POEMS

The Moon
in the sky
A letter
in my hand

This rogue Doctor
had a cabinet of noses,
a drawer of ears,
and a bowl of eyes.
He'd build up monsters
out of clay parts
and oiled iron
and bolts and gears
and send them out
to roam the woods...

Children go play.

These aliens
have 3 ears
and stereos
out of this world!

_______________

I decided to create
the world's greatest
ultimate platform shoes

at first I placed
soles on the top
of the rungs of ladders

then redesigned it
added 2 rockets
on left food and right

SAYINGS

Jack Frost wanted to marry; but there was always a chill in his relationships.

The next line: I think, therefore I am, ... I think.

The sea is salty cause pepper floats. (Creation saying).

On art: Bad art - I look and I'm done. Great art - I look and look again.
