Long Baseball glove Poems

It seems like it was only yesterday that the man in the mirror was searching through his full...

The Hush of Christmas Past


It came more slowly then.
After Thanksgiving
the lights and decorations
started showing up.
The excitement started to build.
Santa showed up at the

ads in the newspapers
were larger, some even
in color.  There...

Children laughing when at play, bright sun rising to greet the day
Sweet cream added in my morning coffee, horses munching hay
A rusty nut that just breaks free, an ancient majestic noble tree
Wind at my back...

A family trip to the beach on a sunny day,
Having a friend come over to play,

Going to a...

And holding hands walking down the street
Doing a matinee on a Saturday
Feeling the rhythm of the music in your feet
Playing baseball on an abandoned...

I was going through some boxes,
that were packed-up years ago.
Thinking I could throw away some stuff,
How much I didn't know.

A lot of it just made me laugh.
Why it was kept, I can't recall.
Our thinking wasn't...

Beside him with his baseball, glove and bat, stood his little son.

Childhood
As I close my eyes and drift back in time 
The thoughts of being young come to mind 
When I was four, people were as tall as trees 
Looking ahead, all I saw was knuckles...

Our old Plymouth wagon sits junked in the yard
Collecting pine needles and rust
Ten years of abuse and driven too hard
Now an eyesore, the neighbors might fuss

Chrysler Corporation was not at their best
Before Iacocca, I think

Walking through the streets of my home town 
Reaching for the  Memories of days long passed
Seeing nothing of what I once knew 
Accepting the fact

We didn’t have much stuff
We weren’t poor
Or so we were told
Ya got one pair of shoes
Maybe sneakers in the summer
A few “hand-me-downs”
A “cold water flat” in the city
An old black cast iron stove
For warming feet...

The baseball glove I never wore
Is kept within this box
With a first place ribbon partly torn
From the medal at the top...
And a letter mom asked me to mail 
That  had begged you to come...

I see him there,
The one I love.

I see him there,
With a baseball glove.

His mind is just like my dad's,
Making it like mine.

He's good at math,
And so am I.

Another similarity.

We love music,
To listen...

Home should be bliss, a place we can rise
to awaken each day with clearer eyes. 
A structure, a room or arms wrapped around
someone who's heart calms beyond bounds.

Home can be anything that speaks to your...

The dreams of children are simple things.
Of sunshine, laughter and a puppy's love,
Dress-up clothes or a new baseball glove.
The warm lap of comfort a mother  brings.

These things should be every child's right.
For many these...

Look at me
And tell me what you see
I'm more than just a girl
It goes deeper then sexuality

My blonde hair cant stop me 
From putting on that foot ball helmet.
And my manicure cant stop me
from using...

The dog's at the door
Leash, collar, mask, rubber paw pads
The cat's doing three to five for
Shredding the toilet paper
The FBI fingerprint lab
Has ceased operation
Arrests are down
Everyone's wearing rubber gloves
And a mask
The Care Bears......DON'T
Virtual kisses smudge...
