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 […]
It’s Yours
Whenever life has the last laugh, and it is on you Drops you in the drink, snaps a lace on your shoe Challenging and unfair, you may think, often true But more often the problem is all because of you “Wait,” you say, “How can this be blamed on me?” “I achieved all I was […]
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 […]
Life Upside Down
My most recent verse was written with my notebook upside down It reads rather darkly, but I don’t think that could be the reason why The implications could be staggering enough to make me frown All the times I’ve moped and moaned, gnashed my teeth and cried Remember all the mawkish cheer, eyes twinkling, sung […]

Nothing to Fear
He walked through town, Late one afternoon, Wearing a Cheshire smile I asked him, “why?” And he said, “Come walk with me a while.” We strolled on, Looking for a dark street, A lawn, an open field Somewhere we could stand Or sit, or lie Manufactured light Obscured, occulted A phrase turned oddly, Thought, I […]
Reason to Ask
Let us sit down quietly, gathered all together Let us speak of what’s vital, wind and weather Listen to the trees that shade us, are our home Bless beings we eat, wear, the grass and loam Sit peacefully, talking rarely with gentle voices Opening our very being to embrace all choices Acknowledge our connection to […]
