Would you care as much
If you lost a pair of socks
Rather than just one?

One Stanza Poem O180
I wish that
Nova Scotian women –
Would give me a tenth
Of a chance –
They give to local men –
When it came to romance

Don’t worry about –
The most wealthy one percent –
But worry about –
The 20 percent who ruins
It all for the rest of us

I no longer need
To be depressed to
Write a lot of poetry –
But maybe I need
To be depressed to
Write long and deep poetry

Religion is a circle –
Into which many must fit –
Spirituality is a circle –
With you at the centre of it

In this latest round
Of the draft for love –
She took someone with
A criminal past –
Rather than someone with
Potential to last

While in close embrace dancing –
I felt her heart beating –
Gently, but out of time –
So I adjusted my breathing –
And made it sync with mine

Full moon eyes in thought –
Crescent moon eyes in laughter –
Blue moon eyes in love –
