What'd I Say: Poetics Of Conditional Reticence

 
If you asked me what I do all day 
As a poet, I’d more than likely come back 
With a “nothing much,” and go on my way, 
Smug with the knowledge I had 
At least something to say; 
On the other hand, if you don’t 
Ask me, I’ll never know what 
I’d say—so please do, it’ll go 
A long way towards making my day.

Notorious Sleight Of Hand

Devious one, 
Mind you and see 
You don’t 
 
Leave it at that, 
The wind’s 
An old hand 
 
At changing 
Its mind, 
Just like that.

Haiku: Fledgelings

Not a word misplaced 
On that once blank silent page
 
Murmuring sound sets.
