Shared hysteria
News blurts out gas price through the roof Go fill up your tank Check your bank account See the proof. People dying in wars far and wide Both sides wrong Say, “we are right in the name of God!” All the while trying to avoid the blood tide. Earth, melting or freezing? Weather gone mad, or just...

Spring's empty promise
Clouds lay flattened against the sky Stray rays of weak sun sneak past Finding a few stray blades of green Here and there. The wind stabs through my jacket And though the calendar says spring All I feel is cold is the thing. Breezes strip the warmth from my face There is no heat in the sun It may as...

Sloshing thoughts
The white trees Growing by the road Got swallowed by a toad Of gargantuan proportions. I’m glad he likes the tree And not me! The snakes at the lakes are fakes They are only the ropes they use To hold the water in. These thoughts splashed around In my head.

Day Glow thoughts
What does a thought look like? Lightning bolts? Electricity? Fire or maybe something else entirely. I don’t know if these thoughts rhyme Maybe they do, sometime. Of course it was painted in the '60s why do you ask? Looks great under a black light too.

Happy Birthday Peace Sign
Ok, maybe this belongs in another category, but for now, this is where I’m going to put it.

Night in winter
Stars tremble in the night sky frozen black by a winter attack. They shiver at the thought of falling only to crash onto the hard frozen ground and die not leaving a sound. The big dipper circles, all the ponds hard clad offer no fill, on the hill the waterfall is still. Icy fisted January clenches...

Linear poetry
I don’t know what that means, linear poetry. It’s just a thought that came to me, afloat on a mysterious sea, you see? The stone steps dripping with enthusiasm descend down a dark path lined by the Ivy of envy. We all want what the Joneses can’t have, something for that money itch, maybe investment...
