Three Epigrams on Silence

Silence says what can’t be said:

Speak a word and then it’s dead.

*

Blessed the man with nothing to say;

Woe to him who chatters all day.

Three Rules For Everything

1. Slow down;
2. do it again;
3. don't give up.

READER RESPONSE

Those epic works are such a scam.
Read one? I couldn’t give a damn.
I think I’ll stick to the epigram.

FOUR SEASONS

In spring love is the call.
Summer echoes lust.
Then fall is my fall.
And winter is my dust.

The early bird may get the worm,
But the night owl dines on rabbit.

CREDO

I don't believe there are any athiests;
I can't be so sure about agnostics.

YOUR IMMORTALITY

Your name? Nothing that anyone should know.
It’s just a signature pissed in snow.

CARPE DIEM, PLEASE

I've heard you cry, Let's seize the day!
Yeah, yeah, I heard you yesterday.

If he's not glossed,
I'm lost.
