rainbow mystery

curious rainbow
you pirouette
upon my window shade
like a pup
yearning to fetch

curious rainbow
you're only vapor and dust
yet
you see, like a friend
and you emanate

like the light bulbs that
exploded
when my father
blew a fuse
at Christmastime

lemonade pours upon ice
and I am gone
mother's happy pecks
upon my dirtied head

but when I return
curious rainbow
you too have vanished

talk

listen about the jet stream
of flight
heard overhead
whilst below a sparkly unicorn
spoke with a triceratops

prattling, were they
under a canopy of verdant
leaves high above
yet

close upon
the maniacal waterfalls
and
misty hydrogen kisses

water drops danced upon
triceratops'
one and only horn

when the genius unicorn
comrade said
Harry
you've traveled in time

Hunger

There once lived a beast
Who hungered for a bone

I cannot sleep
The little beast thought

He tossed
And turned

He lounged around
His home

He did not excite over a walk
Over a squirrel

When his master said
What’s wrong, sport?

The little beast placed his head
Upon his paws
And sighed

One day, a young woman appeared
In the doorway

The master looked at her
And then at the little beast

And she looked at the master
And then at the little beast

Honey, perhaps he wants a bone
She said

The little beast perked his ears
And his head came off his paws

A bone? It has to be!
The master said

Beast went hungry no more
The end
