I want to take you/
in my ragtop to the beach,/
back into love’s reach.
OR
… away from love’s reach.

Who To Cut From Your Roster: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Poem
Since your parents,
children,
siblings,
grandchildren
are family,
you can’t lose them,
so it’s logical
to dump me.
I thought that I
was more support than that
but you sleep with your dog,
and can’t kick a cat.
So without a doubt,
I’m the one that should be left out.
And so again,
I am.
Morning Illuminates Farewell: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku
Sleep well and if it’s/

Everything I Do I’m Certain: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku And Limerick
Each weird thing I do,/
ev’ry strange event, I’m sure/
you’ll always like them.
PLUS
I can’t help but think about you
with almost every weird thing I do.
You may pretend not to care
or even want to be there,
but I dig how your enthusiasm’s true.
A Gift Of Smiles: Revolutionary IMprov Limerick
No matter how sucky your day is/
there’s always the potential for this:/
that I will pop by and do/

or at least give you laughter’s sweet bliss.
[Happy Birthday to the big E/
with her own limerick poetry!]

a warm bed mate to snuggle,
when you have a dog?
What Is Life’s Destination: Romantic IMprov Sonnet
It doesn’t matter where the trail goes,
the kind of views we see.
Travel’s about life’s ebb and flow;
the connection of you and me.
The activities we could daily face
would pale in significance,
and become secondary in their place
to what we do in our own love’s dance.
Others may travel far and wide
to create their new experience.
But we, firmly at each other’s side,
daily grab and relish that chance.
For our souls have learned that these facts are true:
I’m your touchstone, and my destination is you.
Where The Self-Righteous Live: Revolutionary Improv Limerick Lament
Late Monday evening I parked at a bakery that was closing. With 3 cars in a parking lot designed for 100, I avoided the handicapped zone, but — parking quickly — did not pay attention to the parking “lines”. When I came out to my car, this note was on my windshield:
Learn how to park dumb ass.
Really?
There’s lines for a reason.
Love ya.”
So I wrote this (because it does seem that criticism and self-righteous, indignant behavior happens more often here than any place else I’ve lived. See? Even I’m guilty of being judgemental!
Why does it happen in Utah,
(at least as far as I saw),
where everyone’s supposed to love,
and be inspired by God above,
they judge and critize ev’ry tiny flaw?
