A Coastal City's Charm- Moonlit GenSanBeneath the moon's soft glow, a city thrives,
Where ocean waves caress the sandy shore.
In bustling markets, fresh-caught tuna lives,
A testament to fishers' ancient lore.
The beauty of nature surrounds us here,
From rolling hills to palm trees swaying free.
GenSan's spirit, both vibrant and sincere,
Reflects the splendor of land, sky, and sea.

Follow the flow of the TeesFollow the flow of the Tees
Meet the folk whose sweat
and tears shaped the land,
brought in the bounty,
shifted the steel to build
Better places.
Follow the flow of the Tees.
Meet the people who fish
in peace. Look for a seal or two.
See them bobbing, watching you
watching them. Observe them catching the
rays of the sun on the...

A Fishy TaleI spoke to the sea,
a calm breath
though a gale raged
inside of me – both my
sails shredded, I begged
for mercy:
“Thou art the greatest world current,
what brag would be a wretched notch
like me!? Devourer of coasts!
Reshaper of vast continents! Bane
of man’s mightiest fleets! Countless
formidable have foolishly challenged thee, and now
lie silent in your crushing...

Young on a Dirt RoadBlack top was miles and miles away
Dirt road as far as you could see
The future just a minute away
Was everything you wanted it to be
Taking our time but not slowing down
Heads in the clouds, bare feet on the ground
Up with the sun, chasing the moon around
Dirt road living with a real country sound
The black top...

Gone Fishing
Despairing seafaring..can be
Lore of days of yore
Glories or gory
Bold stories told
Foreshore folklore
Hemingway’s…Old
Man and the Sea
Smiles..feeling chipper
Like a wee nipper
Reeling in a ripper
Serious delirious skipper
No not a wee kipper
More like stealing Flipper (ah remember Flipper)
Sort of caught
Trials snort beguiles
Rather overwrought
Wiles & guile..fraught
Palaver..how they fought
All went iffy in a jiffy
This grouper.. a storm trooper
All...

A Fish Tale
A fish popped out of the lake
from his scales the water he done shaked
looked at me, curiously, wondering, “Is he awake?”
Well, I was still as a...

An Osprey CirclesAn osprey circles
Hoping I will find a fish for him
A beaver slaps its tail
Yodels to its young
Turtles lounge in the sun
As Swans and Geese negotiate
A doe and fawn cautiously
Observe my passing
A blue Heron appears
Undisturbed by my presence
Soft breezes tickle the lily pads
As the Dragonflies dance

What was I sayingI don't want to imply that it was bad.
but what I've seen is drenched in black.
And I don't want to feel this way for you.
So scrape me out of you,
and I'll lead you out of me.
I don't want to live this way for you.
Only time will tell how this will end
there's to many scars...

sun peeping above the horizon
many times, we caught no fish

Gone Fishin’He loved to cast a line and lay
crab pots off the rocks down the bay.
I would tag along for the ride
and hope Tangaroa bless the tide
givin’ up its catch of the day
So the fish whisperer did call

The Mind of TimeMinds meet mind minds to talk of what is pure and divine
But they too are caught in to the web and reveal some things
That should not be said, they have travelled a thousand miles
To mend the broken lines changes were coming soon so they
All gather at the table to test the minds to see...
