Garden Gnome
A free verse poem about one of my best friends.
She twirls through the rainbow garden
with a charm that disguises her size.
A diminutive sprite among the blossoms
her laughter as fragile as an angel’s wings.
Her eyes hold the sagacity
of a thousand years passed.
Her soul, a fountain of kindness
overflowing with admiration for all living things.
She waltzes with the breeze
her joy, so pure and infectious.
A lady as small as a garden gnome
yet her spirit flies like an airplane in the sky.
In her presence, the world is shining bright
the colours more chromatic, the air fresher and cleaner.
For she is an instrument of the universe
a little wonder, a present to the planet.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
