Lucky Me
(Written by a guest poet today. I think it’s brilliant, but perhaps I’m biased…)
Kaleidescopic
Explosions of Love
Reside within me when I am
(a)Round
You

Born that way
Have you ever know such a flare
for trousers? That girl could put out
bright lights with her eyeteeth.
But then some people are just born that way.
They come out sucking on spoons.

Things that happen
Things that happen creep
with silent feet, urging
time with its machine parts.
Forward lurches, forward spins.

Crossward, downword
a cop-out,
could it be? but it
requires double the effort
owing to verticalness and horizontality.
surely, you can see
the beauty in the form, or
is it destined, just– perpetual
crap?

Insouciant teabag: a missyllabic haiku
Insouciant teabag,
its string slung over the rim of the cup,
awaits the kettle’s boiling

Everybody’s Birthday
It might as well be everybody’s birthday
today, passing people clutching
balloon strings in their fists. The air is ripe
for a a stampede of pogo-sticks.

I cannot
I cannot write a poem tonight,
it pains me now to say.
One could not have had a less inspiring
day than I’ve had today.
I could sit here and wrack my brain
and further ache my shoulders.
But I hope you don’t mind if ditch this for
a snack of yogurt and granola.

Spring
There was never snow
here and I know naught
about all these scarves and hats.
Mittens stuffed into my pockets
must have been planted,
the coat too warm to be mine
anyway; where did it even come from?

Inspired by Kimmy Gibbler
I know of one poem
inspired by Kimmy Gibbler
and now here is another.
If there are two
there may be others.
Anthological opportunities
in multiple volumes,
or a doctoral thesis.
A wikipedia article
at the very least, because
here is a cultural phenomenon.
The girl next door,
whose side ponytail threw her
off-balance. She was familiar
but not with knocking.
