Share My Shorts #1: Adjusting My Freudian Slip is the first collection (probably not the last) of my short-short poems, ten lines or less.My idea for a short poem is to pack as much punch into as few words as possible, maximizing the impact. I feel that this compaction is one of the beauties of poetry. It allows a lot of thinking on the part of the reader within a short time frame and is easier to remember later.Beware you don't read too many at one sitting; they might be easy going down, but they have a tendency to explode inside you later.You have been warned!Introductory discount for lulu patrons.

This Cats All Around represents many of my poems concerning or about cats or catlike worlds of people.You don't have to be a cat lover to enjoy these poems, but it could help on some of them.I love cats, especially kittens, but think they are better off outdoors; even if you are an indoors cat person you should find something in here to fancy your tickle.

The Swoosh Family is presented in poetic format here in all its lack of glory. It is a family shrub of insightful dysfunction.Warning: you may see some of yourself or your family tree in here.

This is the third and last (Is that sad or what?) book of poems in the Orgasm trilogy. Different in some ways, but still satisfying. It contains all the remaining orgasm poems to date. As one gets older one reaches the point where there are more memories of orgasms past than hopes of orgasms future.What is an orgasm? If you ask most people they think only of sex when you say or ask orgasm. But these poems explore the many possible meanings and contexts of orgasms. They are meant to be a bit satirical or at least more satirical than sexual although as with all orgasms you can take them anyway you like them.

This is the first book in a series of Poetry Basket collections. Each person picks a basket of my poems from the metaphorical poetry patch outside The Poetry Barn.I then put them into a book, a bigger basket, to present to you for your enjoyment too.Always remember to stop and smell the poetrees.

Wild stories from wilderness times of a lost youth. No matter how you may try to be good it doesn't always work.Warning! contains material not suitable for children.

This is the second book of Swoosh Family poems. So I guess you might like to know where the Swoosh family came from.The actual Swooshes are scribbles that live at the bottom of some pages in my written idea-journals. They started out as nameless, undistinguished scribbles to end a page and fill up an extra line or so at the bottom.Somewhere about three years in they began to take a particular shape that reminded me of faces so I began adding eyes and mouth indications. That gave them a personality in my jaded eyes. They were looking at me as I turned the page and they sort of reminded me of people I knew or knew about. I wrote a poem, then three, then three hundred or so.The family members and extended family members are not my own family necessarily, but are each based on people I have met, in some cases heard about; it's a writer thing I guess.Check these out; you may know some of them yourself.

This book contains more than birthday sentiment. That is the + after Birthday in the title. This book may be just a bit more expensive than some regular hallmarked cards.But it is infinitely more useful. Just check any or all poem pages you think apply to the recipient or occasion. Gift it with or without additional wrapping.It can be passed on as often as one likes with each new gifter marking their intention boxes in a different color.The recipient may read only those checked or dive in as deep as they can stand.

The working title for this was "In Search of the Lost Orgasm" in homage to an album, "In Search of the Lost Chord" by the Moody Blues which played for a year one night in a driving stone-tripped 1970 weekending night, but when I searched the net for the title I found only sex references which was not the part I wished to emphasize. I came up with "Orgasm Cookbook" to indicate a much more everyday orgasmic idea, oohs, ahs and ahas of all sizes and shapes.What is an orgasm? If you ask most people they think only of sex when you say or ask orgasm. But these poems explore the many possible meanings and contexts of orgasms. They are meant to be a bit satirical or at least more satirical than sexual although as with all orgasms you can take them anyway you like them.
