Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.

Light through the limbs
Light climbs the night limbs, /
Touching bare the winter trees. /
Moon a ripe, white fruit.

Frames
Framed and not framed, us /
linked within rusted links: viewed, /
beheld, and set free.

Visions
I’m a rodent, you see. /
Not a weatherman, who sees. /
See the difference?

Night visitor
Ancient face abounds;
Deep into the night it shines.
See in darkness home.

Start
Buds in mid-winter /
clutch to tomorrow’s promise /
within today’s cold.

Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your answering machine:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

Legacy
Clouds and shadows painted /
With tints of winter sunlight. /
Bare limbs full of gray.

Compassion
Know in your heart: /
we are each others’ keepers. /
Compassion isn’t cold.

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.
