Gossip
Round and round it goes;
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Rampant, vile, vicious lies,
Roll around tongues, pretentious in guise.

There is laughter in the air.
The tulips are dancing with daffodils,
as I watch birds fly here and there.
My cats are sunning in the windowsills.
The bees buzz around new growth,
and that bluejay . . . more

humming and swaying
up the Eastern Seaboard,

(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be

This is the deepest of all partings,
Foreshadowing reunions and re-partings:
The first breath,
The found thumb,
The day you walked,
and walked away,
I saw . . . more

Alone in the night,
Away from those who right now doze,
Now it is finally alright
To ponder poetry or prose;
Now, I am allowed to think,
To spend a little time on me;
I've no sleepy eyes, not e'en . . . more

I want to talk
I want to speak
Will you listen?
Will you hear?
Or will you be like
all

others

To enter the space of your aura.
And if you grant it to me,
I will raise my mouth to
Sweetly kiss your cheeks
As one would greet an old . . . more

I watch her from the bathroom window, . . . more

A mirror image for all to see
One is perfect, no thoughts or fears
The other is used to shedding tears
One has never had heartache or pain
The other waits for hurt to gain. . . . more
