We Must Take This Time
~~~~~ We must take this time and the lesson of our current government as everything we should not do to help people of all backgrounds, races, religions or none, all genders, sexual orientations and any other difference or to advance democracy. The administration of President Trump has been a chilling wakeup call. His base and […]
Mirror, Mirror
~~~~~ We know less is more and more is less. Great description of our current mess. How much will you fight for, sacrifice, Will you overlook corruption and vice? Do you know where you are, why and When, who you want to be by the end? If you accept even one mass shooting Carrying even […]
Never Desert Dessert
Frozen gold, Sweet and wonderful, Held in your steady hand. Quick licks to keep it smooth; Napkin and paper cone securing it. You considered having two scoops; Now you are glad that you chose one . D \ Though the electric yellow of lemon / D RI \ And the rich darkness of chocolate […]
Turning Over, No Ignition
~~~~~ I’ll start out, just string words together, to see what might come out. Out of my mouth, out of my mind, out of time, out at home plate on a controversial call. Don’t stall, get busy. In a tizzy. Write something, anything at all dig deep and don’t stop digging until you find something […]
No Escape
~~~~~ The Most Addictive Drug What is, do you think, the most addictive drug? If I suggest possibilities, you may nod or shrug. It is neither heroine nor is it prevalent nicotine; It’s something that makes us act more obscene. What, you say? You believe it is crack cocaine? By comparison to this, we could […]

A ‘70s Lament and a Moral
~~~~~ Hearing the music of a long forgotten song, A classic, yet we don’t remember its name. It’s not always even what we would choose. Life is its own agenda, some win, some lose. Reminds us, can’t see what tomorrow brings. How any moment might be paupers or kings. What I would say, choose […]
Whorled Enough and Time
~~~~~ How many names will not be remembered? What numberless stories will never get told? Life on the Earth, with no guaranteed word; No one may remember, when you grow old. Is this any way important, when we’re loved? Mothers, fathers, family and friends abound. To chosen families, we are fitted and gloved. With a […]
Soon Remember
~~~~~ Soon, we will return home, again, With nothing but time to spend. We dream of places to roam, then Watch the tube, read a book, pretend. Though how we’ve lived until now, Makes us feel guilty for shirking. Want to produce; we don’t know how. Remember, what we did wasn’t working VOTE, November 3, […]
Answer to an Unasked Question
~~~~~ Passionate Pacific my daily inspiration, sunlight, sand and surf. Murmured messages wash on shore, chased by crashing waves. Warm strand, moonlit, twinkling on the swells, reflecting earth, Wind, water, weather form transient art, the sea gives and takes. Humbled by such vastness of ocean, rolling beyond the horizon, This and more besides to stir […]
