"umms" poems
Let's write so many poems
we could stack them
to the sky
let's roll them up
and smoke them
or just recite them
til we die
my head is full of poems
my shed is full of *****
my bed is full
of springs and wool
it's where I go
to snooze
you got another poem?
well submit it to the site
right now I'm fixing steak'umms
but I'll read them all tonite
so let's share another poem
let's dare another rhyme
let's declare that
there's none fairer
but beware of one of mine!

Friendly phone calls,
Simple voice-mails of succinct words,
Hmms and umms of hesitation and deliberation.
Speak it just so,
And listen!
Enthusiasm pours through one speaker,
And resounds on the other end.
An inquiry made by an intellect with intriguing intent.
Contriving combinations of causes for contacting
this woman of his wishful thoughts.
Today,
Happenstance brought happiness,
With a serendipitous sighting and salutation.
Tremors tiptoed across his voice,
Telling of his thrill at the encounter.
He ponders if there is reciprocation,
As she hesitates at recognition
That this could be more then friendly.
