Sleep
sleep, the allurement
into the depths
no direction or placement
there is nothing except
a place of unfoldment
when something is stirred
past, present and future
all is endured
restful or restless
sleep has occurred

A Plain Wooden Crate
A Plain Wooden Crate
A plain wooden crate
built of 4 X 8 plywood
standing upright and new
there in plain view
on the edge of a pasture
brought thru fence or a gate
creating a surprising
change in landscape
can one simply observe it
and allow it to be
or as a curious child
want to know what we see
noticing it’s enclosed
and there’s no one around
there is stillness, no movement
not even a sound
and a smile then appears
as we realize what is found
for the crate may be empty
simply empty
and our wonders abound

How to Spell
How to Spell
how to spell?
at school i did well
now times have changed
and words rearranged
thru the ages
& progressive stages
we’ve simplified
new rules applied
it’s become a skill
to abbreviate until
there’s little left
or right
when we text
it’s the context
symbol or word
it is still heard
meaning conveyed
misspelled or played?
threw out a rule
it’s a new school
