Chuck Audette Poems

Time gives a freckle
I laugh on the spot
but these wrinkles,
well,
...

'It nourishes the soul'
(that is what I've heard)
if, when proven wrong
you can eat your words
...

shipwrecked -
my vessel
visible below
where in panic I beached it at this unknown shore
...

a nude beach
looks like fun
yet my pale moon
should never see the sun
...

my dreams are torn
a sound like jets
my wife lies awake
but I'm not yet.
...

It seems
the weather-filled rain
has affected my sleep
my river of dreams
...

horrified shout
anguished face
she went out
without her wig in place
...

I'll stand in style above the aisle
while she shops and smiles that smile

Never seeing just how clever
...

the moon floats
on a calm sea
and the fishes
seem to
...
