Whiskey Nice a small series of small poems

 

by Michael Sikkema

 

 

 

 

unicorn on the cob

 

 

 

overtaken dollared greens

 

 

 

cardinal cindy effigy

 

 

 

grand tin canyon

 

 

 

yup a gladder unto thee rough

 

 

 

a sole jerk sin treble

 

 

 

uncanny duet he can

 

 

 

your pocket telegraph

gets in so tight

to here tight to hear

 

 

 

wasp paper trail

 

 

 

live early to dilate

 

 

leave some dutiful cops
