ANIMAL COURT

I relate this story from my room in the Quiet Vale Giggling Academy

A reader might find my story hard to believe
BUT!
At one time in my life –
As a matter of fact quite recently –
I had just finished Dr. Doolittle’s great study
‘Talk to the Animals”
And after several months of following Doolittle’s observations
Found I could actually

THE ABSENT YEARS

life becomes so sweet
so precious life to the eye
life in all its forms –
the rock strewn stream bubbles life
even those worn-round pebbles

a silver fish drowned
soaked to death in my shower
strange how sad i felt
after watching it struggle
after offering nothing

like mixed emotions
when i tangle spider’s web
the tiny worker
tiny artist full of life
and i so

An Eulogy of Sorts, That, Hopefully, Lends Itself To Daver

Do not vainly look in those remote
Places,
That, once, were acquainted with a 
Small part of me;                          
Here I roamed beneath congestion's
Of tumultuous cloud;

A fterward, he headed east and learned to write a poem!

E njoying his years in many a symphony.
R etired, now in Michigan, he thrives on poetry.

A mong the many poets here, Dave’s one of a kind.

Inspirational Melodies

So much running through her head
But nearby church bells ring out
Hymns so familiar cast new thoughts
Sanity restored, no longer in doubt

She picks up a small pad and pen
Looks to heaven for inspiration
Senses insight sent

Daver You My Dear Have Been Tagged!

Great day in the morning
All poets take warning
Cause this man is hoot hollerin' fun
He says he's a senior
But by his demeanor
His youthful spirit will not be out done

So Daver it's true
We can learn much from you
For life doesn't end as we age
So youth watch out
When Davers about
His pizzazz will take center stage

Ambitions (For Stacey and Daver)

I want to fold these words over
and line them up in rows.
I want them to ring and sing
and leave echoes in your ears.
I want to squeeze a syllable
and distill a dream
to lie upon your souls.
I want to plant these lines on your fertile beings
for I know you gentle gardeners will grow them
and happily rest beneath
