The machine answers. /
Your future it will bestow /
For a Devil’s nickel.

Reaching for the stars /
I tripped over your full moon heart. /
The heavens were in your eyes.

There once was a writer of note
Whose writing barely kept him afloat.
Good and bad
He was a naughty nautical lad.
His body of work had taken on some bloat.

Join the Creek Crew /
Saturday Nine to Noon. /
T-shirt for you?
The road less taken /
Rattles like a bare spring tree /
Only lonelier.

Savor every word. /
Turn the pages respectfully. /
Arm the mind and heart.

Let us hang the Moon /
Tonight and forever: /
You, me, Sun, and Love.

There once was a writer extraordinaire
For the less talented he did not care.
Then one day
His ghost writer gave him away
And credit with his mom he had to share.

As I sit out in the rain /
Pondering life all the same /
A pond appeared across the way /
Growing larger and larger throughout the day /
Until the time when night fell /
And I could not tell land from water very well. /
But as the sun rose, I will vouchsafe, /
It’s no fun being in a watery grave.

The oppressing hand /
Binds through fear and not respect /
Embraces your hate.
