4 Short Poems

Authentic: 

A twangy guitar like volcano
Flowers.

A sparse harmonica
Like a ghost in the afternoon curtains.


Walking:

How a star
Invented a pulley system

In the arches between
Dreams

In addition to paradoxes
And doorknobs


The Moon:

Slapstick plate
Over the shed roof

And the reason your bicycle
Has a flat tire


Your Shoes:

UFOs in yachts
Even the sidewalks
Curve with spacetime

  1. These are so playful and wild – a Saturday treat, “Volcano flowers,”……what more could a lover ask for? I’m kind of speechless about the other ones, just kind of blown away by the seemingly disconnected things and yet you connect them like “How a star Invented a pulley system In the arches between
    Dreams.” Damn great Bob. Great job.

      1. We got a nice rock and roll anthem to a rainy day, that Hendrix tune Rainy Day Dream Away. Love that cough that kicks off the song…happens to everyone after too big of a bong hit.

  2. Short and punchy, a delightful collection. My favorite is the last one. When I go for a walk, I’m going to have to check on my shoes more often. See if they try to steer me other directions. Maybe to a wormhole?

  3. Always a pleasure reading your stuff.

    To my fellow bloggers:

    Sorry for my blogging inactivity these past months.  A lot on our plate during this big move from Spring Valley to Oceanside, CA.  Now to see who’s still out there.

    Have a wonderful day!
