Some Poems

A sparkling gem for the clerisy

to examine, savor and applaud,

that poem is a tony triumph

destined for anthologies.

This one is scruffy and uncouth,

cracking wise in dive bars & juke joints,

laughing and farting without shame,

recited cheerfully by the young at art.

Another poem digs down deeply,

committed to the obscure and the gnomic,

intent on escaping interpretation,

its center a persistently hidden treasure.

One poem however will find just-right words

that will instantly impress and charm

conjuring images that open eyes and minds,

living eternally as it becomes each reader.
