Dark Edge of Poetry

Poetry

Shadow drawn in ink and dreams

  • Saturday Night Beaver

    Out for a night, Out on the lash, Had a quick shave, Plenty of cash,

  • A Warning to Water

    My glass brim full, An H²O-free zone. I thought up that name— All on my own.

  • Jonny B Good

  • The Feast of Children

    The feast is tonight, yearly delight, Our family gathers around the fire, Young and the old; both weak and the bold,

  • Holiday

    We went for drive, In our new car, It’s not very fast,

  • My Rediscovered Treasure

    We chose a quiet evening sail, Out to sea, along the shore, Hired a small two-seat skiff,

  • The Dryad and The Tree

    Harken! Black heart of the forest am I, Gentle Gaia as if violated by shoots, Branches like the wings of a vulture,

  • Crazy, Crazy, Crazy, Wedding Nights

    Men get creative on wedding nights, Lest the bride be disappointed, Some buy costly enhancement creams,
