Poetry is for the soul
Wine is for the body
St. Peter----Do you stock Merlot?

Oh to be seventy-five again,
Says a nonagenarian
But I'm not complaining
Says the cheerful old man
It's just that looking back
Provides a longer time-span.

The Lake

Looking out at the lake
I see it display many moods
Not its own
But mine

On Meditation

The Buddhists say
To clear the mind
And achieve emptiness
Follow your breath

Why is it when I
Breathe in, breathe out
Emptiness is replaced
By a poem in its place

Voices

Here stands Joan of Arc
Clad in mail and iron plate
Her voices speak
And decide a Nation's fate

Poets

Poets are always looking out a window
As they struggle to get the words right
Revisit and revise
But do not plagiarize.

A ****** Spot

Out, out, ****** spot
Cries Lady Macbeth
As she tries a new detergent.
