Poems
by Terry Brinkman
Sleepy Whale 500
Gruff squire always love-sick
Wine dark hawk sea bay
Ghost light lost candlestick
Maladroit Alabaster silk bouquet
Gemmed fingers stuck on a stick
Low skimming shy blue-jay
Sleepy Whale 498
Delta of Cassiopeia closed to open eyes jest
Midnight sleeping time for sleeping ladybird
Half mad featherless midnight black crow
Runners to the morning Irish coffee dash
More worn than a Yellowstone Buffalo
Swept of sand lightning flash
Solutes ironical sleeping glow
Sleepy Whale 499
Pale light of last evening
Silence icily almost new
Treeless as the freeway in Peru
Scrupulously neat and almost clean
Twilight sleeping like a king
Drinking dark coffee cowgirl brew
Eyes gipsy-like Azul blue
Trouser pocket key ring
Utter trivially we met today
Sleepy Whale 496
Tide sheeting sand wet gray
Spiritual life misled
A slightly ironical night after dawn
Anticipation to never cry
Sleepy Whale ghost womans Pawn
Pluperfect inurbanity butterfly
Blue sliver ineluctable drinking lexicon
Sanguine flowered sleeping dragonfly
Sonnet CCLXIII
Scorching things her very soul is high
Sleepwalk to Womans expensive Blue Fox Beer
Golden brown griddle cakes atmosphere
Blue in the face spit fire fly
Long death kiss cry
Wanted her ball from the Auctioneer
She tickled tiny Wanes cheeks to cheer
A un-lady like thing to lie
Pealing anthem edifying spectacle embrace
Beseeching her effigy drink crying Rag
Hearth and home rusty bucket base
Laid to rest in an alabaster body bag
Gazing out the window looking at her face
Heart worth its weight in gold nag
