If only I could
Draw and paint as freely as
I wrote poetry

Tanka T119
I would love it if –
A nude model at life drawing –
Had a strong sun burn –
Around a body laid on
Top of her front or back side

Tanka T117
There’s something about
Drawing nude human beings –
That makes them all seem –
More beautiful than they are –
Especially the real ones

I draw to convey ideas –
Not to be a slow –
Third rate camera

How many ways –
Can something be drawn?
As many ways –
As there’s folks drawin’

Without making them
Appear transgendered is hard

Pooping Poem P03
Last night’s dream involved –
Me being a line drawing –
Interacting with –
All the nude line drawings I’ve done –
And smearing all their colours

I’ve learned to see more beauty –
In more body types

Gave up a weekend –
In hopes of drawing you nude –
And it was worth it

Nude Poem N10
How many breast curves –
Could a person draw –
That would not look erotic?
How many hip curves –
Could a person draw –
That would not look erotic?
How many crotch curves –
Could a person draw –
That would not look erotic?
In photos, some body parts –
May not look sexy –
But not in drawings

I made myself cry –
While posing nude as Mary
In La Pietà –
List’nin’ to Louis Armstrong
Doin’ the Heebie Jeebies
