My Dear Friend Whose Name is Apollo
My dear friend whose name is Apollo,

Alice
As I strolled through the great Crystal Palace
I was accosted by that wicked Miss Alice.

There once was a philosopher of this nation
Who claimed we are living in a simulation.

Punched him on the nose
He said, “my pain is a mere simulation!”

Whose pleasure it is to go sinning.
The good vicar Price
Warned me of vice,
So I left him with those women …

I am very pleased to host a guest post from Kevin. He has a new book of poetry coming out, and has included one of the poems in his post.
The Last Day of August
The final day of August
Brings Autumn’s coming chill.
Perhaps this is the last
Of Summer’s new-mown grass.
The eternal breeze
Rustles the leaves
And my once brown hair.

Melons
My fingers lingered
On cantaloupe melons.
A lady said,
“These cantaloupe melons
Are like snakes.
Alone in my bed
I considered her mistake …
