Book on the bed
Resting on a quilt
That knows
Its days are numbered
Just not
Mischievous
Enough
Reader thumbing
From page to page
Trying to remember
What might have been
Recently read
The boredom
Of early Fall
Pushing a hand
To write...

Love requires
A leap of faith
Or jumping
Out of the way
Of thrown objects
Love is tricky
Believe it or not, there's a term for fear of poetry... Metrophobia.
I personally believe it starts in school the first time you're required to read your own poem out loud to the rest of the class.

Gonna miss your lunacy
when you are gone
along with the spicy insanity
you blast out daily
I know it's wrong
to so love such a moron
Does this make me one too?
I guess tis true
that knuckleheads do indeed
love company

Time is ticking down
These hands are all illusion
A clock is standing by
While moments lead to ruin
My emotions speeding up
Each dream, like anything
I contemplate could do it
For all victories come last
When I'm feeling frightened
(I cling to hold, just as fast
Hoping only my grip tightens)
“And now, good people, pay attention all.
See how Dame Fortune quickly changes side
And robs her enemy of hope and pride!”
-Geoffrey Chaucer (1342-1400)

coyote trundling
through the pasture sniffs the air
catches me watching
drops quickly to his belly
and wriggles under the wire
