wings

one
whose hands
give me wings

curiously choward

Choward,
the trickster mister
marks
"open here"
and forgets to make
an opening.

beauty

the modesty of your beauty
and the beauty of your modesty.

honest goodbyes

Au revoir.

recycling

After my failed attempt with oil paint
I enjoyed some green eggs and ham.

morado

¿Que está enamorado de?

glass

darling goldfish,

must you linger

in your glass? 

dreem

caramel

Caramel conversations,

winks of whiskey.

artichoke

There is a first time
for everything -
like being hand-fed
artichoke pizza.

bleeker

Mary the mailbox
dreams on Bleeker Steet -
she eagerly awaits
Mr. Mailman every day.

She knows by heart
the voice of his truck
the scent of his tires
parking by the curb,

her beauty
she yearns to boast
with dresses
of red, orange, gold

but for she knows
the fate
of her green dress
she can only dream
on Bleeker Street.

Miss Yolk

Mr. Bowtie and Mrs. Yolk

got married today.

It took a while

for her to find him - 

among the phonies

and the look-alikes - 

but she did. 

And now they are tastefully wed.
