Hockey Poems

What good memories living with our parents and grandparents Dr.Wolf and Dr.Erika,
My sons Kirk and Erik and my younger sister Antje and I all lived together in the beautiful house.

My sons signed up for soccer, my  oldest son Kirk...Read More

Bye mom ?? 
I’m going to the park on My bike 
Ive got my  pack, Its on my back 
Don’t worry...I’ll see you tonight! 
She’s watching him through the window
 It’s cracked open just a little 
She yells out...Read More

Smiling recollections,
summer evening reflections, now
almost gone for new generations
while my venues of childhood musings
and adolescent anticipations
...near extinction.
I must concede my willingness to share
what they will never recall
     - the exhilaration 
when Dad would pronounce,
"We're going to...Read More

Small city arena long out of date,
that is where this B-league team plays their games,
young men learning, hopes for fortune and fame.
I watch the practice, they shoot and they skate,
remember back when I was at that weight…
Here at least the...Read More

The expensive sport
Is the hockey game
Big kids and small
Play at the arena

Many sports fans watch
The hockey games 
Hockey is expensive
Uniforms cost money

The hockey sticks and pucks
Together these items add up
Ice skates are needed
These are special skates

To purchase the skates
Its a...Read More

Socked and winded unconscious checking account...
(alternatively named last poetic endeavor for 2019
issuing out cerebral petrified complex edifice fount
wobbling as hood winking ornament mount).

Speedily rushed to intensive care unit
courtesy Brinks armored  truck
Citizens Bank emergency crew
monied staff got no luck
after electronic...Read More

O, Canada we sing, standing tall with pride as one,

for our land of natural beauty, mountains, trees and lakes;

we are a peaceful country of many races and religions, 

we are all immigrants as our ancestors came by boat from across...Read More

I honor the day of Canada’s birth
on July 1, 1867, a nation rooted in democracy
began to grow and flourish
irrigated by its people’s sweat, blood, and tears.
I’m lucky to have inherited that Canadian culture
rich with tradition and diversity.
For liberty’s an unequivocal...Read More

In time we find light that was not so much a remembrance of character void, 

or a psalm of the heterogeneous unlimited focus-
or stance of staving off the news.

In the leeway there is no set mountain, or even the scuttled...Read More

I was born in the hearth of the snowbelt
knee deep winters-pond hockey 
a long driveway with a small coal shovel
pegging cars with snow balls
long slogs to school
slow brained learner
like an icy march river
-praying so hard for snow days

We have the right of living, 
and to speak, to stand in line and ryhme.
we all have what we believe in
about creatures, nature and time.

trees and plants grow in is season, 
river, mountain, stars and moon show us the sign.
we...Read More

A man who thought he would fly,
got too close to the sun,
set the ancient example
that’s told to everyone.

A ship that they claimed never
would sink beneath the waves,
until a looming iceberg
sent folks to frozen graves.

A man who thought his troopers
could whip...Read More

Now that your birthday is here,
We hold you very dear.

The years of growing up,
Beautiful and sacred.

Your excellent  father and mother,
Nice that you have a little brother.

Gymnastics your favorite sport,
Along with hockey.

Congratulations on your championships,
Grandma is very proud of you...Read More

We used to go swimming with our parents and children at the Fitness Institute,
The facilities were enhanced, we had showers and a make-up room.

There was a swimming pool and a tennis court, 
After  your swim, you could sun yourself...Read More

     If I believed in re-incarnation,
     my dream would be to return
     on the gleaming ice!
     Watching the great Zamboni with

The Saint John River rolls along 
Under skies of baby blue, 
Touching lives of country folk 
Just the way it used to do 
Before the war to better times, 
When steamboats churned and church bells chimed. 

The Continental whistle blew...Read More

This soul rises in wings today,
Watching live from Ottawa~
The 22nd Annual National March
for Life.
Your National Anthem so lovely,
Your land, so blessed and beautiful.
Since 1969, four million babies
never got a chance to be a poet or
be one of your outstanding hockey
players.

This...Read More

Lecherous Luther was wont to grope
He ceased to function at the end of a rope!

Here lies Cletus as stiff as a board
He slipped on the ice and busted his gourd!

Here rests our dear Ruby who failed to duck
She was beaned...Read More

Green the eyes that saw her lover
accidentally eye another,
Full her notebook, green the cover,
every look and twitch recorded.

Green the car she drove to tail him
(just in case his vows should fail him),
Green the phone on which she’d mail him
honey traps,...Read More

Please, do not ask me...

To pee in a cup!
Oh, that divine thrill an MD commands!
To have us pee in a cup~an experience so
far from thrilling,
Especially, even more so,if your bladder is
not willing!

You have to call in an unhappy staff member,
To...Read More

The mysteries of religions

Why are there so many religions?
one for every culture.

They the faith grows like mushrooms
in a glade after rain and rot.

Disappear into the forest floor and
a new religion emerges from the soil.

Field and forest lay painted pearly white.
Nature unravels her artistic side.
Angels descend to view the peaceful sight.
Trees glisten with a smile full of pride.
Snow capped meadows welcome and do not chide.
The winter sun calls out for none to hide.

Peaceful people...Read More

Limelight

Once I had to go on stage
reading my poetry, I was a nervous wreck
but when up there bathed in light
that shone just for me I was in my element.
Each poet had read three poems, but I was unstoppable
until the arranger...Read More

I'm taking no prisoners 
The ones who doubted me I'm now making them listeners
