Wouldn’t it be lovely if one neighbor Squashed, a plethora, or what appears Nose-wise, as six tons of garlic cloves, From an open apartment hall alcove, Broadcasting molecular gastronomy; Relinquishing its vivid aromatherapy, To nasal stations in an entire zipcode, Like scented telegraphs of Morse code. While spicy Allium and her twin Aroma Frolic, spreadingContinue reading “Garlicaromatherapy – A Poem”

Pineapple Rain – A Poem
Shade trees hover sheltering nature’s baked goods, Baby blue skies console with cotton candy clouds. While thunder teases, waiting for the y-east to rise, Occasionally checking his script for a cool reprise. Enter stage left rain bustles, her lines unrehearsed. Unprepared, the Sun blinks into the kabatic breeze – Quickly cupping her fingers through wetlandContinue reading “Pineapple Rain – A Poem”
Call and Response – A Poem
Sunset calls, the horizon responds with an amber umbrella, Twilight calls, night improvises psalms in dark hues Selah! Sunrise calls, Dawn choreographs virtual duwap a-Capella, Birds call, reproducing their feather lines again and again.

Wind Instruments – A Poem*
Summer’s glow bakes ink off t-shirts Its waves swaying drapery tassels, as Potted plants wilt into plucked roses. Some deploy target fans of paper lace While others mop handkerchief faces.

La Noche – A Poem
Iridescent twilight strides like a wooing peacock’s train, Confidently hovering over la noche’s blue celestial terrain. Twilight coaxes Sunset to extend her golden slipper tour, For the sake of adoring hearts uplifted by her gilded star. Car horns fitted in halogen coats and rubber pumps, crow. Denizens from the city night buses glow under streetlight,Continue reading “La Noche – A Poem”

Hula Hoops – A Poem
Summer icons of yesteryear: Like satisfaction hula hoops, Of backyard wading troupes. Hop scotch contests with pals, Winner takes the chalk pails. Castles in make believe sand, Crowned with scoops at hand. Iced tea drink from crystals, Jawbreakers and peanut brittle. Double feature Tuesday nights, Airport gazing incoming flights. Summer’s laisser faire invoice, Perennial freedomsContinue reading “Hula Hoops – A Poem”
