Jeffrey Philip Clegg Poems

I was sitting on our sofa
reading a book about
the original carnival geeks
when I realized my girlfriend
...

With a yellow crayon
You can color the Sun
This can draw You
Close to the Son.
...

Oh verdancy! Dear verdancy!
Oh vast expanse of space!
You want Zen?
Where've you been?
...

I stroll away
beneath the cobwebbed sky
having stolen your spirit
which implodes within me
...

when beagle puppies lick you
it means they love you

when beagle puppies lick you
...

I wake up for the third day in a row with
my body screaming in pain
The insides of my elbows and knees
feel stretched to the point of snapping
...

The thrills of Spring
The fun of Summer
The pills of Winter
To lift the bummer
...

When I realized I was no longer down
I swore I'd stay away
From the demon called depression
The one that holds such sway
...

The rains of this November followed
The uncertainty of this October and
Began with the blue lights in September
Revolving in my car's rear window.
...

I was about to use my blender
to make a big, beautiful Hurricane
which I figured would help
blow me away
...
