Dots of pain
My heart
my death
Perhaps
you’re spying
Wile
eyes
lighten dark and
linger near
dots of Defiance
lighten
dark my dear
line lips and
fill with laughter
choking

A Gluebook Poem
Bad Seed
Thankfully Thomas doesn’t ever actually eat the weird things he finds to chew on. And he brings them to me to trade up for cookies, so it’s hard to get too annoyed.

A Tiny Poem
These stones
this mess
most blanket to quiet
collected thoughts
But who could
recall the moon
from her thousand
wandering dreams

Taming Steel with Fire
found poem with gesso, acrylic medium, and found objects on canvas
10 x 8 inches
Taming Steel with Fire
in succession, each
a complete turn.
First the bloom,
raised bodily,
Then
the
snake
alive.
a warning
on its way

Solitude
Laugh,
Weep, and
Sing,
and the hills will answer;
echoes bound to seek you;
they turn and go.
and you lose them all.
This may be the smarmiest poem ever written. Ella Wheeler Wilcox was the ultimate Pollyanna, which annoys the crap out of me. I do love to “fix” her poems, though. I like to think of it as posthumous editing. Someone really should have told her that less is more.

Be
The growing soul aches
tiny roots,
dark
with inborn restlessness
to stir
strange seas
unfurled,
And vast shores
never dawned
what is
is a
restlessness of soul
urging
your upward reaching
spirit.

Worth
Dead wrong
it always comes
easy enough
when nothing tempts
your soul away
But it’s only virtue
that is
cumbered to-day
And hides
these
we find
but once.

What Is Best
I know each Wrong
has its purpose
as sure as the night
be long
the soul
means to suffer
there are no errors
in the quest
One of my life goals is to assist the immortal soul of Ella Wheeler Wilcox to find her inner goth girl.
