If you want to avoid people being angry about you
Say nothing.
Do nothing.
Be nothing.

Metapoem
I poured out my heart
In a poem for you.
I worked on it for hours.

It was dreadful,
Plumbing depths of suck
Hitherto unimagined.

But if I said the taste
of Diet Doctor Pepper
Made me weep for you,
I had my reasons.

A poem of mine in response to one @davidatkinsonpoet.bsky.social posted. #poetry #humor

All the things we know
Are a drop in one ocean
Out of more oceans
Than we can possibly know
Proud little monkeys

compound haiku? #poetry

They say two snowflakes just alike
Have never been, can never fall
I wonder if that saying’s right.
Has someone gone and checked them all?
With all the storms that ever were
I wouldn’t think a person could
But since they sound so very sure
I’m sure their evidence is good.

Does the soaring hawk
Envy our freedom to shun
The winds he must ride?

#poetry #haiku

So the story ends
Neither with bang nor whimper
But with a question

#poetry #haiku

Midnight cold, still air
Far, the tires' whir fades away
Emptiness complete

On six, Denise is too hot
On two, Frank is too cold
And the lights have been on
In Conference Room Three
Since last Thursday.

Stupid bloody snow
Screaming drunken snowmobile
Look! He hit a tree!
