Thank you for the inspiration, Steven. Or perhaps you wish to be humble and remain an anonymous donor?


If All The Fun's In How You Say A Thing

If All The Fun's In How You Say A Thing,
how ironic, that Steele's title seemed magnetic;
my polarity has reversed since I've discovered
empiric metric wisdom ain't phonetics.

...thank you, Curtis...

Un-tit-led

You've weaned from mom.
that's un-tit-led.
You should have been named Tom.
but you were 'untitled' instead.

Metaphor - A love poem for the 21st Century

He never met a phor he didn't like
She never met a phrast that didn't write.
If metaphor could only see the light,
the metaphrast might earn applause on nights of open-mic.

Ty, Robt...


Please,
Order
Everyone
Money.

(For Cantor)


Who Knows What I Could Have Done?

There was a Miss
who had to Pi-
ck some flowers.

She stepped in grass,
up to her a-
nkles deep.

She saw a bird,
stepped on a tur-
key feather,

It broke her heart,
she let a far-
mer take her home.

(for Newton2)


Please forgive my greed - I'm hosting an outdoor wedding for my niece, and the next few days I'll be wringing my hands over Hurricane Ivan as a potential guest. Then Monday I start federal jury duty. This was fun! These were lousy. Hope that was the point! I am floored by some of the humor the poets here exhibit. Fine entertainment.
