Suppose I could be a poet and writer...being I write poems.
found balderdash
laying deep in the chest
under ballyhoo and kerfuffle
I new I had it
but
never had a use
till today

Take a snowball
Now throw
Don't care if you got it tight
Keep the motion going
Breathy puffy mistrals
Aiding in the flight
Not often are we given chances
Chances to splash water
Chances to throw snow
Take the chances when you can
Grab it
Throw it
Splash it
Handfuls of delight
Take a snowball
Now throw
Don't care if you got it tight
Keep the motion going
Breathy puffy mistrals
Aiding in the flight
Not often are we given chances
Chances to splash water

Grab it

He was #Mars incarnate—raging across battlefields by Roman mandate. Where he led, victory followed. Eyes like emeralds, body and sword glowing with golden flame, he devastated masses. Once gold #threaded into his eyes, there was no mercy. All he left were husks drained of souls.

A marzipan cage; the house tastes of her. Everything she touches becomes hers, touches back. At night, walls press close, pulsing. She runs her mouth along a lip of cool glass. Domestic. The cat knows. Paces. The word is a fury, agreeing to purr. In small, slow circles.

Holy Writ
Grumpy preachers in leathered jackets
spit ps
alms
on the paving
slabs,
I drink
their words
raw,
like blood from a bitten lip,
and feel the city’s heartbeat
hammering my blistered bones.

8 Ways to Survive the World
One #sparrow for cheer,
two for good fortune.
Three in a tree
to keep us from harm.
Four grow too loud,
five make a family.
Six become friends,
and seven's a swarm.
Eight sparrows deep,
they return,
true to form.
