LittleBean

Oh little Bean

Do you read

Me or have

You forgotten me

You live out

There like the

Early sunset of

Autumn too soon

You pop up

Like past due

Notices but where

Do I pay

Text me please

Elipse (to Roed)

And once again

What I thought

Was progress was

Simply an editor’s

Error the word

You hung on

Me until I

Turned the page

Then you disappeared

Into an elipse

Like oh so

Many many others

HappyBirthday (to You)

I used to

Send flowers to

My mother on

My birthday thanking

Her for giving

Me this precious

Gift called life

Since she’s been

Gone I now

Do just this

On my special

Day I want

To wish you

All a very

Happy Birthday on

Your special day

Whenever that is

HappyBirthdayMuenster (to Rick)

We met at

College when young

I remember smiles

And happy eyes

Teasing and hugs

We shared often

You listening to

My typing late

Into the night

You reading poetry

In the morning

Over forty years

We remain what

Many do envy

The best friends

Happy Birthday Muenster

KissLanding (for Gavin)

Like almost and

Sort of and

Mostly like all

My others our

First kiss mislanded

Like a parachutist

Flying into trees

My lips fell

Off target half

Lips half cheek

Embarrassed asking for

Another I climbed

Into my plane

Of nerves and

Jumped again this

Time landing squarely

On those full

Succulent soft lips
