Windshield weeps, glistening melt in morn’s warm sun.
Defiant Chronos unwinds season’s grip, serving summons.
Zephyros blusters, disturbing palette so fine.
Shaking flecks flutter, lighting, . . .

The tilt-o-whirl spins on its’ skeleton,
Irregularly tracing the previous round
Until a worn swath spins defined:
The boundaries of this playground mind
Ferrous cartilage snaps and pops; . . .

For my dear wife, Barbara, written August 20, 2007, on the shores of Shamrock Lake, just outside of Yosemite National Park.
I feel her coming, spirit floods my heart
For she unsealed that hatch, . . .

Pre-dawn, eyes hazy and blunt.
Sojourn to shower, familiar fount.
Bowing to spigot, library of liquid love,
of hot-off-the-press caress and solution-borne soliloquy.
I hike the heat by vanquishing . . .

My precious treasure looted, oh
A heaping mound of pleasure full
Reduced to crime scene, what psycho
Would just as soon rob skin from skull
The crispness of your day-glo hue
Irregularity . . .

My first creative effort in almost 25 years, so Poetically Incorrect seems like the right place for me! I'm obviously no master, but am open to constructive criticism and reaction. Thanks . . .

For Jan Hersh, who I admire and respect as both artist and friend.
Irridescent M&Ms, red, all in a row
singing songs of roses, not the pink ones or yellow
but red as wine, intoxicating, . . .

Submitted for Tuesday's Writing Essentials. Sorry so late, I didn't see the prompt until about 2 hours ago!
Dappled light, here dim, there bright,
draws a topography before my eyes;

This pasture invites fatigue
Stilled brush and grey grit crackle
Scratching out spring flowers
Dead bits of petal fleck the dust
Recalling a cradle less barren
Rippling waves . . .

Honor and courage shine
While deep down unspoken truth . . .

Summer is over and school is upon us
Colleagues for nine months a year are so happy
Laughing, relating vacation lies: honest!
Comfort in knowing that things aren’t more crappy
Set up . . .

Learning so much in my backyard,
Reading, writing, sunning, napping.
Prying beaded skin from flypaper,
iPod hip-hopping toward gunite shoal
Instant burn beats up my soles.
Eyesight . . .

Suspect
Inky cutouts
Seeping into my house
Grim deeds stain behind blotted lights
Trembling, I count the days of my lifetime
As key turns lock, my heart is stopped . . .

Standing on the parquet in Boston
Trying to find a section that's . . .

This was inspired by something Cormac McCarthy wrote.
Hanging amid space and time,
unobtrusive, quiet, a common star.
Motionless, still, cold shell to see,
yet burning inside, gushing granite . . .
