1.
palmetto fan
stirs tropical breeze over faces
leafy cool delights
2.
a defiant cat
within striking distance of my thoughts
refuses to turn her cheek
3.
blue range of mountains
silently pledges to stand on their feet
forever and forever
4.
you can live with us
but if you get bored that is
your own burden
5.
thoughts flourish
turning a mind into a jungle
the thinker gets lost
6.
near and dear
the children are close to Heaven,
until they find hell
7.
a vow of secrecy
the most powerful bondage
enslaves and redeems
8.
a cat in my face
no matter how hard I gaze
it remains a cat
9.
boyfriend asks girl
did you kiss him last night
o... yes, but I don't like it
10.
a certifiable mind
tries to wiretap its own impulses
self shrinking
11.
on a very crowded bus
a carefully dressed lady looks around
niches into a window seat
12.
parties come and go
the interests of Nation alone stand
dictates to a president
13.
"Lady Chatterly's Lover"
lies steamy in the hot sun
wears jacket
14.
a tight smile
stretches with effort to express
a deep reluctance
15.
unsettled self conscience
munches away at her aging girlishness
delights an onlooker
16.
old wooden planks
broken and rotten with age
a cat walks them
17.
wifedom and motherhood
one more function to the female trinity
breadwinner
18.
modern drama
is delivered in A Doll House
audiences watching
19.
the poet cries
when he comes up with the following
a line drops dead
20.
sipping black coffee
his thoughts get darker and stronger
he adds milk and sugar
21.
a happy housewife
cooks meals and English haiku
without seaweed
22.
his writings
smelling of strong tobacco
cough out of pages
23.
window
closes out wind and rain
closes in sunshine
