Beyond dark
And light,
I face
Eternal night.
On Awakening One Hot Summer Morn

And a wannabe sugar babe named Maddy.
The Poet Sees
The poet sees
Young women’s feet
Stamp on autumn leaves.
And writes a rhyme
To fleeting time
Who will defeat
All he sees.

When A Man With A Face Most Ruddy
When a man with a face most ruddy
Decided to walk mud all over my study,
I took out a gun
Which caused him to run.
And his face it became not so ruddy!
A Very Good Friend Of Mine
A very good friend of mine
Is fond of women and wine.
As for me
I prefer tea.
And I never cross the line!
