You can e-Mail the poet at: BlueForks@aol.com		riding the range of a long and lonesome night -- cowboy moon     in balanced colors nature dresses for the day, seasonally chic     flea market find: the scribbling of a child or a Picasso     a horse fly inside the whisky bottle it doesn't drink much     the old dog looking for kindness gets a kick     in greedy fists the watermelon heart my favorite     half asleep, I see the face of my dead father in morning mirror     a stern look was all that she needed -- Mrs. Grimly's class     the strains of Haydn coming from the next cell -- Surprise Symphony     from ditch to ditch the mother and her babies -- highway traffic slows     told of the oil beneath his feet, a farmer curses his land     the cool night -- making my sunburn feel better     walking away lighter but with heavy steps -- the dice game     buying a ticket to view priceless artifacts: Neanderthal trash     just enough rain to make the windshield wipers chatter     wandering around the city's forgotten parts lost in enjoyment     remembering when we washed them in a river -- at the Laundromat     This webpage is Copyright © 2001 by Denis M.
