Herodotus Theory of WinterHerodotus thought that the sun,
When blown from its course, summer's done.
That wasn't quite true,
Was maybe coo-coo,
But thinking about it is fun....

A Hiss and a Bark in the Dark
A dog, with a wag and a bark,
Tried to play with a cat in the dark.
The cat, with a hiss,
Said, "You're missing the bliss,
Of a nap, you uncouth, furry spark!"

Sun's Solar Sass to the Moon's Pale Pride
The moon, feeling quite pale and serene,
Said, "I'm queen of the night's silent scene!"
But the sun, with a laugh,
Said, "You're just a half-calf,
Reflecting my light, you moon bean!"

Every DayEvery day is always such a good day with our good old friend Dave.

Every day we always share secrets we'll take to the grave....

Enter the virginsEnter the virgins we are,
My love does say to me,
He has a mask of intrigue,
As we bask in mild glow,
We're not frigid, I guess,
Love in the afternoon,
Languid, but molten,
Let go and let love,
He's gone again,
See you, perhaps,
Love you tomorrow at dawn,
Vestals somewhen.........

Time My Funny Friend"Time... Always here but never here." By Poet
Time my funny friend,
I cannot see you or feel you.
Yet time you are always with me,
from morning until night.
The clocks tick off,
the many minutes and hours.
The calendar takes off the 365 days,
52 weeks and the 12 months.
Time where do you live,
out in space or in the clocks?

Djinn Martini"Careful with the ethanol,"
Said a fume of whisper hush.
As a thundered bolt and fire ball,
Engorged the moment with a rush.
The itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny, yellow polka-dot martini,
Lit my bokeh mind and eyelids tender soft.
Astigmatism, couldn't see the genie,
Who puffed up in the rush and coughed.
"Cover your mouth, you elemental,"
I sneered at the legless haunt,
Dental...

Every Which WaySuzie lived next door to Tom, and their families were the best of friends;
Like toffee clouds, chasing rainbows, once the blue storm wildly spends!
Tom and Susie enjoyed playing together, since they were the same age;
Like fine art, in the age of colors, when beautiful became all the rage!
Bike riding and hide and seek, roller skating...

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part II...For two weeks Lester worked that pyrite vein,
and every day a brand new dollar came,
at the end he hug dug out two cart’s worth,
said Higgs, “Now that’s enough work in the earth.”
He smiled proud, they dragged it to the trains,
Lester still sure the old man was insane,
once loaded up, he said, “I will return

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part ILester sat in Lisa’s café that morn,
his eyes mindlessly staring out the door,
it was July of 1889,
and new work young Lester now had to find.
He’d left Jud’s ranch when he refused to pay,
did some small jobs, but not much came his way,
had heard some mines were opening up here,
but he might starve before they did,...

Mr AbbottMr. Abbott
Mr. Abbott bought a
steam powered Stanley
He felt it made him
look rather manly
He has a large
handlebar moustache
Constantly covered in
soot and ash
In his finery,
goggles and gloves
He would wave at his
imaginary loves
Over the hills
and over the dales
He would frequently stop
for supplies and sales
Horses...

Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth

frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets
did I lock the door
letter from a pocket
can’t reach that itch
tickly cough
grandad’s skin

Blinded by the LightBlinded by the light
Riding my bike in the middle of the night
Pity my plight
I ran over the foot of a runner in the night
I admitted my flaw, but then we both saw
a UFO with 2 diplomats
the runner he said "oy"
And in a ploy to annoy
A tractor beam pulled my bike and our hats.
They said "we...
