kennings, 1

Let me (try to) start a presentation of my poems and my kennings featured in my poems.


6000 feet

       6000 feet up plus two
       of my own
       in the stars' backyard
       surrounded by God's toys
       catholic lutheran methodist pentecostal...
       and grass lawns which grow
       cigarette butts
       will I join
       the midget trees
       in the midget town?

stars' backyard -- mountains or a town up in the mountains;
God's toys -- church buildings.
