NOTHING
I can do naught but think of you.
What kind of hold on me have you
that I cannot sleep?
I hear your laughter in my dreams.
I cannot breathe.
I find your scent on my clothes.
I cannot eat. . . .

I'm a tad confused y'know
The tadpole said to the reed,
The tad is a lad who swims all day
Yet is sad beyond the weed.
I come here often, thinking of you
You grew up here with me, . . .

Ellison Ellsworth said,
" 'Ells Bells"
Every time on the ice he fell.
He'd pick himself up,
Brush himself off
And climb to the top o' the dell.
Ellison lived

Just my opinion
for what it's worth,
I think your work is worthwhile.
If you are not published
You sure should be.
Your verse you should compile!

time cannot be stilled.
it keeps its own clock
ticking past
the sun dials
in the light
of day.
it races through
the window panes
in the sky.
it circles around
weather vanes . . .

My tired feet don’t want to blow
Down that winding road.
If I can stay right here, my friend,
These seeds I will have sowed.
I’ll tell you simply how I am
You tell me what you’ve . . .

I said
The wrong thing today.
Let me explain:
I went shopping
With my friends.
All the ladies we were,
All at the mall.
They tried on clothes.
They bought all kinds of clothes.
I've . . .

They light up our lives
There's no harm in their charge
They bring forth the juice
The come small, they come large
You find them all here
You order, they ship
"I'm in charge," they . . .

Do you remember when you used to hold my hand?
We walkied barefoot leaving trails in the sand.
Do you remember when we warmed our hearts by the fire?
We cuddled and sighed deeply as we loved.
Do you . . .

My resident critic is beside me to say,
My time on Gather, she thinks, is play.
She barks commands, "Mom, rise from your chair!"
The back yard, the outdoors, she'd rather be there.
She . . .

Corn on the cob is tasty
It goes well with a rib eye steak
A salad on the side
I sit down with pride
But the phone rings and takes the cake

Dancing waves of heat
Scorch the mirrors of my eyes
Curiosity
Wonderment of the next stop
I see palm trees and oceans.

Fire in the rainbow
Froth in the wave
Never flyeth the robin
Never sayeth the knave
Darkness overcomes all
Seizes heart and soul
It can't be forgiven
It's become a toll
Love in the sand box
Sand . . .

I don't recall
You never said
You let the words
Roll off your head
You wanted more
There's none to give
Let time be still
Let elders live
We feel the pain
We set the bar
We see the print
We seal . . .

Creaking bones reach for the below,
Toward cold and weathered ground.
Flaky, dry winds
Massage the aches in the shadows.
Furrows blend with the darkened.
Misty eyes see all and nothing.
Musty smells drip. . . .

Mama your day now draws near
Your escape route looks so clear
It's right next to the pies
I hear your deep sighs as
You wind your way to the beer
