THE POET

"Limbs leap to the sky

Leaves listening in the sun

A forest - beautiful"

by Damien Massella October 1987

BIRDS

Awakening, small

Chirping, flying, feathery

Sitting, shot dying.

by Damien Massella

Life

Life is like a giant pizza

Covered with cheese,

Its crust is a fluffy piece of dough,

The sauce is thick and spicy,

with a touch of peppers.

Yet, somehow

no matter how you make it,

it always taste good, luscious, and inviting.

by Damien Massella

Frustration

I saw frustration clearly.

He was muscular, strong

he turned and jumped out, chair in hand

I saw his green eyes, and white skin

And heard him scream and yell

And I felt queer.
