Three Poems
J. D. Nelson
luck hum
earth could be the friend
is that a seemer
the nice wolf
running thru the kingdom naked
gnome root
and think bock
trick schick and the pounce
a new earth bug
now earth shakes for the bats
a planet similar to earth could exist on the edge of another galaxy
a new planet named for the silkworm
memphis has leaks
give us wax packs
using the glass opera now
mane wars here on the savanna
cat tongue on human skin
peek like a little lion
baby corn spirit
juggling cranberries
the bats out west are my friends
when the bats come whipping
yarn cola that yark
the ghost shark is thumping
now earth has babies
the rat tail is a rope
a wolf halo
I showed up with a merry stick lion
& a flanneled llama
carefully mountain gorilla now
that ape is at it again
the creeping platter
to mock the apple pie
here is a scabbard and a soda
there was cocoa in the lotto showroom
to start the hammer war with the moon
hogs why and wise
the badger coin is a sweaty dumpling
the weekly unit of cow earth is a horn toot
latitude deepener is the good bonny ball of glee
my head was in line with the planets all night
the bee was a saturn
a common search term
your move is printed on the card
half of it is a word
tomorrow earth is next
in the tree time
a wall of sugar cubes
