The shuttlecock's not got a feather
my balls have lost their tether
yo-yo and hula hoop have gone for a loop
chasing rainbow's become a boring chore
in any kind of weather
and me I fli...

...My dorm room was bright this morning. It was disorienting.
The sky outside was a cloudless, striking neon blue.
The air was so crisp and clean, I could hardly feel it going in and out.
It all spar...

Dunstable Downs
...A hillside of walkers gathering slow
blend with the gold medal fields all aglow.
Kites finding freedom, flutter and flow
as looping Red Kites begin to swoop low.
Families with picnics bask in t...

When Summer is Gone
...I intend to enjoy summer
and the sun, warming my ancient skin.
Once, I said goodbye to summer
because one season must yield to the next,
and it was time to attend school and learn.
I said goodby...

When Summer is Gone
...At the beach.
Wasps and frisbees zigzag.
Around us, but sometimes we get hit.
Winter.
We will barely be able to leave our homes.
There’s only hot chocolate to keep us warm and happy.
But even t...

summertime
...Sunsets of a thousand colors,
jumping into crystal blue waters,
yeah, baby - school's out for summer.
At first, it’s a shock - ignoring the clock,
we’re like prisoners set free
- for a two-mon...

Pointless Fear
...It seems to be in my domain
To be scared on everything
Like pain
Frisbees
People with frizzy hair
That seem not to care
Made up words
Like zurd
jurd
And vurd
Or common names
Like sophia

Midwinter Night's Dream
...Midst sullen storm and winter's grip,
Secure and warm I toddies sip.
By fireside glow my thoughts take wing.
While watching snow, I dream of spring.
Spring's swimming pools, azalea shrubs,

For My Father
...When I think of my father my heart
starts beating in time with his 7 A.M.
footsteps on hardwood floors.
His image rests in the second chamber
of my heart. If I could shrink you
down and put y...

Wharfing the Dawn
...Salt water taffy orchestrated,
pouring grain and sweating.
Spinning my silhouette,
as the dog failed his frisbees.
It doesn' let the sun’s rays wash over me,
replicate large wooden planks,

Breezes and Sneezes
...Freedom flings out the summer breezes
In a park where allergens make sneezes.
Men gather to toss their plastic frisbees,
Taking off from work for sick day freebies.

What Kids Did
...Compared with us, the kids today
Too little play and too much weigh.
Alone indoors they snack and sit
And buttons hit, while we stayed fit.
We'd quickly chores and homework do,
Then dash th...
