Three old ones
Santa Clause...
The Easter Bunny...
The Tooth Fairy...
God, Honor, Justice...
Love...
I'm half afraid that when I get to
Death -
That'll turn out to be bullshit too.
Love story number nine
Long trip in a short boat
I knew when I launched -
my Canoe -
Into the river of her -
Whitewater eyes -
That I was in for a troubling
Ride -
And wouldn't be back -
For Days.
Going places at the speed of night
Bus Trip
Through the clouded night
binary stars passing
at the speed of light
distant red stars pulsing
left and right
square, round, diamond
galaxies reflecting
far off -
buffeted
by dark matter -
unseen hands -
interstellar winds -
rocking the bus,
the cradle
So why not?

Dude I wish you'd linked earlier. You are a great poet. Word economy, gritty language, succinct, terse. My kinda stuff. The first one is bloody superb.
Hope to be back again sometime.
Luke

In the "Long ride in a short boat"
When I read "for days", I was thinking " for daize" :-)
Fuggettaboutit!
We two old ones are beginning
to stretch our gray limbs
out there into the cyber void
of Planet Poetics.
You are on a roll, sir,
and I can barely keep up.
Over the years I have
posted what, like 80
of your poems over on
FFTR, and have cajoled
and pleaded with you to
share your stuff with others;
and NOW there you are
over at Magpie, Applehouse,
and now Jingle's joint,
where I haven't submitted
yet--and look at the feedback,
Christ...."You are a great poet.
Word economy, gritty language,
succinct, terse."
"Absolutely brilliant...poetic
stirring words.."
"Lovely piece, enjoy your wit."
"nice". So what has God
and the poetic Muses wrought?
We both know,
Palmer the Poet.
I had already posted
SANTA CLAUSE and
LONG TRIP IN A SHORT
BOAT, but BUS TRIP
I did not recognize, and
was pleased to post it
this morning.
Keep on rockin'
Slick.
Yes, indeed -- now every body else has discovered MY amazing Doug Palmer -- poet. Oh well. Can't keep such good stuff a secret for long in this info day and age.
