Don't Mind If I MayPoWriMo!

Poem For Kim & Trevor

My fortune is in my family;
I have a treasure chest
full of aunts and cousins;
it's called Texas.

Aunt Kim and Trevor,
you are an army of fun,
you are my circus
and my afternoon trip
to the beach.

You are always around
up here, even when
you're down there.

The Youngest Iguana

The youngest iguana
is sitting on a rock
in the sun today; today
he’ll sit in the sun
slowly turning into a rock,
and this rock will make
one more turn
around the sun today.

We’re all sitting
on this rock today
made all out of iguanas,
and we are the youngest
iguanas of all;
our skin does not yet
look like rock at all.
The sun shines patronly.

MayPoWriMo in action!

Monitoring My Arctic Heart

Your consequences -- you are
consequential; you are sequential
and diligent, my Arctic heart.

You are way up there;
when you tilt toward the sun
you melt, and as you move
away you freeze again.

I'll make sure to collect
your data; it means
something, my Arctic heart.

May is National Poetry Month!

Geek With Me

Geek with me;
whether you'd like
to just geek out
or actually be a geek
is up to you, both
are acceptable here.

Sometimes I geek out
and am a geek
at the same time;
it's a good way to find out
who your real friends are.

Good Night April

Good night, April;
National Poetry Month

Good Your Morning, Good Morning Mine

Take a look around: good
abounds this morning. No
street hassle can't be
unknotted by sleep.

Everyone's forgotten
except for the principal players
and me.

Good morning where am I,

we gonna do what're we
gonna do what're we
gonna do? I hope it's fun!
