Simple is as simple does
COVER me quickly,
AUDIT my speech, you
ENDOW me with blessings, sweet bird, through your
TWEETs.
Grant Me Something Real
ENDOW skill, senses, for living anew, I plead.
TWEETs, hyper ephemeral form, form of
COVER-in everything the meaning’s veiled,
AUDIT can only document traces of what has vanished.
Forest Audit
AUDIT the forest from
TWEET to rustle, mossy floor to leafy
COVER, and hear the steady choruses
ENDOWed with honor and glory.

‘Doughnut’ preferred
Does it
RECUR to you – or even occur to you – that I’m acting
SHYLY because while you eat your
DONUT – your sometimes spelt ‘doughnut’ – you
GNASH your teeth. How is that even possible?
Hidden Door
DONUTs in the parking lot late one winter night,
GNASHes of stress fall away, dissolved in moment’s joy,
RECURrence is rare, this hidden door to another self.
SHYLY wonder: do others have, not door, but thoroughfare?

Two attempts, both pathetic
I’m finding it hard to write a poem GAILY;
the words all seem pathetic and TRITE,
the opposite of being in the bounteous spaces of a HAREM,
more like trying the thickest dough to KNEAD.
Gamboling
HAREM of new lambs
GAILY gambols over pasture
TRITE though it be, their cuteness
KNEADs youth into stiff joy muscles.
