on the Kilimanjaro,
on the Himalayas,

you please,
my desperation 
will surely

One poignant voice the cowboy sings,
Notes mellow time as space concedes.
Grace song with poise dear maestro fling,
Lobby fond rhymes as music feeds;
Encore and more such guitar strings,
Now age has come to give you rest;
Charm ever spores the songs you sing,
Alzheimer sums a sad protest;
Muse of...

Jane began playing table tennis in the year 2000,
And shortly after that she participated in a course, 
Held at her work which started with goal-setting,

Our province's premier resigned yesterday
After his liberal government had their way.
Making deals with Ottawa behind our backs
Then wondering why his integrity we attack.

No honest answer came , just vagueness appears.

Apply brave mode to live your...

And if new song I...

He deserves a plaque
He so wanted a music school
but could not prevail
He was broken
by the dark side of the hill
He was at times self deprecating
forecasting his lack of success
always putting others first
because he thought it was his duty
He wrote an epitaph to Elisa Cope
and thanked...

Hitchhiking Angel,
twelve stringed harp,
wandering spirit

With distance in his voice,
he traveled on the wind

Guitar case for a saddle,
to ride each beckoning whim

A folk tale left untethered,
his melody to claim

Each song an affirmation
—his legend to refrain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)...

Do you remember those Campbell soup ads where the children looked like
cherubs, even when their bad?
Their angelic faces slurping "mm mm good". Mom's ran off to buy some. every body should.
I just met a woman with a Campbell soup face. No matter what she says...
