A silly French poem
Would you like to go to France And do the can-can dance? Or maybe climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower And just sit and look around for about an hour? We could spend some time in a sidewalk café Eating cheese, drinking wine and parlezing all day. I’d rent a Citroene Take the hubcaps off And like...

Sounds like a country song to me...
Brown bag blues - Since you left me I been lookin’ all around I looked out front I looked out back Fer that sad song I wrote on a brown grocery sack. I tried to block yore exit But I hadn’t counted on what you’d do nexit I didn’ think you’d run over me But I thought you had more since Than to gun...

Nursery Rhyme Politics.
Red State. Blue State. My State. You State. Politicians all fat Cause they stayed up late And ate. Green eggs and ham? If it gets votes They don’t dive a damn! Hillary had a little lamb And tried to fleece us all You know. And everywhere that Hillary went Bill will surely go. Obama didn’t invent the...

A scary thought
A black cat’s howl arches it’s back and rides a broom over the moon. Things flutter just out of sight it’s Halloween the frightful night when ghosts suffuse up through the ground then on my door they do pound. I know what would tame them and if would sure be handy had I not forgot to buy some candy.

The order of chaos
Time was When things were shiny and new Life swirled round and about Children ran and laughed. Those echoes have long since died out As nature slowly takes back what once was And order descends to ruin. What if there was a magic portal To see the past through the life of these buildings When they...

Autumn Falls
Lonely winds rattle the brittle leaves, a weak applause for their mates that have just done their last high-dive. The chill wind slices through my jacket, making my teeth into tiny jackhammers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an icicle hanging from my nose. I bend to the task of chopping wood, fresh...

Rainy afternoon blues.
I sat down with a book the pages dimly lit by the weak light spilling through the window. The raindrops sucked most of the light up and drove it into the ground. I looked out of the fogged up window and thought how I’d like to draw your face in the filmy moisture gathered there, but no matter how...

Some thoughts on September 11 2001
Gleaming towers of concrete, steel and glass. Towers that stood boldly proclaiming to all that would pass, “We are the center of world trade, there is no finer stuff than that of which we are made”. The leaders of business and finance daily tread their portals Visitors, too joined those that worked...

Life on the refrigerator door
I love you mommy Big crayon letters spell it out Perfectly clear if not perfectly lined up. My Kat Let’s hope the poor kitty doesn’t have Four L’s for legs. A little league schedule With cookie days highlighted in yellow And Billy’s mom’s phone number for the sleepover Saturday. Class assignments...

Come…
The wind whispered to the clouds, come play over the mountains a moment. Why? Grumbled the Cumulus? What’s going on? Inquired the Nimbus and Stratus. The wind urged, it is time to play and put on fanciful colors. The clouds frolicked on that night and even the muted colors proved a wondrous sight...
