A Dreamy Night
...Black onyx night, of the pearlescent moon,
diamond dew kissed, musk rose red.
Deep purple and white passion!
Phantoms dance in lilac dreams;
around the corner of blooms,
with memories of...

My Brother, John
...My brother, John, was older than me; and I had ever looked up to him,
As a golden sun seems always with you, but comes and goes at whim.
My brother, John, taught me to roller skate, and h...

in countless arresting shades

Me and He
...We would go ghost hunting
in old empty houses,
me and my mate Terry.
13 -year-olds, armed only
with a flashlight
and radio-active acne.
We fed
on each other’s frights
imagined the dead ar...

Four Seasons
...Wintry white weather whirling westward,
whooshing wildly when winds wrestle.
Snowflakes swirling starting snowy stacks.
Spring showers sprout saplings
some scattering so softly.
Florist fashio...

The Knitted Kitten
...In a little country village
in a cottage near a farm,
was a curious little kitten
that was knitted out of yarn.
In a rainbow’s worth of colours
from its tail of strawberry red,
to the blue an...

The Proverbial Small Town
...After winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.
The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charmin...

Flowering
...My thumb’s not any shade of green
Yet on my windowsill
Are varied plants in flowerpots,
So water them, I will.
Most stay the same; they grow a bit
But really do not thrive,
Although I’m happy...

...Dandelions and daffodils
Baby's Breath and violets, mix
In flowerpots on window sills
A sparrows nest built broken sticks
Cracked open shells, first flights from chicks
Testing their wi...

Griselda's Revenge

the bane of our small bungalow
she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene
the worst that you ever could know!
Her garden mate, Gregor, had feared her

Made In Germany
...In a local hardware store,
An old one – not a chain –
I found just what I needed,
Though I thought I’d search in vain.
Some saucers for my flowerpots
So water wouldn’t drip.
I’d recently tra...

Sound Off
...We wear are days on our skin
Truth seeking pilgrims in the land of the grim
So long ago the winds rustle in,
Lost cities filled with neighborhood friends
We wake up to a day we try and defend

Peace Like a River
...Water of the sublime dusk
Slow moving, decorated in color
A idea by the sea
Moonlight shines on jasmine blossoms
Waves and wind making ripples,
crickets begin to sound
Where do streams flow? ...

Hungry Thief
...For the first time ever,
a Cardinal's nest lay cleverly hidden
in a juncture of two branches
of the red rose climber
on the south wall of our garage.
Over the years, we'd watched with pleasure...
