I am the only person in this café
Without a tattoo
my marks are all on paper.
October 2
The clouds were pink puffs
at sunset in a red lined horizon
at sunset in a red lined horizon
end of day driving home
petals falling down
happens
I need a boyfriend
October 6
I’m catatonic
With a cat on my lap, my
medicine is purrs
Oct 7
Silver disc in blue-black sky
a Basho moon makes
night shadows beneath the trees
October 8
A raygun filled with stars
shot me in the heart and I wept
a thousand moonbeams
shot me in the heart and I wept
a thousand moonbeams
October 9
A misty peace rolls in
with some clouds and the tidetwo lovers take a sunset selfie
October 11
The Foxy Lady
Latte stand sells sex in a
Double D tall cup
October 12
Though flatulent and
prone to snoring the beauty
loves her bulldog beast
October 14
I remember a summer
day with a dog and a man
swimming in a river
October 15
Writing is tough stuff
Practice leads to habit then to flow.
Words find their place in line.

Morning luxury
at the kitchen window
with
sunlight streaming in
October 17
Her tan lines fading,
Summer, hops a hayride and
blows a kiss to fall
October 18
It’s not poetry
or is it? The sound of the
rain in October
October 19
This is crap, I suck
at writing says my head, don’t
listen says my hand
October 20
I like to say words
Out loud, Coriander sounds
spicy on my tongue
October 21
this going to work
is surely overrated
trading life for money
October 22
Morning eyelash kiss
a wet nose nudging my face
Kitty wakeup call
don’t have much to say
today so I won’t say much
‘til it’s tomorrow
October 23
hot pink sari with
gold threads running through
streets of silk and fire

For Louis Collins
He prefers travel
to islands but only those
you haven’t heard of
with names like Penang
and Mauritius. He returns
with stories to tell
Will the result be
different if I write by
hand or computer?

The wind blew through last
night and stole my oak tree's coat
of yellow and red
night and stole my oak tree's coat
of yellow and red

Farmer's market foodporn:
purple potatoes andrainbow chard
purple potatoes andrainbow chard
I weep with desire
for the absinthe caramels
and twice baked croissants
for the absinthe caramels
and twice baked croissants
October 28
Reclining in the
bathtub looking at pretty,
pink, bubble wrapped toes
bathtub looking at pretty,
pink, bubble wrapped toes

Full on autumn now
where did the hummingbird go?
to the land of bloom?
where did the hummingbird go?
to the land of bloom?
October 30
I'm rollin' with it
this poem, this chapter, this
life
could be over soon
October 31
The vampire came
and I offered my neck but ‘twas
and I offered my neck but ‘twas
Candy corn he wanted
the end.
