Moonstruck and Pure As the Driven Snow to Boot


What’s that you say poet waxing poetic 
Your writing’s crystal clear? 
But how clear is that now tell me oh 

Too late I fear I’m drifting off 
Will it help clear things up a bit 
If I stick this shovel in your ear?

Right As Rain till Kingdom Come and Still No Sign of Wear and Tear


Isn’t it terrible about metaphors? 
Folks have been trying 
To pin them down for ages 
And they’re still tearing about, 
Catching clichés in red weather.

At a Loss for Words

–for Eleni, again 

With all my words found wanting 
My love, my muse, what must I do 

To find the one just right for you— 
Wear it on my sleeve?

All That Glitter Is Not Gold (The Great Pretender)


Poet who fancies 

He has the Midas touch, 
Easy on that gilded dressing— 

You want your head stuffed 
And spinning, grinning on 

A silver platter?
