Best Dolomite Poems
The Winter WarsWinter is a deadly companion to those of us
who stay behind. Spring is not guaranteed, only
a lonesome song, frozen on the lips of my
fellow crusaders.
The tip of the spear belongs to the "Ice Warrior"
Camouflaged under a dusting of snow, ink black
like the night or mind...

Italian Road Trip
My wife and I share a passion for travelling, the world we love to see
We travelled through France and Switzerland and we're now in Italy
Day one was a trip in a cable car to the summit of Mount Baldo
The views from the top were...

Roll the Dice7/30/16
Streetlights
Not turning on until the night
I am wrong not always right
During the day and night
Just trying to live my life
Below satellites
I'm going to roll the dice
More than once or twice
Making sure my family is alright
And helping them through any strife
As I work with a bigger...

Daylight and Overnight1/30/17
Shrike, planes, kites and satellites
In flight
Above pike, mice, parasites
And all other types of life
Atop the highest heights
Down in the deepest depths out of sight
Thinking twice
Just might
Suffice
For doing it right
During a life
Rife
With strife
Rituals and rites
Some of which include a sacrifice
I don't care about the hype
Or what...

Dreamtime: 29 FathomsI landed on the bottom of the deepest lake on earth
My will to live had escaped me
Eyes wide shut, tho my spirit remained
Confused in death, much as in life
Green specs of membrous memories floated under my eyelids
Happy thoughts- skipping flat, smooth, dolomite discs
Into Lake Superior,...

To move these dolomite stones didn't seem possible
Maybe it was magic
Seemed problematic
Though many workers perished, most probable...

Gemstone Centralamethyst, amber, agate, aquamarine
barite, bauxite, beryl, soon seen
carnelian, chryophrase, cool citrine
diamond, dolomite, delivered by Dean
Emerald, epidite, elusive by far
Flourite flowing next to Feldspar,
Gemstone hit parade, setting the bar
Hematite holds us hostage, said Mar.
Isis calcite showing up imperial jade,
Jasper enters the fray with his own maid.

PALEO PAIRPALEO PAIR
Hands rapturously
slashing satori
Bang !
Light released filter down
bats brushed skin to
fly knowingly low
then water gushed
through cracks
snakes spiders scorpions
were our toes
stones spoke in bugle
sound as Sun set in
whirlwinds
the cave was nowhere
yet everywhere
Beethoven’s symphonies
were shadows
future written on our
vacant palms
but to prior walk with...
