fields of marijuana
fields of dreams
stoners giving praise
to strains like Purple Haze
nothing is real
nothing is what it seems
cannabis clouds above
in stoner dreams
about free love
and fields of grass
that go on forever

Slumber or Eternal Day?
I’m not sure why
people talk about death
and what happens when they die
using euphemisms
that make them cry
or talking about eternal slumber
somewhere in the sky
or endless days of light
where souls gather and pray
sharing stories in an afterlife
created to expel fear
of the great unknown
that all experience some day

Acrobat Love
her sinewy limbs unfold
into positions so bold
that nothing is impossible
as she twists and coils
around the mat
like a jungle cat
her beautiful muscles
rippling with power
not an ounce of fat
in this pretty acrobat

Doggy Tales
what the Chihuahua said
went right to the Pug’s head
the praise was extreme
and came in a steady stream
but it was insincere
meant for a gullible ear
the praise was a ploy
like a rubber toy
a distraction
an animal interaction
where the Chihuahua
got mean satisfaction
watching the Pug’s reaction
to his insincere words
that were like mockingbirds

Fraudulent Fiction
for those who want to know
fiction can be fraudulent
in many ways
literary forgeries
can amaze
using real people
in fictional context
is also one of the ways
to cheat readers
with pilfered phase
beware
there’s sneaky writers
out there!

Fast as a Ferrari
No one was faster than Finn
who could outrun the wind
with his Cheetah-like limbs
he was as fast as a Ferrari
or a Lamborghini
on an endless track
to hell and back
his speed was a sight to see
more impressive than a Humvee
Finn was all he could be

A New Year
2026 is here
ahead of us
is a new frontier
an opportunity to
start a new career
or a chance to
become a pioneer
it’s all up to you
on what you want to do

Creepy Good
there was something about him
that made the students beware
that made them curious
about his 1000-yard stare
He was slender and tall
a loner that seldom spoke
and who played great basketball
on the varsity team
that was undefeated
and every coach’s dream
but when the lights went out
and everyone went home
he stood outside the gym alone
looking at the wall’s graffiti
showing him looking creepy
a hero on the hardwood floor
afterwards a laughingstock
students liked to ignore
then one day he went away
and joined the NBA

Drunk as a Skunk
I got into an argument with my boss the other day
and afterwards I got drunk as a skunk
with a lot to say
I lurched around the office
in an alcoholic haze
a pissed-of apprentice
ending his days

Christmas Story 2025
Baby Jesus quietly slept in a bed of hay
his parents nearby keeping guard
night and day
while ICE agents roamed the land
preying on Brown people in a sickening display
of racist hatred during the Christmas holiday
What would the grown Jesus have to say?
