From the past

Cast in a mold. Ugly I feel it pressing, saying, change, welcome! my cold cruel conformity. Let me wrap myself about you until you become no one, in a crowd of no ones. Struggling, I keep my foot out, my fingers dig at a crack, unless I escape the future I face forever running in circles, going... Sign in to see full entry.

The strange love of Rinaldo and Stephanie

Rinaldo and Stephanie were those special lovers, soul mates. When they were near each other their nerves would stand on end, the air smell sweeter and little birds would twitter in their heads. This story is based on a dream I just had. I present it here in abbreviated form just to get down the... Sign in to see full entry.

An ode to myself

I woke up this morning Busted down sad and blue I needed a little smile So I knew just what to do I clicked on that old food4thought My face just lit up He really knows how to hit the spot! He can run prose Right up your nose And if he takes the time He can bend a rhyme So it looks like some... Sign in to see full entry.

And so at this moment

A moment history has been Churning Toiling Pushing inexorably forward Glacial in it’s progress And now that it’s finally here The dream Becomes a man Who must fulfill a dream Or be deemed a failure. Not just for his own ambitions But the ambitions of those like him The downtrodden. Born into poverty... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepy time rhyme - or not

It is time For the last nursery rhyme Before I lay down my head And characters come alive From the books that I’ve read. There’ll be the cat in the hat And Tom Sawyer The cat and the fiddle And maybe even a lawyer. I’ll travel to Key Largo To visit Dr. Zivago In Tinkerbell’s castle Flying to the...

Oh! What an internet web we weave.

I sold my E I sold my Bay On Craig’s list The other day. I put my face In the book And now my space Is a very private Public nook. If there’s something On which you want to bet You can find it On the Internet. If you’ve got the patience If you’ve got the time You can buy anything On-line. Here’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter sculpture

The icicle hangs delicate as the lace curtain in the window. Frozen in time its time is short, shorter the longer it gets. The lens of the icicle turns the world around much as winter has transformed mere drops of water. Sign in to see full entry.

I thought I dreamt this when I was awake

When dreams hiss and slither intertwining, reality slips and melts dripping into the abyss. Frog headed birds swim through the ice cubes in this drink of life we are about to be drunk, by what we know not! Down now past the tongue turn left at the light look out! A train full of cats sails by... Sign in to see full entry.

When the medicine wears off, a re-run

And the room stops spinning The free-floating smiles Slink back into their bottles Then it’s time for reality To return, Durn!
