The sun remained afraid to come out
my son tossing stones its way to clock
a raven...

Gaza, From Far Away

Gaza, From Far Away

Waiting for the smoke to lift
I walked through a field
of heavy yellow grass
for days
after October 7th
listening, as if I were a god,
to the cry under my boots
dropping, stomping, killing
every blade under foot

More money out than money in
for this my tongue yearns for gin.
Oh! So little here to...

Apple TV For The Elderly

Recipe For Any Season

Recipe For Any Season

Under a starry night
past the corner mailbox
furred by fresh snow
under any bell or bough
to a warm kitchen we go
drawn by butter on hot
biscuits melting oh so slow
add then equal amounts

Oh. Really. Thank you. I don't think this contest is for me though. I started out joining about six months ago. My first two poems were one of five honorable mentions. Then nothing. I'm not a good fit for Poetry.com.

Thank you so much for the vote and appreciation. It is obviously got a humorous bite to it. Usually the poems on Poetry.com are less humorous. It's got to be revised a bit, tighten up but I like it as well. And like I said, it's "not autobiographical".
