Fresh PerspectivesI was a learned college professor, who was forever eager to know more,
As blue-gray waves, finding sandy beaches, turn to seek another shore.
I drove to work smiling, in those tangerine days, so glad for avid youths,
Like when dusky stars waltz out dreamy, winking to show...

Let me pluck ripened apples and strawberries for your delight
And put my hand under your head to soften the ground on which we lie tonight.
You are the white marguerites in my meadow flowing with deep grass,

The Flowers Welcome the QueenTHE FLOWERS WELCOME THE QUEEN
Spring returns to my garden and the Golden Queen
Once again warms everything she touches.
A little girl comes barefoot into my empty garden one day.
Her hair...

Over the flower carpet

Two Kids RememberingTWO KIDS REMEMBERING
There we were
Next to the railtracks in the middle of the industrial heartland of 1950s Tyneside
Martin and me
Summer’s day and no money and no place to go except the drab streets and projects
Just exploring carelessly
Among the factories,...

Silence Is GoldenBright Marguerites,open and ablaze,
Reflected in a sunny haze.
Lilies waxed in a summer light,
A Jasmined fragrance to fill the night.
Perfumed petals,paper-white
Intoxicate,then delight;
Speaking volumes with words un-heard
Silent,flowers upon which all senses merge....

The Colors of EveningTHE COLORS OF EVENING
Playing canasta with family and a shiny new deck of cards,
Kings, queens, the beautiful blackness of the spades.
While outside, through the window, everywhere
Snow is falling in an uninterrupted blanket over the evening
And the land is silenced.
Near the window my daughter’s...

Maguerite's CharmsMARGUERITE’S CHARMS
Rainy day finally gave way to intermittent sun -
Walked out with camera before rain should return,
And fell in love, mesmerized, helpless, captivated.
Stopped at garden with waist-high iron railings, riveted,
And its flowers stunned me. Never knew you could get
So many blooms...

The GardenerTHE GARDENER
Captain Viktor Stogov?
Oh he’s gone now
Cancer took him
A cigarette killed him
Where ten years of
Enemy tanks could not
His flowers blow in the spring breeze
Tulips daffodils and marguerites
They come back every spring
- so he’s not really gone ...

Daughter's School ReportDAUGHTER’S SCHOOL REPORT
She comes to me
In the morning of her youth
And tells all about her school day,
Her smile as fresh as
Young marguerites trembling in the breeze
In an Alpine meadow
With their white fingers fluttering
And green stems
Bending in unison....

MessengersMESSENGERS
Serene leisurely flight of dandelion weightless
Seed puff balls, thoughts ascending
Across the void measureless
Between the marguerites and the hedging.
Untroubled, they silently float, glide,
Delivering the seed of an idea
On the air’s measureless tide
From somewhere else to here....

How It All BeganFalling In Love
It all started in a very simple way
as she walked down the path and drank in
the lilies bowing their heads to the river north
and the birds chirping their love song to the
