Millennial Magic

Children told to fly

Grow without roots in the ground,

Yearning for magic.

Reveries of Summer

Pastoral scenes lit

By gold, summer's aging sun;

Truck-driving barefoot.

New Skin

The sun shines again;

Sleep has shed yesterday's grief--

A snake in new skin.

Struggle with Sadness

Struggle with sadness:

Finding the silver lining, 

Losing it once more.

Tulip Tree

Ballet slipper blooms

Blush, preceding green leaves' birth.

Spring springs forth; rain falls.

Hunger

Modest life's delight
Or wealthy time-card punching?
Hunger--food can't quell.

Teabag Hospital

Teabag hospital:

A row of Earls and Ladies

To resuscitate.

Darwin the Poet

Darwin's diary,

More than a naturalist,

He proves a poet.

Cramps

Sometimes I think cramps

Are my body telling me

Exactly who's boss.

Purviance Pyramid

Motorhome and bike,

Purviance Pyramid man

Seeks to fight chem trails.

Planted

My soles have their roots

Planted firmly in the soil.

No air-walking heels.

Stories

Even with the news

Facts meet the ethereal.

Stories are magic.

Blink

Where does the time go?

Be sure to live this moment.

Blink, and time has passed.

Stolen

Poem in my gourd,

Growing in the morning, then

Stolen off the vine.

Grandpa Ed

Wishing you wellness,

Pondering loss from afar,

Beautiful spirit.

Groundhog Day

Marmot scientist's

Groundhog Day celebration,

The talk of the lab.

Covered, Uncovered

Covered, Uncovered.
Lady in a Hijab drives

A Convertible.
