My new verse takes less than 30 seconds to readMy new verse takes less than 30 seconds to read,
unless you're a very slow reader indeed.

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

The tattoos all over the body of that young ladyThe tattoos all over the body of that young lady ~
what will they look like when she's seventy or eighty?
I'm afraid the ass of that sweet young lass
smelling flowers above her reclining lover in the grass
will slowly start squatting down on his bearded face, alas....

Life Is Like A LeafLife is like a leaf
Staying in high
Staying in the middle
Slowly by seasons
It changes it colors
Then, shows its beauty
Lastly, when the time comes
Well done, well drop....

LoveLove is a word
It's a confession
It's a glance
It's a warmth
It's an attention
It's space longing
Someone in the center
Someone to fill the void
Someone to prove
You are worthy of love....

The Family Reading Room
The reading skills of many men
it’s said, would improve significantly
in the “reading room” when seated
with the printed page, and facilitate
that daily regularity most needed
to prevent stubborn constipation
with an easy smooth evacuation
much less improve or alleviate
a halting grunting vocabulary.
To what extent he has success
that is anyone's guess.

When I was still smoking two packs a dayWhen I was still smoking two packs a day,
struggling each morning to hack the phlegm away,
my wife would get down on her knees and beg me to quit,
that's how afraid she was I was gonna die from that sh-t.
And so I'd say, "For you, Honey, anything, okay?
Just not today.”...

Highlights of my first Easter feast with my new congregationAt the Easter buffet, the lady sitting next to me said,
“You know what honey?
Your jokes ain’t all that funny."
I said, “You know ~ I’ve been told that.
So, that’s kinda old hat.
So, can I serve you this breast?
Or would you prefer the thigh of this bunny?"
For the next joke I told, the pastor...

pockets full of goblin hands
fine scarf wore the goblin
tucked into some goblin pants
fine brogues wore the goblin
laces full of goblin craft
fine top hat wore the goblin
brim full of goblin laugh
fine waistcoat wore the goblin
over the top of a goblin vest
fine outdoors stood the goblin
of an evening full of goblinness

All Glory To GodIf you want to glory
You glory in the Lord
All things for His glory
Before you drink,
All glory to God
Before you eat,
All glory to God
If you receive a blessing
All glory to God
We must decrease
God must increase
If you judge someone,
Judge yourself first
For before honor is humility....
