By day I write
and hide from night
By night I hide from myself
That’s when the demons appear
escaping their hidden shelf
~
They spill my ink
won’t let me think
I’m forced to quit too soon
Then I’m left with nothing to do
until the setting moon
~
The sun will rise
to blurry eyes
And off again I’ll venture
I’ll try to have a brighter day
But darkness remains unsure

My goal’s now halfway.
I write in rhyme all the time.
Nothing’s good to say.

Await sunny skies
Awaiting truth that’s a lie
All’s waiting to die

For those who listen
Nature’s voice beckons sunrise
New day dew glistens

Harness happiness
Bound with joy or tears shall fall
Smiles support us all

When dominoes fall
patterns arrange, something’s gone
while something is made

Pebbles skipped, rings rise
Waves wander to greet the skies
Pebble’s lost, what is gained?

A Sunday paper poet
Filling in the blanks

Traveling through time
Searching for the perfect rhyme
Seconds tick, hours chime

To hatch, toil and feed
Dangers lurk, survivors breed
Spawning death, life freed

Early morning chill
tweets subside with fallen leaf
Summers’ fall, Falls’ rise

Is fiction abstract
fantasy or objective
non-reality?

Sunrise awakens
dreams put to rest, minds wander
another days quest

It’s all fun and games
Until inevitably
An I gets poked out

wild side and ran with the bulls,
limped home, crawled to bed

Batman, why’s Robins eggs blue?
It’s because of you!

and flies like a bug, yet not?
It’s a humming-bird.

Victorious star the moons plight
Peaking from the blanket of night
Blank sheets warmly beckon askew
Water boils, beans grind, minds brew
Sheets fill blank to dark with light
*
Air surrounds all with bright
Life returns to deadened street
Sound returns to lively feet
Sun awakens to night’s sleep
Darkness shallow, day is deep

We slash and burn
For what we yearn
Drilling holes, no concern
Spending time we didn’t earn
Death devours, we don’t learn
Once gone there’s no return
Replaced we’ll be by roach and fern

A hole’s empty space
to fill, yet space is a hole
full of excitement
