    Around and around it goes
    Abound and abound it shows
    Round without sound it knows
    Round, spider clown it flows

    Why do you crawl and comb
    On angel sculpture home
    of ‘Peace on Earth’ half dome
    ‘Good Will to Men’ you roam?

    My windy blowing might
    Upon your speedy flight
    Begone and out of sight!
    To an unknown tonight

    Another annoying poem about a small arachnida crawling on top of my angel figurine.

    Addendum: Added photo of my angel watching me as I work on Aug. 08, 2008 at 06:55PM.

    Eastbound crawling, slowly carry

  • 20070624-Largest Organ

    My bended fingers:
    From working so hard
    Un-straightened digits
    With some painful gout.

    My knobby knuckles:
    Staring like eyeballs
    By welcoming palm
    A fist to close its anger.

    My dry cuticles:
    Ragged with hangnails
    White canopy smile
    Dimples of snowflakes.

    My square, pointed nails:
    Trimmed closed to design
    Dark vertical lines
    Ridges as polish.

    My ten digit toes:
    Both index hammered —
    Right one towards top
    Left one to middle.

    Big toes — side bunions.
    Pinky callus and
    Under middle right.
    Heels of white train tracks.

    Head dander and flakes.
    Dry skin and acne.
    Elbows and knees joint
    Cracks like the dessert.

    Seven genetic poems of four-lined stanzas ‘describing skin conditions’ in free-verse.

  • 20070512-Life After?

    Go to the light lone moth in flight!
    Shiny and bright all pure and white
    Being alright without a slight
    Oh, blessed sight to one invite!

    What a delight! Place of sprite.
    Greetings polite, playing soul wight
    Dancing excite, passions ignite
    Loving full height, hugging so tight

    Some thoughts not right, a tad bit trite
    One cannot fight this urge of plight.
    Maybe at night in dreams of fright
    Bulb burning rite, heat takes a bite

    ‘Babel’ to cite, dead authors write
    Lifetimes recite, pen in hand sleight
    Free from contrite, knowing despite
    With second sight, love’s writ of right

    A ‘life after dark’ poem of four stanzas with eight syllables in internal and end rhymes.
