undaunted and adamant;
never being effected by malicious intent,
never being accursed by words...

of strange lands inhabited by mediums,
who are the seers that wish to...

Slum
My manuscripts are hers.
I find no solace in puddles,
no security in single, silver spoons.
She is there, always.
My breath is not safe.
Her ghosts floats out in puffs,
that so go to the very...

Window Art Pilgrimage
Lipstick art on my window;
a hole in my screen
in the shape of a heart,
left for me.
Found some footprints
in the snow,
followed them
till they met the road.
Hundreds of strangers
compromising the scent,
but all going one direction
so I...

Yearning For Reunion
Ancient, rugged hills worn down by time
I miss the lush green hills of my home
Leaning away from the peaceful valley,
Mountains forged from eons long forgotten
During those prehistoric periods before
Earliest settlers found the Appalachians,
Already old,...

Fire In the Mountains
Fire in the Mountains
October’s crisp clean air is blowing
and as we speak we can see our breath,
a hot coal falls from Heaven’s altar

The Magnificence of the Mountains
For there is freedom on
top of the mount,
as I quench my thirst
from the Niagara Falls fount.
I have seen the Rockies
and the Appalachians,
on journeys to other states
for family vacations.
Mother Nature calls the
Bald Eagle...

Beached
The rowdy party racks the August Camp.
Beer flows in one end and out the other.
The tin siding vibrates with rock.
The sound rolls “over Beethoven”
in a corrugated groove.
The heat baked, potato-skinned,
hormone riddled teens gyrate.
Lip-locked; they...

Old Time Appalachians
Old time Appalachians deep within the hollows.
Self-sufficient, hard working, fine mountain folks
With farming, barn raising, and crafting skills,
Logging, mining and music to pleasure the ear.
Devoted to family, kin gathering they do.
Faith in the wisdom of...
