My arrow
Oh, love’s arrow,
Straight and true,
Toward my love,
Fly to you.
But if my love
Should ever stray,
May my arrow
End your way.

Worry is a leaf /
withered in the August sun, /
worthless in the fall.

Even for the oak /
the future begins small /
and hidden from sight.

“Pause to Consider”
Pause to consider
The Doctor and Mrs. Brain
Found a brain they couldn’t contain.
They named it Abby Normal
And tried to teach it manners formal,
But Abby would have none of it,
Shunned even the slight little bits
Of social manners and decorum.
Opting instead for the ugly forum.
One night Abby escaped.
Some say she ran to the cape
Or somewhere where she could hide
A place to display her pathological stride.
Now she attempts the rule the US
A tyrant ranting more and less
Throwing out decrees
Molesting as she please
Though none would ever believe
That the ugliness they perceive
From the man in the Oval Office
Has a brain full of Abby’s puss.

Hardboiled
Smoke paints the dawn. /
