Girl in the Meadow

A poem from the multiverse — As I strolled through the countryside I noticed a girl relaxing in a nearby meadow She had beautiful wavy brown hair And milky white skin And simple plain clothes With a wide-brimmed straw hat She made the entire scene seem Like something surreal So I made my way over her…

Word!

A poem — Word on the street is that There’s a new word in town. Nobody’s heard the word, but Everybody’s heard about the word. Word of the word came about One day amidst the absurd And ludicrous movements Of the proverbial herd Well, that’s what we heard. And word says that the word Was…

Girl on the steps

An intergalactic love poem — There once was a girl who sat on the steps of my apartment building each and every day She never spoke to anyone as they passed by but just smiled politely Sometimes she would glance my way and our eyes would interlock Like two stars headed for an interstellar binary…

Laugh Out Loud

Poetry for the soul — When was the last time you You Laughed out loud With your head back And your belly bouncing with joy? When was the last time You smiled so big That nothing in the world Could wipe it away? When was the last time You felt so good That the whole wide world Was…
