of the human race ? we mistake our place and
perhaps that's the throttle of our mystery

for what it's worth i am of this earth and the
earth itself has a birth in me

c a r v e

the slanting sun  outwits the bedroom
                            carves in the morning knife
cavities balled into the mystery   a spent cartridge of night
bidden away is the bask   of a coupling umbrella-ed
(guilded by narcotic somnolence  and a few drinks)
now  each fearful  in face of the lover
       one wondering etiquette
    for the ridding
     of the other

alarm

wake up pup
eager those linkers
blink your blinkers
unsink from sleep
and stretch

for a four year old human child

wandering life
      self plunders
     an exploration clap
the heavens wane from a fever
        thank heavens ;
           it is all a trap

pep

cruelty was intent
bent only to effect harm
pep up in power
purely
as the action of a child

guppy

floody gusts of
            fought up clamoury
amour
      and the gums of our armoury
      that our cravy brain sustains
      mouthing
                              ...guppy

an addiction ditty

It Is The Dream...

of every writer to allure the reader.
To take words and amalgamate them
into an offering that are like candy treats that cajole.
They don't bring weight to stomach only mind,
and expands ones consciousness divinely.

Written ditty at times becomes doorway
to emotions whereby brotherhood of eyes
get to spin in splendor.

Yes to entice a reader
is the best compliment one can get.

Hurray to the dream.

First poem of day. Inspired by Scriptedsilence. Many thanks

Writer’s Block

My inkwell brims with verse unfit,
My speech tongue-tied; my page unwrit,
Yet though I be misunderstood,
Prefer I this to words of wood.

‘Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:
“Fool!” said my muse to me, “look in thy heart, and write.”’
- Sir Philip Sidney, Astrophil and Stella

Big City Livin'

I'm much too busy
with my own little dittys
to check on the pretty
wee lights of the city

Like the sims but you don't go outside
