The Inuit call the Narwhal the one that points to the sky,
            Because of their unique way of aiming their tusk upward;

I have many happy dreams of my childhood life,
      Mother and father and grandma made it special;
Playing make-believe was something I really loved,
            I  could do that for...

Remembering days of young- long ago 
Adventurous me, I yearned for playtime 
Playing with my siblings on mounds of snow 
To the peaks of high mountains I would climb 

'Neath fallen oaks rotted stumps, I have hid 
I used to be so sly and so...

FACE REALITY - YES BUT

What is this world we see with eyes full closed?
As ‘real’, unless we mean by others shared
‘Untrue’, you say; ‘with my hand, cannot be disposed’
Yet my own ceiling clear, each detail bared

Patterned like the complex edge of Hudson Bay
Sea and ice...

      Proud and bold, courageous and beautiful and powerful;
Above in an azure sky, fluffy white clouds are drifting by,
           His...

6 miles up river Arikara are encountered,
they are a people of amenable disposition and are agrarians,
they chuckle with sympathy as we inform them of our grizzly confrontation
and they tell us that disease had forced them to abandon the village down river last year,
many of their...

New York's the talk of the town.
New York, New York.
When you're passing through, 
you get a scenic veiw.
Of the Statue Of Liberty.
New York's celebrity host.
They're the talk of the town.
Manhattan's day, a queens souffle.
A trip through Long Island.
Hudson Bay along the way.
New York, New York.
If...

I see you every day
near the Hudson Bay.
Your body is like wine
but, your mine.
I know other men tried to win you over-
they all failed-
because you are meant for me.
Your name is like a lost French folk song,
or New York City in the rain
I seek no...

A vibrant, wild woman took center stage at every family wedding or party
Long, flowing locks even in old age, she always embarrassed her brother Artie

Once statuesque at nearly six feet tall, Eva was a sight to behold at buffets
Plate upon plate, she piled food so...

transformation

pollywogs paddle
about her five year old toes
frogs in the making

summer kissed her cheek
awesome faces peer from leaves
freckles blooming now

at the waters edge
bullfrogs baroom a  mating call
dusk whispers secrets

pie shop sells lemon
apple and boysenberry
poison berry to us

blankets on cool nights
hudson bay soft wooly warm
loons serenade...

Always young as you can be
Tender loving lasses and lads,
Enjoying life fully, carefree
While letting no problems trespass.

This era of yours will never come back
So be yourself, not let others lead,
Hang out, dress up and go out in a pack
What others may say you need not...

What a delight to realize, 
While on my way to Leningrad, 
You've given me my first 'White Night' -
A day stretched out before my eyes, 
A night that won't exist for me, 
As 'out of time' as love can be.

The clouds that stretch out without...

Oh what a thrill
sliding downhill
an icy peak
then go back up
for a repeat
just for the fun
of it!
Beat my brother
at a wrestling match
then cuddle up
for mother’s milk
buttery fat
sweet.
It’s spring!
Mom is hunting
seals for meals
patiently waiting
by the hole
ring
till a head pops up
to breathe
then down goes mom
with lightning speed
to snatch...
