Chuck Audette Poems

It looks like forced entry
by a criminal hardened -
Where is the sentry
who's guardin' my garden?
...

a snowstorm leaves
a passing
wintertime belief
the white and dark
...

the coin falls
dropped in the well
bouncing off walls
deep to hell
...

For an umpteenth time, I fix my tie
glance at the clock and sigh
The memorial service starts at eight
And as always, we'll be late
...

Orion is dancin' across the heavens
and there's stars in the eyes of the sisters seven
Mars comes courting the Earth tonight
til the moon ends their date with his paternal porch light
...

'Pizza in the lunchroom'
she said as she walked by
pizza in the lunchroom?
I had to go and try
...

I told the man
'I think I am...
I think I am a moth'.
He looked me up and down
...

I don't care
people stare
and really want to laugh
a mystery
...

Whose woods these are I do not know.
I wish he was here to help me, though;
He will not see me wand'ring here
To curse his woods fill up with snow.
...
