Acknowledge the Day
Three cheers, I say, to my very good day A day which I may well pay for tomorrow Which is already a few minutes underway Think it’s all right on tomorrow to borrow I have written and painted and shopped Worked on a project to faux knotty pine Lunchtime, I even sat down and stopped […]
Total Can’t Recall
Tech jackets, watches, glasses won’t mean a single thing Won’t matter what they know or do, unless they’re bling Sure, there is a certain status in the land of the nerd elite Doesn’t mean they’ll play the burbs, be seen every street Unless this tech makes you look sharp, stylin’ and profilin’ Can you honestly […]
Blue Screen Cafes
What do expect, from texts Just the usual suspects How would that be With life the fee Head down Smile or frown Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox Yet only letters in a row Like any word we don’t know Shorthand, perhaps But often slaps Is there reason to listen Moments to […]
You’re Not
No longer will we require any high-school senior To recognize the words sagacious or prevaricator I do not think that’s wise, to say I do, I’d be a liar As the dumber we become, the lower we’ll aspire The only smart things we’ll own are phones, cars And really, both are more intelligent than we […]

You have always given me more than mere love Laughter and music, and the occasional shove You have helped me to grow, relearn how to cry You have helped me to sometimes not ask why You have been so loyal and steadfast; my rock You were forged in love, the only key to my lock […]
Sing a Different Tune

Portrait Puzzle
It seems right now, today, I have nothing to say Different tomorrow, perhaps, or on another day My attempt to fool myself, may work, or may not Feeling I have not one idea, no creative thought Still, words slowly crawl along this blank page Nothing here, I think, will make me look a sage Who […]
No Matter How Long
When you finally own your creation, you suspect life knows The path ahead should be clear, no-one stepping on your toes Not life, it does not work that way, just a game of yes and no Life sometimes tells to you stop and sometimes tells you go A game, a carnival ride, a roller coaster, […]
Please Tell Them
Genesis of Silliness Too many years ago for me to actually remember when, At a party I was attending, I saw a message written on a board near the kitchen door. I thought about how it would sound set to music, and even developed a chorus I sometimes sing in my head. It’s been around […]
Your Mother Should Know
Writing and art are my ways of sharing my views with the world I admit I often write about social issues and our need to change My dearest, darling one thinks I should write less and do more I have considered this; perhaps some time my life I’ll rearrange Yet what I paint and pixel […]
