sound of wings flapping
butterfly on window pane

Traveler
Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!
Traveler Tim

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again
You, the vaccinated

seem to me

to be
just as neurotically fearful
of that chest-cold/flu thingee
as you were BEFORE your jab.

This inspires confidence

neither in your logic

nor in your vaccine.

You are supposed to be protected

by your magic jab.

I have come to believe

that COVID occupies that place
in your neurotic soul
where GOD is supposed to dwell.
So you do you.
but stop being neurotically fearful.

What's your problem . . .
are you unprepared to die?

Seek God and live.

Steve
From sixteen to sixty
And all the days in between
From a lassie then a lady
To the woman in my dream
From sketch book to painting
From wondering and waiting
To building and creating
With fireworks and gold plating
From all that you mean
To being my queen
From nowhere to forever
And all the days in between.
Later this year my wife turns 60! I've written this with that in mind.
