George Haiku Washington - today's poem

George Washington

He won our freedom

- first elected president

but the dude owned slaves!

Cubist Alter Piece - today's poem

 

Cubist Alter Piece

 

Galloping scientists clip clop to Fagioli

to escape ghastly Gallic garlic gastronomy

a light what-doing of un-things what-done

 

Say you would freezeframe like a comic coyote  

that you might break free from routine thinking

and certain miserly moments mimed by monotonists

 

When gackling outside seaside circumambient gulls

ungallantly gag on begrudging un-swallowed gravel

take a beat to ask yourself twice what year it is

 

Them fenceposts fly past like time tunnel hoops

as you employ kempt crisis management fundamentals

gleefully grasping at things bypassing unknown

 

Seen wearing gorilla garlands, contestants gabble

overland in high speed 360 degree transit globes

as gleeful gadabout whataboutits say this phrase:

 

Galloping scientists clip clop to Fagioli

to escape ghastly gallic garlic gastronomy

a light what-doing of un-things what-done

Today's poem - Occam's Lawn Mower

Occam’s Lawn Mower

never take the path

of least resistance just to

gain the upper hand

today's haiku - "Hiking Break, Chilkoot Trail

Hiking Break, Chilkoot Trail

bare feet, ice cold stream  

wiggling my toes in outback

wilderness magic

today's poem - New Jersey Nocturne

New Jersey Nocturne

fingers streaming light

asleep in a slow dream’s wake

in rows of moonbeams

today's poem - evening prelude (another haiku)

evening prelude

perfumed air drifts by

moonlit-hazed conversation

women sip white wine

today's poem - Thank you very much

Thank you very much

King of rock and roll

King sell-out of cinema

Died on his toilet
