“Roles”

Roles

The clock floated free; /

the jack, pawn, car, and acorn /

left their roles behind.

“The Monster”

The Monster

The thunder outside /

Echoes storms speaking within. /

Love breeds its Monster./

“Daikon radish”

Daikon radish

My Daikon radish

Points to a fetish.

It’s a bit raffish

Lying there.

It’s a vegetable

That I’ll tell you

To dispel you

Of notions there.

Its shape suggests

That it’s erectile blessed

And why I guessed

That you stared.

But rest assured

Your point’s absurd.

There’s no aphrodisiac curd

Made the Daikon way.

“Morning”

Morning

Snow and yellow sun /

Hurl white into the morning. /

Touched by morning blue.

Eye see no wrong here.

Friendly light, dangling /

Fire of the holiday night. /

Thankful beginnings.

Green monk

Green monk of summer /

Bending toward the end of days. /

Seeding for the spring.

“Cool sun”

Cool sun

The autumn’s cool sun /

spurs not the bee to quickness. /

Flower’s empty hearth.

“The flash”

The flash

A flash of inspiration,

Showering the consternation

While trying to find usurpation

Because the damn thing won’t work.

Moments of contemplation,

Mental hiccups and gyrations

Have led to this perturbation:

Water and electricity to twerk.

The world in needed restoration

Could use so full lubrication:

Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation

Exploding with a jerk.

Photo finish Friday: “Way back”

Way back

I see you see me.

Haircut mirror on the deck.

The way back machine.
