And awakened they
Did past lovers
Of mine like
Hatchlings on some
Far off branch
Chirping and cackling
Their good mornings
It made my
Heart sing like
A harpsichord playing
A light minuet
As I sipped
The champagne of
This glorious morn

GoodMorning (for Bean)
It came then
Something warm and
Bright something from
The East a
Surprise while hoped
For the sunrise
Of your words
To me crackling
Like eggs frying
Like gleeful children
Waving at parents
Two simply simple
Words good morning
OneDayIwill
One day I
Will meet a
Guy that rather
Than tires of
My poetry sings
It’s praises to
Me until then
I’ll hum these
Words to myself
BaseballLove
And once again
It’s my turn
I’ve been up
To bat before
Either stepped out
Of the box
Swung and missed
Or got beaned
Today I grab
My bat confidently
Knowing that inside
Me is a
Home run if
Only I could
Meet a baseball
That understands me
FailureStones
In life it
Is not our
Successes that matter
What matters however
Are our failures
Enjoy as many
As you can
Failures are like
Slippery mossy stones
On which you
Step to cross
A creek you
Need them to
Get from here
To over there
But there’s always
The danger of
Slipping getting wet
Failures are the
Funny memories that
We laugh about
While basking in
The warmth of
Our brief successes
