Type Cast
I wanted to play the clown
But I was cast as the fool.
An unwelcome disappointment
An unnecessary burden
An inconvenient truth
At an inconvenient time.
Trip to the Fruit Stand
I traveled to the fruit stand
To buy some oranges
Only to discover they were
Out of season.
Which reminded me of the
Apple of my eye
That rotted on the tree.
Both unavailable because
I waited too long
To venture out to the fruit tree.
I traveled to the fruit stand
To buy some oranges
Only to ask myself.
“I need them for what reason?”
Last Days
The last days are looming near
Like a dawn that will
Soon break forth
Into full
Day.
The last song is being sung
Like the final movement
Of the symphony
That will soon
Break into a
Standing
Ovation.
And soon I will stand
Before the fullness
Of the day
To applaud
A symphony
Written by the dew.
In the Morning
In the morning when I wake
Life breaks forth like
Syrup from a jar
That even though it was
Labeled shatterproof
Still managed to break.
Ode to the Perfume Laden Lady
A lady with too much perfume
Walked into my room.
And even though she is gone
Her scent still looms.
An unwelcome intrusion
That caused my nose
Too much confusion.
