moving West to East
it does this because of at the equator

at a greater velocity than Earth's
rotational velocity causing...

when it is a very demanding, challenging, complex

Fabulous Fifties
Fabulous Fifties
is what they called it,
we just called it a good time.
It was a great time in history
to be a teenager, to have our

The East Silver Bridge
I was outside of Philly walking in Bucks County
As I climbed the Tree of Good and Evil
A voice spoke to me about the future
Because of my free will I was asked to make a choice

My Freedom, My Sanity
MY FREEDOM, MY SANITY
Spending ample time with my younger son and
youngest daughter brought memories; sweet,
delightful ones and sad, painful, troubled times.
Here I am catching myself pondering, looking back
when they were teen agers,...

Lived through it, survived
Tight-lipped through all the horror
Never succumbing to bitterness or sorrow

The Heart of the Matter
Society seems hellbent to chuck,
the moral codes that hold it fast
so why are we so thunderstruck,
when cruel crimes the tube broadcast?
Once Adam sinned, man’s heart turned bad.
Cain killed Abel for being good.
Sin displeased God...

Idolescents
We're all so beautiful, physical and ignore our souls
Twinkle twinkle little star, a star never falls
Smile smile and trouble will seems so far
Doves fly and toads get stuck in the tar
Let's...

The Heart of God
Sometimes it seems like God doesn’t care,
We pray and pray and nothing happens,
The pain and sorrow get worse and worse and we wonder?
Does God have any concern at all for me?
But see, God’s timing...

A Town Survives By Fishing Early Light
My horse's haunches sway,
Saunter up hillocks and down a valley path,
Above a ridge off and on: a village where some people fish,
Phosphorescent flotsam washed ashore.
Green embers breathe as if through shriveled lungs.
Wax in contrast...

X Men
Stranger things beacon
these young teen agers
when a bald-headed
professor
saw them individually-telekelically
a girl a Marvel girl
she could perform miracles
can read minds nothing can be hidden
from this red head beauty
next,...
a cool tween miss guided a little...

Screen Agers
As the kids from our area,
We're outside having fun,
I would sit on my computer,
And soon childhood was done.
As we grew to our teens,
And outside the sun shone,
I didn't look from my screen,
And then youth...

The Game of the Year
It's the game of the year
A contest for the ages
In attendance are celebrities
Government officials and sages
Ceremony, pageantry and pomp
As the gladiators get ready to stomp
Onto the field...

Hey Kid, Who Did You Say Was Old
When I was a boy of three,
My sister much older than me
Raced me to the teen-age stage
Where we seemed about the same age.
We knew that folks of thirty
Were way over the hill
And their greatest thrill
Was...

Ode To Duno Brown
Duno Brown, you brought orange and purple into my life
I did not realize until I met you how exciting old agers can be.

Happiness Is You
Have you seen the poor, giving, putting others first?
Anyone who choose to give, learns to live
Perhaps you see so many gifts in life
Priceless gifts exist for you to pose with
I say compassion, kindness, and gratitude...

Stained Carpet
White cotton balled Q-tips;
Orangey yellowed fuzzy basketballs;
Purple covered lemon balls, lemon heads;
Melted down into the carpet;
Once a highway in the skies;
Home is where the heart is now;
Wrong-way Jones is left way out;
Salamander Samuel eating raw...

Changing world
Changing world?
In Peru, they import potatoes
In Guatemala, they plant thousands of trees
drink cacao, sit in groups, and sing
think they are new agers
the new war in The Middle East began
because Israel saw the need to attack

When I spill food on my shirt, she removes the stain
Her feet always hurt, but...
