These poems spun out of the game
"If / Then", "Plato's Universe"
(invented in 1993 with help from my then
eight-year-old granddaughter, Kyla Kegler).



*  *  *  *
The dragon flies

through lissome palms.                                       

Orange peels

in stellar sun.

*  *  *

Horses gallop.
Tinkling bells warm the night
and warn the knight.


* *  *

        LOUD CRASH! baby cries


*  *  *
All birds flock flamingos
gather in pink clouds.

*  *  *

Cornish Mountains moved, tumbled.
Horizontal Planes cracked and rumbled.
Gawkish Men stumbled, mumbled.

*  *  *
If silver shines in scurrilous pockets,
thirty thieves will cower in cages!

*  *  *

Green plants bloom. 
Spinach, garlic garnish the sun-lit table.



*  *  *
Pegasus and a goat - then where is Orion? 
Over the Orinoco!
And why does the river wind so far?
Its end - midst angles, Devil's face, Grecian gods
and dots sublime -
Is sought forever in transparent time.
