Dot To Dot
...While gazing at the stars my girlfriend said, “I love you, Billy,
The heavens are ablaze for us, does that sound kinda silly?”
I smiled and said, “No it does not,
It’s like a stellar dot-t...

Come On Down To Inclusive Town
...Come on down to Inclusive Town
We will throw you in by your knee or chin
Come on my friend, and you all are

You are al...

fire-wires moonlight dervish in a bold splash
clouds of glitter coat my sweetheart’s gleam
as solar powered pulse rates cut a dash
welder’s arc vapours ri...

virgin coasts to explore
canoes loaded with easels

from sea to shining sea
rock islands scattered
nature self regenerates
untouched and pr...

Unfinished Portraits
...The church is a hospital for sinners
And not a hospice for saints
As we are all unfinished portraits
That God must continuously paint
As none of us are perfectly complete

...Climate change,
like most,
if not all,
unwelcome change,
too often violent and deranged
and hopelessly redundant,

What they were are a bunch of weasels,
Who paint much and love their easels;

In a meadow lush with rain drops and dew
Two canvases stand on easels of wood
Two brushes painting a landscape in hues
The sun shining on nature’s ethereal beauty
They shared...

lurking in gallery tints

their heads bobbed behind their easels back and forth
as holding an apple I stand.
Stark naked and still like a statue
I pose ...

Along easels of meadow's keep.
Winter's arctic days now long gone,
That morn's fair promise trails upon
Breezes sweet , once an icy blast,
Engrave a kiss...
