Overhearing Poems

the nurse speaks

everyone's in pain
some have just learned to hide it
better than others.

- - - - -

the daughter speaks

don't argue with him
you're just egging him on more
let him die in peace

truth

the older I get
the more it's true
I can't finish a poem
without someone dying

A new poem. . .

just like my poems
the howlings of coyotes
lack truth when written

Project Agent Orange

Been awhile since I've submitted poems anywhere. In War appeared today online in Project Agent Orange, and I'll dedicate it to my poet buddy, Hans Ebner.

2018 Reports

Always good to get publishing reports for a year already considered "over" I'm guessing if any books sell during December I get those particular royalties next December. Anyway, all my new books are available in six languages, which is cool; and I get separate royalty checks from each. Fun time of year for a writer =:-)

 

Thank you Lennie. . .

shelves

hold eternal thoughts
between unopened covers
of so many books

published by lennie cox in "Our Day's Encounter" - Thanks!

my doctor speaks haiku

the pains of old age
are powerful reminders
of the fun you've had
