Since Spring has started to bring warm weather, thought I'd post a winter poem. Just because. DANCING AT THE WINTER FAIR the crisp air and your hand on my shoulder my wet pants cuff taps at my shoe a chorus of snowflakes sweep across our ears like whispers spinning into each...

WRITER I think of you in the market, your curved fingers Beholding the cool round redness of an apple. Then placing it carefully in the wire basket, It becomes a line on the page. I picture you in the garden, perched bird-like On the low, white stone wall, as the chirpy squeals Of...

ADAM AND EVE As I make breakfast -- cereal and toast, My vitamins having already been taken Like a sacrament to good health, I think of Adam and Eve Alone together in that wonderful greenness And did they love each other? Romping in perfect paradise, free from all sin Adam couldn’t...

SEVEN KISSES 1. The passing of magic between. Allotting the manna From our separate heavens To our one world insulated from all else. 2. A brush, a touch, A sexual caress in the sounds from our throats. 3. Pausing to gaze The magic moving back and forth, Back and forth, Back...

This is a poem I posted on a thread in the General Chat area about our "Impressions of Ideal Intimacy." It was suggested that I post it in this thread. Anyway, it's about someone I was sure I'd found that intimacy with. Wrong... she dumped me. Pieces of my heart scattered everywhere. A real...

COMMON EPITAPH No footprints. On Windblown sand they Danced, These ghosts. Led By loneliness and Rain A mystery made Them turn the Knife. Perhaps lacking, or Misunderstanding they Just Went along; said The rain was Cool When to them, It was brutally Cold. —...

In no LESS than twenty-five words, describe your shoes. :)

If you play matchmaker and bring any two fictional characters (from different novels or stories, please) together on a blind date, who would you match up, and why?

DISTANCE Funny how words on a page can play games with distance. You can be worlds away, then, suddenly before me. Shining on every missing piece inside me. Here, now, it's rainy morning, and stoney grey, While there you gather up the pale sun of afternoon...

Okay, what was the last music you bought or downloaded? I'll start. Yesterday I bought Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle. It's not new, but I just now got around to buying it. Lots of bright, jangly psychedelic rock. I think it'll be great for driving in the car this summer with...

A FATHER TELLS HIS SON Look for the one who Glances openly at you across The crowded coffee bar. Look for the one who Dances barefoot on the cool wood floor. Like the free raven Dark in her dark motion, Look for the one who Soars nightly across the memory of your day. She is the...

THE VIEW OF THE ANGEL Hunched among the stars He’d hear the music Of the two souls Who romped and played Similar as twins Around the boundless cosmos. Often he squatted even higher Because the love of the two souls Lifted each other. And if they touched, Tiny explosions would...

After I Come Sometimes after I arch and silently scream Your name, I feel as if I have died and blown away. Sometimes I feel as beautiful and empty As the shed skin of a snake. A euphoric echo. Sometimes I will rise and set like a weak sun In the chilled web of winter, a pale...

CIRCLE Down the alley Around the Apco station The brown paper sack Gets passed from mouth to mouth; The sacred rite, The cool burning cure for the chill. Brittle-boned and broken, Who are these bent men With brusque faces Dark with the weary world? As I walk past, to my...

DANCE I only know this vision of you comes to me: Under stars Of a bright, black sky you dance Barefoot on the shiny meadow. Your eyes are closed. Your arms are outstretched. Your hands are gracefully limp. You are no longer in need of breath. You are hearing the perfect song...

Do you listen to music while you read? If so, what do you like to listen to?

with a huge cup of coffee, a smile on my face and memories of last night's dream of Montana Wildhack. Or was it Nurse Ratched? Oops. Anyway, a big, goofy hello to all. Nice to be here.
