Six Short Poems in November

1.) Perhaps, 

he does live here,

this one called god,

this place called here,

as good as any other.

 **********

2.) Zoo Animals 

After darkness descends,

zoo animals roam

behind our eyelids,

closed and fluttering,

grazing on our dreams.

 **********

3.) On a breeze, 

Leaves

      stumbling

            across

                  my yard.

 **********

4.) Insomnia 

Sleep won’t come

nor the words repeated

to put into rhyme

and lull me to sleep.

 **********

5). Lay vs. Lie

- a love poem – 

Lay your body down

     and, lying there,

          remember falling

               in love.

 **********

6.) Card Shark 

The digital sound of cards shuffling and laid out

does not beat the feel of cards fluttering against your fingers,

a slight breeze stirring, and the tapping of cards back together,

the tap-tap of the deck against the table, nor the slap of cards dealt out,

thrown out from the deck, a quick deal around the table, nor the satisfaction

of cards strewn about in the frustration of losing, raining down across the room.
