Bowl of clouds
The bowl of the sky, /
Nourishing heaven and earth, /
Overflows with clouds.

Double parked
Into the heavens /
Word sprang forth from the earth: /
“You are double parked.”

A dog, a doctor, and writer arrive outside heaven. The dog is let in because of its companionship. The doctor is let in because of her work saving lives. The writer is sent to purgatory to do another draft.

The colors of stars /
Constellations in bloom /
Heavens underfoot.

Guns clatter the ground. /
Clouds bulging with thoughts and prayers. /
Shrill tears from heaven.

The heavens are home /
to night’s turns of phrase and stars: /
love, mass, and light squared.

If my lover were /
Sunday, passion’s radiance /
would subsume heaven.

A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
“Oh my,” said the writer. “Let me see heaven now.”
A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.
“Wait a minute,” said the writer. “This is just as bad as hell!”
“Oh no, it’s not,” replied an unseen voice. “Here, your work gets published.”
