President Banned

President Bans Hydrangeas

In the days before market open

Sign reads: no concealed weapon

contrite citizens show blowgun?

In the times of great freedom

Bleeding bouquet of reason

man/woman cross dress Eden?

Sensitive flower requires shade

Rollers grant body not remade

 God planted seeds as unafraid.

A man extinguishes cultivars

Sour dictators poison livers

in tainted tweeted vodka wars.

Ban the President

Condemned Bridge Poem

Condemn Bridge 

Murder feral cats, 

drop them overboard

return to haunt. 

Thousand Sierra

Mountain prisoners,

burned feet hike

back home to taunt.

Ripe Persimmon

Marie lays beds,

not potato chips

twelve years of want.

Gauze Tahara

Magic endings,

not fairy tales

death after baptismal font.

Oh my

Heat Crashes Planes Poem

Heat crashes planes

happiness memory

Sister's wedding in backyard

nuptial, all present responsible.

Fog hides wrinkles

happiness memory

Son rides Christmas bike

down the road no trike.

Wind steals petals

happiness memory

Swim team relay win

vomit from the exertion.

 Storm fells trees

happiness memory

She poops on toilet

grainy no diaper smile.

Heat crashes planes

survive
