		<description> April rain morning

sends bird to bush’s shelter-

window-cat chatter! 
 

 
 when children leave home

snowfall and midnight drift in

on quiet footsteps 
 

dust and afternoon

paint horses’ flanks with summer’s

heavy, August light

		<title>You know how I write a lot of booger and snot poems for kids?

		<description>My mother-in-law had a family dinner last night and I was enjoying a plate of lasagna.  I looked over at my thirteen year old nephew and saw him dig his finger up into his nose, pull out a huge booger then eat it.  It was really gross. 
 I guess that’s what I get for writing all those booger poems;) </description>

 morning 
   
 I lie motionless

along sleep’s edge

looking 

for one more dream

before the day 

smothers me </description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9185-it-is-cold</guid>
		<description> it is cold 
 it is cold

that we might be thankful

for warmth. 
 it is dark

that we might rejoice 

in the light. 
 there is hunger

that we might understand 

the blessing of food. 
 and loneliness

that we should seek love. 
 

and yet many will never 

be warm

or brightened

or nourished

or held close

in the dark. 
 what are their comparisons

to be? 
 is not the world a strange,

unfathomable place

to spend one's days?

		<description> broad street singers

                  (the winter of 1969, Philadelphia Naval Hospital) 
 they never heard us.

night after night

the city fathers     

(that raft of riff),

brothered our love

but wouldn’t keep us. 
 we was their expressway

for we had done wrong.

gone wrong.

too much reminding, 
 so they drove after us.

sure as time,

they caught us. 
 broke and hurt

as we were,

spirit-tough was our way.

they knew there was a fight.  ... more  </description>
