Connections: February 9

Where’s the writers’ catalog

that offers such invention?

I need more than prompt and blog —

a step beyond convention.

My writer’s brain is jumbled

by inchoate voices within;

I need these to cut through the mumble

to help me unriddle the din.

I’d put one on my shoulder

and the other on my head;

I know I’d be so much bolder

if I could just hear what’s being said.

Connections: November 16

Through the hoops

on the ropes

climb or be climbed —

no place for mopes.

Muscle and bone

balance and grip

a pop of the shoulder

a creak of the hip.

Yes, I tried it

 geriatrically frenetic.

“Going for gold”

I ween

might mean

something less kinetic.
