Driving the Shadows

New and short poem on the road of evening shadows.

SHADOWS OF THE ROAD

Longleaf pines conspire
to strike the road
with slatted shadows
An off kilter picket fence
pointing to the setting sun.

HAND HELD GOD and REFUND

The demand of poetry is that it keeps on coming.  Two more -- one for the technology minded and one head scratcher.

Two new poems: Beauty Substitutes and Dark Odyssey.

A new shipment of poetry.  Asking life's questions--are you mad or bald and who is the future madman.  Enjoy.

False Dilemma     

The gods said
examine your head
you can either keep your hair
or your sanity
I kept my hair

Future Madman

Your morning visit
with news and coffee
Past and Present
Three of you
here and now
but always
distractions
shadows at the door
It's Future -- eternal party crasher
“Wait, I’ll be with you in a second.”
“Not a chance,” snickers Future
running down the street
like a Halloween prankster
laughing like mad.
