Some so clever! some ...perverse!

'Sublimation'
I get some
solace
dear,
in writing
my misfortunes
down
in verses.
All the little,
(and not so little)
slings and arrows
and
reverses.
Now,
isn't that

Georgie Porgie, that lovable klutz
Drives even fellow Republicans nuts
He can't understand the mess they're in
Just keeps on flashing that goofy grin
John Kerry sat on a wall . . .

Waiting
Although my heart just wants to play
and cook a poem every day,
This mirthless mind of mine refuses...
So while I'm rueing . . .

She would come to it
With her usual flair,
Slap on her makeup
And brush up her hair,
Touch her eyebrows
With fine fingertips,
Lipstick her lips,
And be at the ready,
All bits in place, . . .

'Spring Ain't Comin'
No, Spring ain't coming folks,
I got it straight from God.
The tearful pleas that you'd repent
He knows are
just a fraud.
The Big Guy says He's sick . . .

I've become my own personal zoo!!
The skin on my thighs could be an elephant's leather wrinkled exterior,
my knees have turned nobbily like the bony knees of a crane.
There . . .

'Reply to a Young Friend's Unsolicited Critique'
I think that I will never be
A lit'ry poet such as thee,
Although I'm told my verses sing
(and dimples to some faces bring) . . .

Still Moving 2.
Not academe.....no rustic hills,
an undistinguished place,
One wouldn't --couldn't-- say it thrills,
but it now shall be my space.

Alas, it's true, no thing will last,

This is where
Young Lisa lies,
( Take care,
For flies
Buzz where
Some dog has messed
Beside the stone,
Whose legend, Rest
In Peace, stands alone.)
Her tombstone tells
Of birth and death, . . .

prepare yourself for earnest lads
who'd woo you with their words of yearning,
for fervent swains --just like their dads--
who will declare . . .

"Come and see where Alice lies,"
He said. My eyes
Caught sight of tombs and graves
With rest in peace and Jesus saves
Carved on stone,
And then, there alone,
Beyond the rest, beneath . . .

#1 One way Conversation
God had called

So I took the lid off

I listen for . . .
