Thank you Tom, and Rohith! 

Tom, love the suggestions, have edited now...much obliged  :)

He rolls the right words
in a chamois mouth-

polished, gleaming, they
click, rattle

against
the ceramic smile

before the jackpot
spills, a lacquered wonder

artful, haphazard, edges
rounded with use

I like this, Sharon - words as dice. Tom

Thanks, Tom 

S

I like this a lot Sharon - are you going to post this as a topic in it's own right?

Regards,

Roger

Thanks, Roger-

 I hadn't really thought to...it needs a bit of work (punctuation, etc),.just trying to get my groove back after a hiatus.  ;)

Sharon

It felt so good
when those keys hit my palm,
heavy, clinking.

Thank you.

Everything soft, in stages
of moist decay, green and velvet
with moss, with mold

and lichen. Rain rots
this place, woods swell
and slicken, rocks run bright

with slime. Even the three o'clock
sun must shine, lime and limpid
filtered through thick fir.

Sunday afternoons I might choose her lane, when
the '15 items or less' creeps into the frozen foods
and everyone's decided the pantry's been bare
long enough. If I have to.

Isn't it 2012? She can't even manage
the requisite retail grin. My mangos, my hummus,
my greek yogurt...all flash past the scanner under her furious fingers.

I'm sized-up, decided, dismissed- in one shrug she undoes
all the diversity tolerance training
management pounded into the staff last month. None of that matters, now-
I have the audacity to be a Christian. In her lane.

write one
about me
he said

and grinned a
Tom Cruise mile.

I can't recall if I ever did.
Well, had I done

it would be something with a
white tee shirt
a dead dog

and a crow.

bravo, Sharon
bravo


Thank you.

Thank you, Dax :)

Best,

Go ahead, shock me.

I'll find such art


maybe
slap in a filthy word
or two, especial if
two points!

or anatomy

because that's  just
so funny

or

O yah
