- 1
Glow worms wriggle out
Of snow-pleated grounds, searching
For the new year's star
- 2
If a horse hops and
Nobody is there to see
Did it really hop?
- 3
Long forbade this touch
Velvet ashes cross my chest
Long for heaven's branch
- 4
Drink in morning gin
Shots ring, a placid whimper
Minnow riverside
- 5
Apple of my eye
Oriential beauty, nose
sloped, perfected chalk
- 6
Part the heavens, see
An angel fell yesterday
Lemon meringue past lips
- 7
Sable, star-crossed lovers
Albanian rugs and furs
Owl hoots and swoons
- 8
- 9
- 10
Luminescent rat
Freeze-dried ass, a glass femur
walks in pace with same
- 11
Dazed awakening
Banana peels are funny
shoes for walking down

Tarp laid 'cross my back
A rough draft not suited for
Prying eyes, gleaming black [This is 6 syllables. That's embarrassing but I won't change it.]
- 18
Unevenly parts
Thrashed with delicacy, my
Stomach churns inward

- 1
Greeting sickly spot
Icy trellises of a
Shorn vortex keen blow
- 2
Blessed to blossom
Cicadas whine 'fore I wake
If only they were frank
- 3
Fine whore to abhor
Navel-gazing through pink sin
Heavens forgive you
- 4
In as many words can
Gravel course along the coast
Paint a seeded heart
- 5
Scalpel sluiced river
Romantic vivisection
Wheat seed sown along
- 6
Rosy paw-prints on snow
Fur redolent of honey
Adore bleeds through kitsch
- 7
Horizon gloats gold
Courage on dusted snout lay
bare, saucers star-gaze
- 8
Inferno hails as
Dew ferments in absentia
Clouded Czechic glass
- 9
Sandro's coy smiles
Manchurian angst blooms under
Lavender mists
- 10
In the verdant glades,
Graceful deer should bound and play,
Eerie stillness lies.
- 11
Languid memories
Flush against unwilling clouds
Float past easily
- 12
Golden halo of
Reverence lay sheepishly
On the steppes surmised
- 13
Zephyr blows fiercely
Across quieted meadows
Noted apathy
- 14
- 15
Snow tendrils cling to tree limbs
Branches bowed in winter's hold
Icy fingers, frozen still
- 16
Nestled in a cozy bed
Hibernation's peaceful sleep
Rabbit dreams, safe and warm
- 17
A delicate arch
Long perched upon golden winds
Stirred by wind to dust
- 18
With silky wings I'll
Cast thee down, now cursed to live
away, pushed aside
- 19
- 20
Fur coat in bed, I'm
amused easily, stars and
sprinkles strewn like snow
- 21
- 22
Meek doe, meek doe, tell
How have you mistaken this
Log for your mama?
- 23
Now, render it in
Oils, titantium white
Sepia, baby blue
- 24
In grimy pastels
A lamb encased in frosted
glass, a sight to see
- 25
Mine, gilded rosettes
Yours, a hippopotamus
Beauty finally mine
