Best And More Poems

On August 29, 2005, the "Rain and Rain and more Rains came", destroying everything we had worked a lifetime for.  My home that we had just finished building, one year ago, all our furniture, keepsakes, irreplaceable cherished photos along with all our cars except...

Dedicated to my beautiful sister, Dr. Barbara Voglino, with thanks for introducing me to some of the greatest literature ever penned.  Love you, Sis!


The bedroom we shared,
Always quiet as a tomb

Until my sister Bobbie would ask 
If I wanted a tale

She spoke of a...

Died Being A Miner

Ate great chowder in crowded diner;
Then we had sailed on a lovely liner;
Life would end;
To heaven send;
He did die digging coal being a miner.

Alive today, in this time, undeserving, yet, I am blessed…
By His divine mercy
By His eternal love
With a resolute faith 
With a loving family 
With special friends – a few
With hands yearning to heal
With a gift of verse -sometimes
With a gift of stitching - therapeutic
With a...

I. Myth

A giant, I thought, fondly,
one that brought power first;
then, too, love, always love,
then, too, justice, wisdom;
you commanded the supplications
just as surely as your gods;
I thought it would reside in you
and preside over me forever.

II. More

Far more, I thought, fondly,
and gifts of bounty at hand;
then,...

(Rhyme) 


I look at you and I want you more 
You are the only one that I adore 
And when I happen to be with you 
You help me see everything brand-new. 

All things may come and just go 
But your love is something that...

beyond words unspoken, a graceful touch within
longing wraps a heart unbroken, lips softly sigh again
emotions wait, however they simply anticipate
         the moment when,
love touches some of me, and more of you

(just revised for a missing word)

More stars than anyone can ever count;
more planets too, and giant clouds of gas
between which lie an empty vast amount 
of nothingness. Do other life forms pass
through outer space? If so, how long have they
been passing through? And where would...

Trump Words and Sounds

All that Trump said were stupid sounds;
Causing emotion and heart that pounds;
Never cared,
He declared;
Straighten up one day hopefully is bound.

Jim Horn

I am amazed that he finally is starting to
admit things. Guess he doesn't have a
choice.

Trump Facing Reckoning

A reckoning, Trump must have to...

Zinnia Grandiflora a golden beauty 
Yellow Prairie Coneflower conical cutie

Xerophilous plants designed to survive
Waterlily attached to bottom soil to stay alive

Venus Fly Trap grows wild in marshes
Ulmus grows wild along with birches

Texas Bluebonnet cover fields with hyacinth like joy
Shasta Daisy white and yellow who could...

One of my grandsons, name of Benjamin
He likes eating toast made with cinnamon
But uses his wits
To not eat his grits
Then excuses himself like a gentleman

Charlie thrives on competition
Out smarting you is his mission
Bear hugs
Tiny bugs, 
And “stick to it” repitition

William’s impish smile is contagious
The attention...

And this is the way I feel just for you     
My dearest love all...

	WHEN WILL I HAVE YOU?	

	I ask
	oh, anything to get you to focus on us
	Think about 
	Talk about us
	but, the bait isn’t taken
	You must forget how much this love seeks 
	to validate
	to commeserate
	to...
