Compare The Cold Sunrise And Be Grateful: Revolutionary Blogging Sonnet

SoCal Palm tree sunset -- warm sea breeze at San Clemente BeachShe would send me photos/
of tall SoCal tropical trees/
silhouetted in the red sunset;/
dancing in the warm sea breeze.

As if to entice me/
to visit and to stay./
To warm my feet in the sand/
and watch the palm trees sway.

I returned the photo favor/
of a frigid, streaming sunrise:/
A frosted cottonwood silhouetted/
against cold blue mountain skies.

T’was not to tempt her, nor to say I was coldly sad,/
but to remind her to be grateful for the warm beauty she had.
Cold Sanpete County frosted cottonwood sunrise

Emotional Candy Store Dreaming Reality: Revolutionary ImproVerse Free Verse Poem

BYU Museum of Paleontology - BYU Night at the Museums emotional man Who gets emotional/
about getting let into/
the back workroom/
research center/
of a world-class/
paleontology museum?/

Every middle-aged man/
who was once a little boy/
making stegosauruses/
out of modeling clay,/
pinching the green or red putty/
to form its back plates,/
rolling finely-pointed tail spikes/
between his fingers.
