Poem - News Gal

Her hair -
so straight
I bet
it's curly

Dream

A ceramic dress -
to a lace one -
gold.

I slipped on
and flitted about
room to room
street to street
free and beautiful

Dreaming October 12, 2014

Last resident's remnant.

Last resident's remnant

Where did you come from?
Lying on your back
legs up
still as death -
a roach.

When asked - What rejuvenates you?

Rejuvenate Me!

YOU  rejuvenate me -
your jokes and smiles
your  funny faux pas 

I rejuvenate me -
my poems
my drawings
my humor

NATURE rejuvenates me -
her breezes
her clouds
her rainy, misty days,
a purple thistle
in the sidewalk crack

When?

When?

A week ago, I wondered
when you'd show up.
You're late this year
leaving us to wait 
while you linger in other places.

We are having
a lovely time
as things are - 
sinking into a lazy
complacency - actually.

But the thought of all
you'd bring -
your breezy ways,
your color,
the sound of you rustling about 
makes me wonder -
when?

Then, finally, today!
I guess the earth
tilted just enough -
the precise degree
and you arrived
in all your color,
crispness 
and salutations.
A late October -
Autumn

History - a mystery

History - a mystery

Golden boy
King of Egypt
Chariot racer
Youthful, tragic death 
Enclosed in a dazzling sarcophagus  
King Tut

Incestuous 
Brother-sister-parent
Born deformed
Club foot
Wide womanly-hips
buck teeth
King Tut

1st and 2nd editions

1st and 2nd editions

Everyone knows
The first edition
Is a learning run
Expect some errors
And allow for the
Lessons to sink in
Making room for a second edition

Finding Faults

Looking at errors
One may miss out on what is
Correct and lovely

When I'm Sixty-four

When I'm Sixty-four

I was only thirty-four
 prime-time
I fell, you fell, we fell
UP.

A grand ride
30 years of
the best
the most productive
the most creative
the happiest

now I'm 64
thanks be to the universe
and we're still falling UP.
