they lost

mountain:
impossible
distributions of snow
reaching down to touch the dark trees...
not spring

Wringing
hands like dishcloths.
As if you could squeeze out
anxiety; rinse it all down
the drain.

Starting,

there's an optimism,
and the future feels full of plans...
but then
- a cinquain.

Shadow
smeared in the dust.
A moment of relief
from this horrid, horizonless
sunlight.

these aliens
returned to their spaceship,
fired up the rockets, gave a wave,
and left.

Caveat: Poem #3110 "Map of monotony"

long drive
rest areas
stores and their parking lots
fast food places with their drive-thrus
same same
- a cinquain.

my failing dreams
i lurked hidden and dead
a ghost trapped in some twist of time

The lone
cow in the pen,
kneeling in her own muck,
staring, friendless among scratching
chickens.

this intrusion
into your peaceful thoughts?
An unexpected, unwelcome

Full moon
just now rising;
the color of an egg.
Soon to reveal our secrets in
pale light.

I've found
that what I like
and what is popular
are completely different: Oil and
water.
What is
acceptable
by society? - I
rather go with integrity,
and love.
