Best Buy In Poems
Becker ParkYour kids are here in Becker Park
as the sun is going down,
with cash stuffed in their pockets,
the candy man's in town.
There are drugs to buy in Becker Park,
a pill for every need.
There's coke and crank for connoisseurs,
and always lots of weed.
He sells dreams in Becker...

Christmas Come EarlyCall me ludicrous 'cause
I know it’s outrageously early but
I’m aching to put up my Christmas tree
It’s crazy but no surprise
I could use a little cheer
I want to buy in to the illusion
That everything is wonderful
That everything will be alright
That Santa will take care of...

Sea GlassAt night it captures the moon.
Like a werewolf coming out of a cocoon.
If we are quiet.
We can hear it split.
Into pieces, sharper than before.
It’s not something you can buy in a store.
It’s a treasure that just appears.
Sparkling against our fears.
We fear a cut on our...

A Woman's HeartWith women the heart argues, not the mind.
MATTHEW ARNOLD, Merope
1. The stand of old growth Melalucas, graces the lowlands of our farm.
For over fifty years, accumulations of leaves have formed small soft islands.
“With selective clearing,” my husband says, "larger areas of grassland will...

A Time To "sew"/ a Time To ReapThe time was 1969, the place- Home-Economics class in junior high. While guys got sent
to “shop,” those of us of the softer sex learned culinary skills. I loved those days when the
room was filled with the sounds of our chatting, laughing and clanging...

China Travelogue 2Journey starts
Kunming portraits;
Highway song
Here old and new
Merge yet apart;
Vignettes juxtapose
China welcomes
Both ancient and modern;
Sign of the times
Tour group confronts
Unfamiliar grounds;
Rough edges grind
Quaint ways of old
Ancient tales displaced;
Modern day norms intervene
Spectacular vistas
Natural wonders;
Man seems insignificant
Flood tide drowns
Flushing away;
False assumptions destroyed
Gust of wind
Reveals new passages;
Knowing does not...

With Apologies To Joyce Kilmer?I thought that I would never see
Another macho man like me.
Ex-green Beret and Airborne Ranger,
Who never shirked in face of danger.
But that ancient myth was soon dissolved,
When my wife asked me to get involved,
And accompany her, one fine day,
In search for her new negligee.
Now stout...

A Cowboy PoemI was riding on the range
And I was feeling pretty good.
All the cattle were behaving;
They were running like they
should.
The sun was just a-setting
In a blaze of orange and red.
And my dog was acting frisky
Like a pup that’s been well...

Goals and ExpectationsMay not have the nicest stuff
You could buy in any store
Won't be winning any prize for beauty
Or complete in the Olympic Games
Not always able to take the right path
Debts financial and moral piling high
Every day I wish to count a blessing
Real happiness is not found...

To Do List For An Egg- With Haiku MiddleSalt it
Pepper it with kisses
Assault it (but only when bad)
Throw it at an awful actor
Throw it away if it talks back
Believe in it like God and country
Pray to it for peace
Beat it.....Fry it.....Please it...Ease it into a pan
Speak to it in English (on a dish)
