Poem No. 2

Writing Poetry

Sometimes the words
flow like water
sliding down a windshield
pooling
streaming
the path of least resistance

But other times
it's like a tooth extraction
gripping
wrenching
hauling
until
it is pulled out
leaving a
new kind of pain..

Poem No. 1

O Christmas Tree

With musical crash
A seven-foot conifer
Swan-dives to the floor.
