Happy 100th Birthday - a Time To 'Re Joyce'Poetry
Aged eighty Joyce started to write
Her poems my senses ignite
Imagery so divine
I just wish it was mine
Great poetry brings such delight
Making Fudge
Joyce really loves making fresh fudge
I wonder if I give Joyce a nudge
She will send to me
Her fudge recipe
From my kitchen I would not...

Talking With JoyceThe frowning light of my desk lamp, the voice
of hell dissolved in strongest alcohol,
my drunk and naked shadow on the wall…
The printed wiki photo of James Joyce,
who died of stomach ulcer, shakes his head,
seeing I drink Laphroaig from the inkwell.
It is all right for...

Ballad
Joyce - Finnegan's WakeHow scenic is phrenetic fantasy
Which fulminates within the manic mind
Yet hides inside synaptic revelry,
Articulated, yes, but hard to find?
The minor absolution one demands
From higher born authority than self
Is often found in foreign sounding lands
Or back of boxes hiding...

A Toast To Joyce
Let’s hear those chimes
And raise a glass
A toast to Joyce
A cause for celebration
A tribute to a grand
Centennial milestone
One hundred candles on her cake
And not one less
One candle for every set of seasons
She’s ever savored
It’s her birthday
And what a special day it is
Imagine if...

There is this Lady I know, I thought I knew.
Could I have been so wrong, from my point of view ?
She perceives herself, a cardboard silhouette of a soul,
a papier mache doll, an image we all should know.
A shallow pond residing in the middle...

Coffee At Christmas With JoyceIt was at Christmas time that she invited me to her home
This wonderful Northwest lady that I feel I’ve always known
Her coffee pot was brewing as I entered her living room
To find her tree adorned with an angel who had died too soon

Respectfully, Joyce Kilmer...I think that I have never known
a tree as lovely as a poem.
A poem that in a single breath
infuses life, defying death
with words that move in stylish grace
and give emotion resting place.
A poem reflecting life and love
and faith, perhaps, in He above
who gave the world...

Between Reality and UnderstandingA thought arose...
In Hegel's great dialectic cotillion,
Time transcends as the Absolute emerges,
From deep submersion.
Veritably idealistic path to verity.
It is all about History!
While Schopenhauer's Will, By mere chance,
Drives life in concentric circles spinning,
But not winning
Human solicitations are insatiable.
A germ on the cogwheel of life,
Facing a suffering...
