Grilling Tongs

Just the metal ones
get hot
making it no good
for grilling
Serving Tongs
they call them

Ones with a
rubber handle
are for grilling
 

But if you
grill after dark
then you need
tongs with
LED Lights.

How to Celebrate your Birthday kit

A Kit from Dictionary is

a set or collection of tools, supplies, instructional matter, etc., for a specific purpose

A Kit 

replaces procrastination

of shopping

of making a shopping list

With all things in your reach

and instructions 

you have everything but to do

Have you ever seen a boring kit?

Even the Eyeglass repair kit

like an expert's bag contents

and purpose is magic

A Kit is fun
like a cupcake
instead of a cake
mini pennants
spell BIRTHDAY
just the same

How to Lose this poem?

Good night after a sad day

Its always a
Good Night
after even the
worst day
of the world



Title from a Twitter post

There's something that likes flowers

One Vase

Two Bunches of Flowers

Four Vertical Crystal Edges

Stick Stalks

Geometry ends there

Curves flow

Each flower 

begins like anjali 

ends in a thread

Anjali a cup
formed by palms
When the palms
are full of flowers
its Pushpanjali
when the cup
is a flower
its a Calily

Something there is that doesnt love a wall

surprising number of memorable poems concern rocks

The Art of Painting

The Art of Painting
We always think
of painting as art
that there is an
art even in the activity
is instructive

Things to do

She matched her
soft brush
to the spiky brush
her mouth open
teeth with the evil
one on the white
board of things to
do

Ideas for product

What  hurts?
holding your tablet with both hands

The head of a tripod

Did you know that the tripod
has a head
which wills to be corked
by any right sized
mount opening

The true spirit of anything

ADOMI 6 Foot Deluxe Fully Decorated Artificial Christmas Tree 10 Kinds Red/Gold Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments (141Pcs), Unlit

The true spirit of Christmas

First there is anything
Say Christmas
And then its meaning is lost
then you talk of its spirit

A spirit lamp is what I think of
so the fun is limited?
the oil/alcohol runs out
til you find new wells
big well to small well

you heart swells with joy
and when it doesnt no more
you go to the true spirit

like with law
you say letter of the law
intent of the law
why wasnt the intent
in the letter?

No contents says the
iphone

When we get the true spirit
do we go back to
anything

spirit of love
do you go back
to noun or verb
or meaning of it.

The Very Red Water works

Above ground
water pipe at the school
very red like blood

Spare poem

How would you describe a  Spare poem ?

Not spare like sparse
spare like stepney

In the sky

Birds flew together
like
grad caps

Green peach

A peach
is
green peach
at first

Does red apple start green?

What happened to my morning tea?

Why does coffee heated up in the microwave foam up when sugar is added

What is an Experiment?

It makes the effect
of the invisible atoms
visible

Invisible here is
to the human eye

California two-spot octopus
sees with its skin

Whats inaudible to us
is not to dogs

Animal dictionary
does not match ours

Is life's purpose a
unified dictionary?

In the dark
does it matter
what color the octopus is?

It all depends on the prey's
eyes

Can a blind person
now see with his skin
or a deaf person
through some other
mechanism than ears?

Biomimicry
until all living things
sense in the same way.

What stone lends

Today inspiration - sculpture

Stone lets human body
defy gravity

This Digital Life

A mommy's nesting instinct
includes unsubscribing to
unnecessary emails

'you may like' of a e-newspaper
lists tragedy

Ekphrasis

Rattle ekphrasis
"You don't just have to open the door; you have to rebuild the door" - Justin Dart

The door was never there
like you were never there
until the woods grew
and sustained life
that flew
that gnawed
that sawed
and built a door
to the woods
that vanished life
of the last feather
jaw
man.

Excuses

Chicken Biryani rife with spices
tastes good with hot peanut chutney
A spoon of chutney left on the plate
begs for a helping of chicken biryani
Some left rice on the plate
calls for chutney

Baby is not in your tummy anymore

Come bathe me
Baby is not in your tummy anymore
Sit with me on the floor
Baby is not in your tummy anymore
Can you lift my scooty over the threshold


This is what my daughter says after her little sis is in her hands.
Once she asked me if the baby will go back into tummy.
Digital nest making for babies - unsubscribing from all groupon and other daily emails that are anyways not used during the first 6 weeks immobility of having a new baby.
