 'being in nothingness'
Too much concrete and tarmac
separates your heart
too much tongue wiggling
can make you deaf.
A poet knows no cure
from the sinews of song
wrapped up tight
in silence between each word.
You can thumb a lift
down the highway
talk non stop like your wizzing
too much amphetamine
be uptight over nothing.
Hear the silence call to you
while in the midst of a crowd.
Poetry has your heart
and you know, you have
to follow it.
