Watch it.

Don’t call ME silver-haired; I’m MORALLY GRAY, Baby.

“Demurring Haiku”

Demurring under
timeless, freezing, reeling stars
is this nascent spring.

Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

Life is … good?

It’s a nascent spring with balmy air.  I love my little Southern city and my kind neighbors.  My friends are the best.

I’ve lost some of that pot belly.  I recovered from coronavirus.  There are beautiful, amazing people in my life who enchant me and inspire me and make me laugh.  I’m getting nice compliments about my writing from strangers, and I’m excited about some new goals there.

Am I in danger of becoming happy?



Holy socks, Batman!

Or … holey socks. Time to buy more.

I have no idea why I do a number on socks the way I do. Must be my cloven hooves.

Update — a pal of mine on Facebook jumped in to suggest that I have “clown hooves,” and I think that’s an inspired rejoinder.



“Haiku for a Coy-Eyed Girl”

Feign innocence, you
sly, lascivious dove, you
feral butterfly.

Can’t sleep.

So I washed my comforter and submitted four poems to The Irish Times. It’s a long shot, but hey.

The poems, I mean — not washing the comforter. That I can usually pull off.



Silkscreen prints from Steve Miller!

These are original silkscreen prints from  Steve Miller — not of musical fame, but of Mary Washington College fame.  They were given to me by the artist many years ago.

Found ’em in storage.  Got ’em up in the Batcave immediately.

I got those photos I ordered.

Here’s the interesting thing … the postal service’s new postmark design looks remarkably like the footprint of a very large man.

Hey, the sticker on the front says “Do not bend” — not “Do not stomp on.”

Spillwords Press features “The Rough, Violet Stone”

I am so honored today to share that Spillwords Press published a recent poem of mine — “The Rough, Violet Stone.”  You can find it right here.

Thanks once again to Director of Development Dagmara K. for allowing me to see my work showcased by such an exceptional online magazine!



“Tonight, Love, Now, Let’s Go”

Let’s make for Maine
tonight, Love, now, let’s go, let’s just go
north for that ménage à trois —
where water licks us,
where salt air kisses us,
where waves draw warm arms over us,
where rhythmic tide will move, move, move us,
just we intimate three —
you, me and the sea.
