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
