NEWBORN

Such a quizzical look
On a small round face
As you survey this latest
Incarnation and the extras
Like gravity, marzipan, cats,
And causality. Alas, no one
Lives by writing poetry
But stick around anyway.

Thanks Given

I am a voice in God’s head;
Not lobbying for more
TV, famine, and pestilence
Nor urging Him to paint
Himself blue and run naked
Downtown; instead I praise
His works –the peach, the damson
And, above all, my new grandson.
