Jemper's garden
Drowned
This year.
"How can rain drown a garden?"
Jemper wailed.
"Rain is supposed to make things
Grow."
Yet, there Jemper stood,
Water standing too.
Jemper chewed her lip,
Then,
Took a photo and wrote,
"Jemper's Water Garden".
Then entered it in a photo contest.
She won an honorable mention.
 
**************************************************
 
Jesus,
Let me sleep
On your big toe.
The rest of them
Can have their crowns.
The only crown I ask
Is to touch Your big toe
At
Last
And snuggle next to You
For eternity.
 
***************************************************
 
My
Cat
And I
Are really simply creatures.
All it takes to entertain us
Is a ball of yarn
And an old newspaper.
I "hide" the yarn
Then lay down and pull.
She
Dives
And slaps the paper
Grating it with her paws--
Making tremendous
Crashing
Sounds, thereby making use
Of news that many folk wish
Would go away.
 
*******************************************************
 
Beloved neighboring cellmate
Paul,
Read me again what you wrote--
No, not that, the other.
Yes.
Stop.
Tell me, Brother Paul,
Do you really
Truly
Believe that it's entirely
Okay
For Christians to behave that way,
So long as the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached?
Really?
Well, you are older and more learned
Than I, but,
Methinks that your writing shows
You won't be too awfully gosh-darned
Sorry
When it comes your turn to go!

(Welcome from Ritagail in Oklahoma)
 
I write.
I draw.
I make things.
Sometimes,
What I do is
Okay.
Mostly,
It's practice called
"Working my talents".
(Bleah)
I write
Poe
try
Unequal to Mr. Poe.
But then, I don't have the benefit
Of his mind altering drugs,
I only have
Mind
Altering
Freakin' LIfe Experiences
That would make Mr. Poe cringe.
 
 
************************************************************
 
Broken branches
Here, there,
O my--
Everywhere.
Clean up from one
More
Blasted Oklahoma storm.
The path in the woods
Is lined with branches and leaves,
As if welcoming
The Queen of Storms,
Beseeching her to leave.
And then I see
A dragonfly
Eating moths in mid-air.
Gross, fascinating,
A ballet of mini-meat eating
Reality.
And, I,
To balance storm and reality,
Pick up a squirming earthworm
From the hard asphalt,
Freeing it into the grass.
May the next storm
Pass.

next posts?

I guess if I change it all in the beginning, then it changes it.  Well, better than nothing.  Oh the joys of writing/illustrating without the benefit of big bucks for Wondrous Equipment!  It changes the font size, but not the color?  Ok, so, I guess I can retype what I have here in a different color, rather than having to mail them from a color-friendly e-mail.  So....now that I've got one on there, how do I get more posts, how are they managed when I send more?
