Blue sky
In flight
Red beak
Diving down
Into water
Exits with fish

Hell [Acrostic]
Purgatory [Micropoem]
There is no red hell
There is no bright heaven
There is lonesome purgatory
We are all there, already
On this basket-case world
And when it ends
There will be only dust

Stray Away [Haiku]
My words stray away
Pulling my heart through the muck
Rain shatters my will
[Link]
I Hope [Haiku]
The end has to be
To live without her shadow
Hope is the intent

The Celestial [Free Verse]
I must forego love
Or perish inside, but
I cannot renounce
What I feel for you
Oh, to hit a switch
And turn off my soul
To be able to be numb
To the glow of you
You’re a sphere of light
Not the sun
But a pulsing star
A beacon in the dark
I cannot stare into you
You are too bright
A celestial wonder
That burns my corona
Four-Letter Poem [Micropoem]
Plucked Duck [Haiku]
“But, you said we’d both. . .”
“Eh, I was plucking with you.”
“You’re despicable!”

Hurt [Acrostic]
Ink Rain [Micropoem]
Words rip through the dark
Tearing up the cold night
Injured paper scattered
On a torrid wind
Letters become ash
Ink rain descending
From an obliterated sky
Whatever answers
Fate wrote down for me
The gutter now hoards
