To the Class of 97 At Cambridge High School
The fun we had,formulated individualism
We had lots of those
The focus we had,formulated maturity
We achieved it
What a unique class
The endless laughter
Lead to the enjoyment of the year
The naughtiness
Lead to the togetherness
A class to be remembered

Walking In Cambridge
A rainy August day in Massachusetts
Down in Somerville weather is cool
On a wet Sunday afternoon
See me skipping puddles pass Sanders theatre
Shoes swimming in blues
From Kirkland Street to Harvard Square I go
Watch a beautiful Bostonian show, now you know
I take the Red line train to Davis Square
See YOU there
At Burren an Irish band

Cambridge Time

how do I feel
these memories so strong
still remembering
that punt to Grantchester
my falling into the Cam
the High tea in the orchard

A Cambridge Lamentation
This place is always a little lonely
At the weekends...no noise and life,
I like solitude,
But not in places
Where's there's recently been
A lot of people.
Reclusiveness protects you
From nostalgia,
And you can be as nostalgic
In relation to what happened
Half an hour ago
As half a century ago, in fact more

The Volunteer, a Poem Inspired By Hrh Prince George of Cambridge
'We have a future king to make,'
Said the deep, resounding voice.
'But it is not a proper fit for everyone.
For a king must know first how to obey than to command,
And to abide rather than reign.'
'And thus, I need a volunteer.'
The eager little voices swiftly gathered ‘round.
'To have a throne and my own crown,' said a

The Gnomes On the Lawn At Cambridge Arms
Life's passions all absorbed on green grasses
as the innocent treasures tamed and measured
accordingly we shy away the aftermath of past
stoned bridges enhance the connection point
while the cold calmness unwind the myths
for our must we define a place hidden where as
the teak wood stained with old disagreements
left unsaid and so morbidly left

Cambridge Square
Ah wondering soul you are, by
far so aloof, and unjoined.
From a distance, I find you a
mystery inside a mystery.
Unsure you are of roads you
have ran down, and found
too many that have lost
their way..
Ah wanderer, never give up
the good fight, stay clear
of mind, you will see, and
have all that is wonderous unfold
for you.
