... and juicy got-your-text phone calls
i want to write you love poems
mixing front seat cuddles and ... to strangers
let us settle into their stomachs
nourish them with this
i want to write you love poems
wring my heart into ink
delicately ...
compress and expand
palpitations into stanzas
i want to write you love poems
this is not a request
this is not a demand
just tell me you’ll read ...

dear readers
in the midst of insistent and sweet whirlwinds, a few love poems, for my romantics….
cuddle
we said cuddle
but her voice said wet
and so I set
my hands on sweet tirade
and mouthed out cuddle
in tongues
it wasn’t you
it wasn’t you
but I blessed you
nonetheless
it wasn’t you
but I still smell you
on the rest
it was never you
yet I fought you

... reading "Love Poem" by Robert Bly, the kids wrote these poems. Oh, but the look on some of the boys' faces when I told them they were going to write a love poem today! Classic.

... loves you.
But this poem
loves you foggily too.
This poem love you
in meteorologically uncertain terms.
And this poem has no clue
how ... rhinosurrus
on the veldt,
thinking rhinocerous
thoughts of love
in its great big
stupid rhinocerus
heart, ... dumb
it can't even spell
its own name
correctly! Because it
mulls its love for you
the way a river
mulls a rinocirrus.
Did you notice
the rhino ...
