The Passionate Pirate
“In the days of pirating
Much pirating was done
Some for gold and riches
Some for glamour, some for fun
But nothing fills a pirate’s head
With such tremendous joy
As when he’s got a lass in Blighty
Waiting for her...

It's All In a Name
This is a poem about surnames,
Surnames we could hear any day.
How their name was derived
From how they survived,
Their occupation will give them away.
ARCHER is the first one,
Shooting his arrows straight and true.
BAKER is the next...

I Was Listening To Levertov Read
i was listening to Levertov read
one of her poems
and as she spoke my mind drifted
her words were of those moments
when manunkind sinks its' teeth
into the bowels of the earth
rapes untold but well known
riches for itself

Garden Fresh
Crisp end of winter morning,
my shovel digs the soil,
turning over weeds and worms,
and watch them twist and coil …
hoe the dirt once more again,
until a soft and silky bed,
then plant seeds, where once grew weeds,
and...

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity
Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity.
She couldn't write about her mother-
Her young womb a cradle
for a different form,
Was her brothers'
Memorial wall.
When she was born,

No resurrection
for the newly buried.
They were the...

Love's Fruit
Among your orchard grooves lemon green grew
At first the dream-like pear-shape eyes
Until i parted and stared closely
Into your cherries iris pupils
That aim the Cupid's arrow,
Piercing through my reddened apple
Puncturing a spring full of...

I Fear People
I fear people
People who are wearing colorful masks
Hiding poisoned daggers in their casks
I'm afraid of people
Whom over their head
Carry the banner of benediction
Then again at night

Wine In the Val D'Aosta
Steep slate slopes glow in autumn gold
Below jagged white aretes.
Strong young men hunt among the crags
Pursuing choice chamois and deer.
Valley maids harvest purple grapes.
Laughing children mash-dance in vats.
Women stir yeast to set the brew
And...

Thank You
Thank you dear poets
for being always here
for the things you write
and the things you share
our words that define
our words are refined
we are the ageing casks
yet we wear a million masks
thanks for all of you...

Fo'C's'Le Ashes
Ashes collected into the collated casks and
Corked with animus, Moon Girl pounded on.
Drumming a dirge on the tanner's own flesh.
