Taxing Tax Free
The nice thing about
being an author is you
wrote your own paycheck.

More or Less
If you try sometime
you do find you get what you
tried for but no more.

Dueling Wits, I Coulda Had a G8
If a sum’s greater
than its parts, then parts lacking
must be a summit.

I’ve done lots of things.
But I haven’t done them all.
There’s still much to do.
And my list isn’t small.
~
My time’s growing short.
My energy’s sinking fast.
But I’ll never quit,
as long as I can last.
~
Dawn will start my days.
I’ll survive a wingsuit flight.
Languages I’ll learn.
And songs I’d love to write.
~
I’ll sail all the seas.
But that’s gonna take a while.
For now, smaller goals,
today I’ll share some smiles.

Perspective’s the Point
Renaissance people
love and share to forever grow,
rebirth’s far too slow.

Ills to Frills
Hate kills and love thrills.
Words will chill with fiery quills.
Never still pays bills.

YOU’RE FIRED!
Hatred in the heart
cedes peace to heat in the head,
when one dies, two dead.

Daylight Savings
Daylight saved for whom?
Sunlight gone when needed most
Autumn afternoon

Morning
Milk slime on coffee chilled
Cloudy air thick – Ashtray’s filled
Frozen words – Time killed

Itch
Pain and Desire
The itch when scratched itches more
Only time relieves

Trick-or-treaters rule the street.
Sweet tithes strangers greet.

Death by chocolate!

Haunting night of Mother’s gloom
Ghosts in sugar tomb

Silver ball in black sky
Inviting us all to die
Wake not – never cry

Night’s end – Day’s arise
Laughter, whispers, silent cries
Time is our disguise

Foresight
With age comes brighter
introspection, for the dark

Know thyself, climb high,
peaks fleeting, limits unknown –
