green eggs and ham.

Bustling about the anthill
In lines and arcs and freeform patterns,

Around is silence and quiet and calm.
From my lofty balcony, I can admire the serenity
Of the vast immensity of the ocean, all smell of balm.

Rough and Tumble was its name
It was a captured moment of freedom
A moment of nature at its peak.

Brothers

...Rough and tumble
Playing tricks and having fun
Picking on pig-tailed girls while
Tromping through the snow.

Puppy poop and muddy shoes
These are the tools of boyhood
Gone too quickly to be of mind

Lie two young, bosom friends.
They shared the joys and toils of life,
From childhood, down in Texas,
To this grassy knoll where their story ends.

With every day,
we plant a bit
gather a bit,
use a bit.

A Friend In Need

...A friend in a pinch is seldom a cinch
to be found in a world uncaring.
Some might offer aid, then want to be paid,
