Sad Would I Be
Sad would I be
Where it not for thee
My foolish pride thy power despise
It can not triumph o’er the wise

It’s August now
It’s August now
That my dread locks
Are graying
But I still
Vvisit the gay
Chat room
To see what
Our youths
Are up to.

Elm Winged Keys Fall
Elm winged keys fall
Bounce off leaves
Cleave air, cover concrete
Attempt another flight
When edged on by starling wings.

Poetry Is Emotional
Poetry is emotional
There is no shelter from the confusing
Emotional weather that governs
The landscape of our mental garden.

Who you be
Who goes there
Knocking at my door
Who is smart to
Take apart the
Piano strings
That can not sing
Who you be
Wishing to love me.

Begging For A Poem
I always love
To began a begging
Of what words travel
With observation
Extensively on
My side

Yes I
Watch and wait
A poem’s birth

Peppercorn Dandy
Peppercorn Dandy
Like to make candy
Out of anything that he could find
Just add some sugar to malt liquor
And boil the whole thing down

I Trust In Nature
I trust in nature
Of her beauty and utility
I trust in god
Of her righteous needs
T trust in my soul
Its outward and inner wants
To trust that nature and god are one.

Alienated poets
Alienated poets
Watch your culture
Tend to the mystery
The masses provided
A rush pleasurous
Memories minded from
Our collected minds
American to the bones
A lusty song to move on by.
