It would seem that I have been having writer's block. The truth is my put it off has been working overtime. I know I should do this more often and promise myself only to find that I have missed again. Here finally is a couple new poems. Enjoy.
Scary Succinct
My mental pith helmet
is as pithy as can be
it helps me describe
all the things that I see.
But sometimes I
find things that shouldn't be
then that little helmet
scares the pith out of me.
Terra Firma
The terra is a terror
for the firma isn't theror
the sink holes and shaking
yields heart tach and quaking.
We pump fluid under pressure
into every crack and fissure
it moves things with such mettle
Ma Nature must resettle.
She shakes greatly in her quest
so we ride a moving crest;
we say, "Be quiet por favor."
then poke her awake once more.
We mine and interrupt support;
she makes big holes to retort.
Belief in science we suspend,
it thwarts our pecuniary end.
