Long Catch one Poems

A lone sunbeam washed over a sleeping face.
Soft fine curls swirled over the child’s head.
How lovely to watch a child in sleep,
Refreshing, renewing, the promise of youth.
Naptime was precious for this mother.
A time of quiet,...

We spent Christmas in Camas, Washington
With Aunt Lil and Uncle Carl on this run
Carl owned the town’s only sporting goods store

I sit and I wonder.
I wonder and I sit.
Moments dance together,
not worrying where they fit.

A bird sits outside my...

Earth is but a tiny speck of color, spinning round and round
orbiting the sun in the ebon universe without making a sound.
Come and lay beside me in a meadow and let's pretend
we're floating in space...

Cast to the left of me, cast to my right
Cast out in front of me but I can’t get a bite
I’ve changed my tactics many times, tried legering and float
And now the heavy pouring rain...

Every day at recess I play catch with the boys
No matter what they can’t throw where they’re told
Just one good pass
To bend over that many times, I’m getting too old

I throw them a pass
And it...

In the mellow marshes
where butter flies abound,
a lot of curious critters here
are running all around.

Some jitter bugs are here with us.
Their music drives us nuts.
The grass hoppers – kung fu friends of theirs -
hop so...

When winter months become morose
And everything around is blue and froze
Gets disheartening even for the eskimos
Their morale starts to dwindle and decompose

They tread most lightly on cautious tippytoes
For fear their neighbors will become bellicose
They bite...

On another expense of the people
Despite we see you as the best

Spring winds clean winter branches
Leaves billow far from home
A maple tree sheds its own in tune
No one is around to collect them
Flat and perfect to be pressed in a book
Unlike humanity’s tree in March
It sheds...

With the beach 
In reach 
Reading the tourist billboards on the Interstate 
With a friendly mate 
Coming from the north 
For what it’s worth
Following the enchanting moon 
That will soon 
Hear the sound of breaking...

It was a pink sky this morning
The sky was streaked with pastel hues
But no bad sailor's warnings
were forecast on the news.

Cool enough to be chilly
Warm enough to desire outside
How great it is to be here
To...

Her self esteam was so low
Her heart was covered in wrinkles
No I'm not gonna sugar coat this
I'm not gonna coat it in sprinkles

She climbed the liquid staircase
just to gaze at gleaming stars;
all she wanted was a wee one
to light up her fair boudoir.

A thousand times she spied them
flash across the midnight sky;
she strained so high to catch...

He was
 sick of her.
He was 
bored 
and 
restless.
The tramps 
at work
stimulated 
his thirst
for new
 conquests.
He thought 
to himself:
This diabetic 
is taking up 
so much of 
my time.
I'm sick of 
her whining.
And the needles 
she's...

The 'dusk' has arrived 
The sun has willingly  bowed
Down the silver lined  Clouds
With departure framed waves
Encompassing luminous Rays,

As I sit by the window of solitude 
Watching the 'dusk ' in control,allowing the dawn...
