Getting Bi - A Poem
Maybe I got -- hots for thots Or got some -- thoughts on knots Maybe I am queer in the rear Or I just have too much to fear. Maybe the truth doesn't lie somewhere in the middle Maybe the truth lies -- to complexity, defies my identity Labels...

Talkin, but words aint formin stutterin over a breath that aint comin. Take a seat, mouth dry feeling like I woke up just after I died. Pause, wait a minute things are going real good, Yeah! I can feel it, somethin tellin me, I'm in a much...
Sunrise
Another bus-stop rhyme-doodle. hadn't been sleeping very well when i wrote it. still not, really. i lay w'in the darkness, trying in vain to sleep as tiredness makes me weep, and aches upon me press.
Happy,.... neglect,...love!

Red the Rose (Poem)
This is one of the first rhyming poems i have written in years, so its good to be back in that rhythm, i always liked rhymes, even though many say it is passe. this is for a friend of mine, a dragon.
Hue and Cry
Interestingly, this poem follows the shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme, but uses dactylic trimeter with masculine rhymes for the quatrains. the couplet is the traditional iambic pentameter.
There Was Once
This poem has a simpler rhyme scheme and structure, but the quatrains are varied. the first two lines are in anapestic tetrameter, the third line is in dactylic tetrameter, and the fourth line is in dactylic trimeter with a masculine rhyme.

Love Poem
Yes, a rose is red, but also is white and pink, a violet comes in many colors as well, and to rhyme upon flaws is a flaw indeed. alas, i will rhyme upon certainties, for my love for you is certain indeed.
Natural Habitat Interviews 3: Sheila
James lipton: before we move on, you've just opened the door to talk about a subject that has always been fascinating to me - cockney rhyming slang. i'm guessing "friar tuck" is to rhyme with "luck"? sheila: spot on.
Ballad of the Otter War
Some of the rhymes feel forced, but the structure calls for fourteen of the same rhyme, so i had to use a simple word to maximize my options. nonetheless, i'm glad i made something of a complete narrative here.
