Five Poems

Hello friends,

Five small poems this week. Enjoy! (And please consider purchasing The Robots of Babylon — your support would mean a lot to me.)

FREE WILL (Palindrome)

I'm all
I was.

It is 
as it is.

A will
am I.

THE CHRYSALIS (Anagrammed Lines)

A shy echo splinters
those shiny parcels.
The chrysalis opens
physical otherness....

---

THE SPIDER (Palindrome)

Spider, spider,
up to no saga,
so not pure,
dips,
        re-dips....

---

ONE-CONSONANT HAIKU

On one neon noon,
an ion in an aeon:
Union. Ennui.

RAPUNZEL (Lipogram, using only the letters in its title)

A pure, lunar allure;
a paler upper pearl —
reappear, a puzzle;
lure an unreal leap.
Pull up an earl,
per a rare appeal....
