Finding Clam For Sustenance

My feet touches the bottom land
As my feeling start to quiver damn
Scratching those toes on silty sand
In the hope I can find a clam.

Fortune pay a price in waiting
Inch by inch I'm starting to find
Boulders of clam in seabed setting
Excitement painting my mind.

Labor showing enthusiasm I confess
A hungry belly want to cook an obsess
All in

a clam cracked open

you want the commitment,
you want to be loved -
though, you need to know me,
in order for this to work out.

i need to be free,
to not clutch my wings,
do you understand me?
that's all that i need.

don't keep me updated,
don't share any words,
i'm easily bored,
that's all that i want.

shut up, keep it quiet.
don't say anything more.
i'm not

Protecting Ones Good Name

Protecting one's good name
Not a kid's easy card game.
Who does climbs towards fame,
Who squeezes it buys shame;
The picture not the same....

Better one an old dame,
Clinging to her good name
Than princess of just blame
In morals badly lame
One's good name is one's flame;
Really, the thing men claim. 
Thus, you must n't it maim;
Remain - not wild -

The Lord Is Near

The Lord is on our side; once again He’ll stem the tide.
Enemy onslaught will subside.  The Lord is on our side.

Our God is here; we’ll survive.  Are you swallowed up alive? 
Have you foes who stalk? connive?  Our God is here; we’ll survive. 

     God saved Noah on

Torch Lake Iii - Fishing For Time

Our boat is first to slice
The green snake skin of Clam Lake
This Saturday morning in May

Heading east to the mouth of Grass River
Where angry Pike still hunt from shallows
Before the Milfoil grows to summer impossible

My son at the wheel
His long hair a wake of curls behind his engine grin

Fishing poles battering the back of the

Quintuple Clam

here she is spoke out 
doubt settling inside

here she is sharing
caring what they think

here she is waiting
rating the slow time

here she is again
penned in a type font

here she is alone
phone ringer shut off

here she is, a clam
damn, there she goes, gone

What's all this about, why are we here
Time's much too short till we all disappear
We're having so much fun
Many challenges to be won
We're happy as clams, year after year

ocean wave retreats
water spurts erupt behind
clams beneath the sand

The Clam Sham Debachcall

reference to the song
the person depicted
is quite vain,
she worsens when she's
needed to be best
that what is shared is to
be known to the world
listen the strings sound like
crickets....nearer and nearer
they come closer
ranging in pitch, there sounds
arranged to distort the true happenings.
Is he that lovest, the only one in
the woman's life, or is she
 deceitful and uncaring

Be a Seasheel Or a Clam

Be a Seashell or a Clam
I sit here at this ocean's edge watching boats sail on by
Sun begins its fade another October sky
Water tranquil, oh so calm, the nightcaps settle in
This sky reflects a gilded red awaiting another day to end

I feel safe and find comfort in the ocean's shimmering surface
It's where I find my

The Clam

There once was a clam
In a shell on a beach
By a rock under sand
At low tide out of reach

Till a boy with a hat
And a pail and a rake
Moved the rock and the sand
And the clam he did take

Said the mom of the clam
“I could not be prouder,
Good luck little clam
You’ll make a fine chowder!"
