silent forest.
wind chimes hang stiffly,
as leaves sway

An old man got caught up by a parade.
Street after street, he was barred by blockade.
But he didn't lose poise
'til walking plush toys
convinced him LSD was being covertly sprayed.

seem no less solid

Gaucho Limerick

There once was an Argentine gaucho
who loved to lie around on the couch. Oh!
When his wife would protest
it would disturb his rest.
"I'm goin'! Jeez, stop bein' such a grouch - Ho!"

Weightless Birds [Free Verse]

tweets & cheeps

i hear them all:
dainty expressions 
of tiny birds

i hear them amid
the neck-stretched caws
of jungle crows
& amid
the circling 
screech hawks

weightless birds:
flitting & jumping, 

flitting with wings
blurred to invisibility 
&
jumping:
bounce - bounce - bounce

between boulders
grows a sinewy tree --
robust by ordeals

Stand [Free Verse]

Feet feeling rock,
until one loses
the ability to tell
where the sole ends
and the mountain begins.

If one were rooted
like a gnarly cedar,
it would feel no different.

When there is nothing but mind, 
there is no longer anything 
to differentiate...

There once was a Marquis named de Sade
whose philosophy many found odd:
The pursuit of pleasure,
by any measure,
is to spoil by not sparing the rod!
