On a broken chair,/
propped up by rotting woodchips,/
I watch Fall’s death dance.

Waiting For The Face Plant: Romantic Blogging Free Verse Poem
You know that moment
when you trip
and begin to fall
and know you’re going
to crash and burn,
but haven’t hit yet?
The moment between
“Oh, crap!”
and “OUCH!”?
Asking someone out
on a date
via email
or instant message
or text,
and then hearing
only silence
is like that:
The moment
just before
the face plant.
Slipping While Climbing: Romantic Blogging Sonnet
He tried to climb/
to her lofty peak.
Companionship sublime/
was what he’d seek.
He lost the right path/
along that high way.
Trying to create laughs;
he failed in what to say.
As he fell and slipped/
down the mountain side,/
he murmured to himself, tight lipped:
“That wasn’t how I should have tried.”
He wondered: Could he try again, change and repent/
now that he was sure where the correct path went?
We Don’t Criticize Falling: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku
When we guide our kids/

Albion Alpine Autumn: Revolutionary Email Sonnet
Like a woman reading
In her soft, quilted bed,
With warm, golden lamp light
Glowing ’round her head,
So do fall’s fading flowers
Of Albion’s alpine meadows shine
As they show off late beauty
At sunset, one last time.
For soon a warm blanket,
Soft, deep and white,
Will form a safe coverlet
And protect them both at night.
Then, the brightness of morning and spring
Will amaze the eyes with the beauty waking brings.
