Does It Matter?
The world is full of liars, some good and some bad. Does it really matter? Storytellers, since ancient times, have told us stories that never ever were Mayhap happened not in the way the tales were told, for drama, for effect To seek the deepest truth of who we are, how we feel, and what […]
You’re a Real Card ~ Part 3 ~ Hearts
Hearts Hearts are home, family, friends that haven’t met yet When you realize opportunity has met preparation The joy when you win, but don’t remember your bet All of the simplest things with the greatest relation Hearts are the goodness that we all carry deep within Random acts of kindness, a gentle word, opened door […]
You’re a Real Card
Although I think you might not care Herewith I will set down, begin to share Many simple life lesson that I swear I learned while playing at solitaire My explication might sound like fluff For this game played sitting on your duff How could anyone ever play enough To learn any life lesson, simple or […]
In an Instant
Sometimes in deep hours of night, insomniac, I think I know the answer While other times, in the brightest light of day, I’m much less certain Perhaps my problem is I don’t really even know the question to ask here When will ever I have a moment to learn, while I face such a […]
Listen
I think, perhaps, I’ll write a poem an undiscovered story tonight While I sit, eyes closed, listening to the music of classical guitar Hard church pews, though near the sacred altar, still numb my butt Yet listen, the music, oh the music, convinces me I do, not care On a simple Saturday, though full […]

When a Fan of a Certain Age Attends a Students’ Classical Concert
Hot lights shine, burn yellow, orange, blue and red Reflecting back off crimson shoes and scarlet laces Clashing with those many white and black clad Sharp counterpoint to their serious, sober faces Red the vagrant color corrupts the evening’s show Bright blood, a wound, mimicked by a flautist’s tie Stark food-color hair in back, […]

Light, A Distant Vista
Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]
DICHOTOMY PROJECT
Found Verbiage Free Verse As I’ve begun exploring what haiku, poems and stories can be garnered from the headlines, sub-heads and captions (the bold-faced type) in my local daily newspaper, I’ve begun to wonder what this might say about our existence at this moment in time. Like snapshots, capturing images, emotions, our greater story expressed […]
