From the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow (Arkansas)

Some of these poems have gushed up from wherever such things lie. And some have been formed from news articles or photos.

SEN-NEWS

"Christmas Eve"

a failed attempt
at suicide--the Madoffs
after the news broke
~~~

SEN-NEWS

"Later, perhaps"

We burn
our macramas,
those stifling body veils.
The flames resemble thin, frilly
neck scarves.
~~~

CINQUAIN

"In the Mountains"

Inside
in the Ozarks
during the autumn? What
a shame! But, geez! It's 28
degrees!
~~~

CINQUAIN

"Noise"

Last night
the fan sounded
like a bullfrog in pain.
I sprayed some Skin-So-Soft on it.
Voila!
~~~

SENRYU

"At the writers colony"

replica
of a Dairy Hollow cow
watching as I write
~~~

CINQUAIN

"Late October"

Brewing
second 4-cup
pot of flavored coffee
on this cold and rainy Ozark
morning.
