V.C. Andrews’s mystery
William Shakespeare’s grace
Edgar Allen Poe’s rhymes
J.K. Rowling’s magic wand
and the Muse that
inspires every future writer..
All of that is good literature....

It Is To Bethe choir chimed in
a chorus of rebuke
or stones we'd hurl
abusing the adulteress's skin
shoot your pocket rocks
passing judgment comes down
like diluvial rains splashing
gory-red upon your frocks
it was to be...
her luggage, some water-jars
Samaritan's soles cooked &
cured by partiality &
cancel culture, burying stars

finding a forgotten purseInhaler
Dimes
Brown napkin
Three pairs of eye glasses
Two pencils, an eraser and a pen
Wallet with seventeen dollars and eighty-two cents
Comb, cracker, stale muffin, five receipts, toothpicks
Tiny piece of pink ribbon, twenty-two allergy pills
Empty pill bottle
Sometimes finding a forgotten purse feels like Christmas...

I am I say
I am the sunrise
the spark of creation
the breath of nature
the whisper of twilight
the rustling of leaves
the touch of rainfall
the drums of thunder
the colour of rainbows
the kiss of moonbeams
the spring of compassion
the voice of love

Unmusking the lies - to Elon Musk
Unmusking the Lies - Poem written to Elon Musk
In the stillness of night, a truth stirs and grows,
A chorus of voices, where our history flows.
From the ashes of burdens, our spirits ignite,
Our pain woven deep, and we’re reclaiming our light.
Elon, hear our cries—this narrative’s flawed,
To claim we...

After the WeddingAfter The Wedding
after the I do’s
after the photographs
after the guests have gone
after the rice is swept up
after the toasts
after the dances
after the wedding dress is stored
after the rental tux is returned
after the banquet hall is dark
after the hot honeymoon
Now the marriage begins

Seventy PlusSeventy Plus
Have been retired for 7 years
The best parts:
no work hassles
more time to write poetry
more time to play music
more time to work on my project list

I can sit around in sweats and tee shirt
(in summer shorts and tee shirt)
But

insomnia
not as much...

If You Care To Know
A few things you should know about the things I love
like the magic of watching asteroids above
the fact that I was born on Easter Day
the joy of buying a summertime bouquet
off-hours where I quietly sit at a café
talks about our Thousand Islands get-away
matinees at home or at the cinema
chunky fruit in a pitcher full of...

Turned UpRadio dials, caught inside turned up.
Radio dials slide back down.
Radio dials play what shapes us,
radio dials make us nostalgic.
Radio dials adorn the air,
radio dials search for a new song.
Radio dials tune in to that voice,
radio dials grab us with the first note.
Radio dials may hook static
radio dials give us some magic!
Radio dials, something of...
