Graphite Cedar Sugar Crunchies #2

Do you know what
breakfast cereal
is made of? It’s made
of all those little curly
wooden shavings
you find
in pencil sharpeners

Found poem from Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Showing your 28 year old son his 21st birthday card

You've got the key to the door
now you turned
Twenty one, before
we changed the locks
and said thanks a lot
for everything you've
yet to do, for yourself.

World War V-for-Virtual


The War continued, now by wireless.
Several flags and formations
decided considerable battles
exploiting education and vocabulary.

Conversely the North lacked light
and some idea of what systematic
ocean its answering surveillance
could properly case.

War potential, updated,
substitutes for function.
