Wisely Pick
Folk music concert draws a crowd, some new and familiar faces Seen both in the audience and also in the band Old time tunes brought to life, different folks in different places The fiddler’s riffs hearken back unto the land The times and songs that these musicians all carry in their heads Must give their […]
Flower Power
Stucco walls and Spanish tile roofs Backed by tall, tree-crowned hills Set off by gnarly oaks, blossoms, wisteria Sing myriad tulips, rejoicing daffodils Heady fragrance; dizzy, spinning, is it this Perhaps, or perhaps it’s too much sun From which I reel, causes my confusion Everywhere, people, groups, myriad, unique Such a wide, amazing mix of […]
Conflict of Interest
We all want it. We all want it all. We do. Do we? Or is that just a story we’ve been repeatedly told? Love, home, family, food, friends no longer hold Enough; fail to comprehend what enough may be New flashy car, a fancy man, a trophy wife to start All the latest apps we […]
When We All Know

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 […]
Never Live In Fear
How will we decide what to do, what to think, what we will think In our world of conflicting opinions, way too much information While we caper and cavort blindfolded, ever so close to the brink Believing we’re so ordinary, nothing extraordinary can be done When actions are performed beyond the pale, it will not […]
So We Pretend
How do we choose all the choices we make From the simplest ones to risks we will take What motivates us to decide what’s our goal Will power, money, love, sex make us whole Are health and happiness the top on our list Or upon a good life of beauty, fame we insist We want […]
What Can Be Done
What can be done When two become One minus one And zero the sum Is less than nothing Painfully derived from More than something A complex problem You love both One related, one not You’re loathe To be on the spot Yet the story heard Is only half Of two endeared Incomplete math Yes, you’ve […]
