       CLOSING TIME AT THE PUB


The joy, the camaraderie, the smoke.
The great ale, my great friends in Chicago.
Old Town, North Avenue, twas Chicago,1967.
O' Rourke's Pub, where else?
Smoky, filled with excellent, lively,repartage 
and boisterous, glorious laughter.

Great friends like Roger Ebert,...

It’s been many years since I’d climbed the wooden steps to my parent’s attic. The hinges of the trap door creak and a cloud of dust rises as I push the door open. I fumble for the light switch; it takes several minutes for the...

It’s true!  I heard it myself! 
No academic learning tomorrow! 
The roads are too icy, 
and travel is dicey

During last night’s weather report came the warning.
There would be heavy snowfall in the morning.
Radio and television are turned on throughout the town.
The reason is that the snow is falling down.
Yes, the seasonal precipitation is causing a fuss.
We do not know if we should wait...

I adore sweets and that's just pathetic
cos' for ten years I've been diabetic.
When that pie rolls around 
or the muffins are crowned
my desire for them grows quite kinetic.

There are wrappers hidden under the bed
and there's leftover banana bread.
Every year I vow
to stop eating somehow.
If I...

I see the buzzing of a bumble bee,
    and hear the hummingbird’s sweet tune-
        I know summer is closing for the year,
            as watch...

He knew what he had to do and his whole family was on board
He had to gather an entire zoo in so abiding with God's accord
Such a large boat would it be in having many sons as his hands
And then those who don't agree standing...

The fall begins
a time of day
that twilight time
sublime
with lavender hues.
The curtain collects
thoughts of a day.
Sky darkens gray,
slowly
ever slowly closing,
and the darkness 
becomes a pitch
of navy blue
with an intense hue
close to a blackness
before a twinkling appears
and this fall of the day
is complete.

Time no longer exist between you and me
Space is something that locks a door between
will and what will be
Dreams are just illusions I let myself pretend
Memories are the facts I establish
to make my court room stand
Pain is my witness that will not be denied
Love is...

A lot of malls are closing
(As I found out in the news)
‘Cause empty stores must equal
A decline in revenues.

For many folks despise the trip – 
The traffic, parking, gas – 
Especially when Amazon
Has bargains that surpass.

With just one click, your every wish
Comes true at your...

your
mine
always
in my heart,
though it is broken
will remain so until I die,
we were very happy together so much in love,
until tragedy struck, and you were taken from my side, you are forever at peace.
I walk this life alone, memories a plenty stored in my mind, I...

several formica red tables
glass shakers of pepper and salt
big plastic tomatoes I wanted to squeeze
and shaped bottles of sarson’s own malt.

netting on all of the windows
scratch marks from chairs on the floor
ashtrays with notches to rest cigarettes
and 'open' and 'closed' on the door.

menus upright in...
