Caribbean Magic

December I stand soft warm wet sand almost it buried my toes
as the waves role towards
Surfers on boards
Soft Whispers in wind as it blows

Eden rock dishes seasalt his kisses
Paradise this is my dear
Sea turtles at St barths
Oh what a great  start... to a wonderful Happy New year

January 2025 Collage Poem: Best Not to Know

If God is real he has blue blood and wears a tin star
Miles and miles of special polish slips between glory and modesty

Blue is hot and hot is cool
Not precluding the toy tin star.
Titillation...or just tits? Best not to ask...

I went to the Rio Grande a King, came back a cowhand,
         best not to know.
Crafted chords stretch for miles. Make love to my soul.
         Best not to as...

Haiku 2025

 


 

late winter's bright skies 

buds and sprouts begin to form

New Year's vibrant song.

 

in the gentle breeze,  

mem'ries sprout with new life,  

herald new year's joy.

 

New Year’s breath tendrils

it must now be that season

melting snow and all
