tra-la-la-ing along

another unpublished, unsolicited poem. written in March1995.

the archives are always open, if you want to read all the poems already posted. i've worked up another batch, so there will be updates irregularly, for quite a while it appears.

not much else - still nothing on the contract at work (that's on hold until July) and no word on impending (or potential) sale of the paper division .... so, as the world stumbles, we stumble along ... tra-la-la-la ....


POEMS - LIKE THE RAIN

poems - like the rain. collected in puddles, an annoyance stepped over if at all possible

they are only words
scribbled in my alone

- like stray dogs that bark & wag their tails, but are always without name tags, shots - to be avoided if at all possible

they are only stones
before your doorstep
that i believed were diamonds

perceived as pyrite
at their very best
