Halloween Party (Ala GAAMC)

Dressed in orange and black
to be in this soiree,
hosted by GAAMC.
Isn’t that gay.

To prance and dance
behind a mask.
No straight fish-eyed glance.
Who’s that?
Don’t tell, don’t ask.

We all together join the fun
where no stress is seen.
With no agenda to run,
on this, Our Halloween.

We need not be paranoid,
on this our night-of-nights.
We leave behind factoids,
and just laugh-out, our frights.

Mal de mer ? (Tanka)

I sense the ocean/
although it is nowhere near/
surf-sounds in my ear.
I am swimming through the air/
with memories of La mer.

PURPLE (X/XX/X)

Purple is a color odd
worn to mourn and pride.
For those who are with God
for being gay, chose suicide.

For being born, like I
with love for same.
For those choosing not to die,
for those choosing not to shame.

ZE (LIMERICK)

I met a guy from Brasil
who played Polo for the thrill.

So, chukker by chukker
and pucker by pucker.

Time spent with
divots to fill.

LOVE POEM ONE

I stand on loveless feet at the shore-line,
and watch grey waters.

Motionless, I move east to meet the sun,
whose rays warm me and
color the ocean blue.

I taste the salty foam, as surf spray
slaps me awake to a fresh day.

Caressed by surf, sand, and sun
re-born, as a new-found wave.
