Lily-gilded RSVP [rubai]

Other coast but many a thank
happy trails with nary a spank
here in the ocean of our existence
who'll water-walk with nary a plank?

FB v. G+ [ditty]

If comfort is the mother of convention
habitués of Facebook won't be swayed
allowing Google Plus offers contention
its case: 1 sandwich shy of being made

"Time seemed a river?" [rubai / gnomic verse]

Deadlines like rules are made to be broken?
poems like jewels gleam best when bespoken
time seemed a river that never ran back?
dreamers like fools transform when awoken

Eight Adages [gnomic verses]

Tweets are sweet / but letters are better
while emails are great / real visits out-rate
to blog is fine / to jog? divine
plugged-in there's share / unplugged there's prayer

than updating status / more lofty to date us
to scribes we're beholden / but silence is golden
an eBook while handy / a book book proves dandy
bright adages gleam / dark radishes dream

"O lion of silence" [rubai]

Though silence dies when we name it
it gleams where poetries frame it
O lion of silence roaring!
who grasps a method to tame it?
