Willows In The Wind
We went for a walk, one windy day,
through the woods, and along the way,
she said to me, "If you please,
let's sit a while, it would make me smile,
beneath these shady willow trees."
Yet, as just then, a gale-like gust blew by,
in apprehension, I asked her, "Why?"
And with a flirt, a lift of skirt,
the lady promptly

Dark Steel Day
Skies of gray
Skies of gloom
Storm clouds say
Bringing doom
Dark steel day
Blustering winds
Turmoil cloud
Sleeting sends
Hail stones loud
Dark steel day
Storm surrounds
Gale force wind
Beating down
Without end
Dark steel day
Icy air
Breath of steam
No despair
Just winter’s dream
Dark steel day
Storms they rise
Then they go
No surprise
If you know
Dark steel day
Dark steel days ahead and behind
Dark steel days on my mind
Dark steel days good and

Gale Warning
Winds begin to howl,
Ocean's breath a churning threat,
Boats seek sheltered bays.

Her Gale
The ocean whispers in her gale,
Calling me to her gentle caress,
Blowing wind in my sails,
Washing away my pain and stress.
She speaks softly in my ear,
Of adventure and peace,
Her words remove my fear,
Her tides bring me release.

The Wind
Whisperer of the ancient tales,
Breath of the Earth that gales.
Daylight's gentle breeze,
And dark night's howling trees.
Bearer of seeds and carrier of scents,
Sculptor of dunes and herald of storms.
Invisible traveller and caressing lover,
Tender murmurer and refreshing cooler.
The wind, an unseen wanderer,
A blind, playful squanderer.
It sweeps the Earth with gentle fingers,
In every nook, its demeanor lingers.

Where The Gale Force Rips
When the storms come raging, a Tug Of War of Winds
Pressed into the Abyss with a Broken Ship,
Against the Tide where The Gale Force Rips
Mapless you sail Adrift,
Tossed about by the Currents Of Life
And Still, The Thunder Rumbles In Spite
When Clouds turn Black as Sackcloth, So Far from

A Sausage Tale - Not In a Gale
Three cocktail sausages jumped out of a tin
Off they went in a Ferrari for a spin
The weather was perfect, the ride a breeze
Everything was going well, until one sausage began to sneeze
Sweat dripped down the sausage's skin
It fell out of the racing car and wished it were back in the tin
The big wheels of a

Gone With Gale
Snowy week whitening the slalom slope
Keenly waited for the sleek ski to grope
Inspired by maddening sense of sliding speed
I raced, found my frosted feet suddenly freed
Nailed in snow they couldn’t track the ski’s trail
Gone soaring with the glacial gale into the dale.

Candles, Me And Your Gale
On the first day of Christmas
I litted a red candle for one
On the second day...
A white candle for him
On the third day...
A pink candle for her
In the succeeding days
I litted a candle for souls of

Ocean In An Autumn Gale
The ocean rolled with white caps
Rising and falling in scattered
Wind blown sprays,
Waves breaking viciously
Upon shoreline rocks,
Jutting wharves,
Tied up little fisher boats.
Sea gulls overhead, as if angry
At the ferocity of today’s ocean
Whipped up by this autumn gale,
Shrieked in flight
As thunders roared
And
I enjoyed it all.

A Conversation With Dorothy Gale
"So Dorothy, your visit here is now in Oz folklore."
"You mean to say," said she, "I'm not in Kansas anymore?"
"Oh dear, I thought you knew that fact; the Munchkins made it clear."
"I joke," she said, "I play it dumb as part of my veneer."
"Haha, quite droll, now tell us about your murder trial?"
"The witch?" She

A Wrong Picture of Failure
To fail is to hit the bottom scale,
Demonstrably show you could derail,
To shamelessly lose your trail
And go ahead to simply wail
And at cheating sky rail
Like one refused a bail:
To tears receive, even tears hail,
Keeping a face awfully pale,
No correspondence no mail;
Your image for helpless sale…
For the failed Male, no female
From the female bared a male…
