New Poems (and sayings) for this week.

Poems

-------------------------------------------------

Dragons dream

of tender morsels

and salivate

undercovers

"Fie, fi,

fo ,fum."

They lick their lips,

hiss, and burn!

-------------------------------------------------

A woman smiles

as I enter the lift.

The car rises up

and I feel a tug.

-------------------------------------------------

The sky was filled

with invisible ladders (a vision poem)

-------------------------------------------------

"Shadow -

you go first!"

-------------------------------------------------

Try to construct

an orrery that shows

all the asteroids

that now are known!

-------------------------------------------------

"The snow is blue," said the child.

"Color it white," said the adult.

"But it's night," said the child,

"and it's winter and dark most of the time."

...

"Snow IS blue!" said the adult!

-------------------------------------------------

The spider studies

the lace curtain.

------------------------------------------------

no poem today

my muse is away

Sayings:

-------------------------------------------------

Actor: This is footage of me when I'm not in front of the camera.

Time and gravity are one way streets.

Box Office: "The movie isn't in 3D, but our theater is."

Rauschenberg's best work was his erasings.

Any one can make a song list, no one can make one better.
