Spending My Life
Well, this morning began “a fine kettle of fish” to my taste
(ambiguity present and somewhat ironic), no waste
of intent here. ‘Walk’ mentioned proforma, ‘glazed doughnut’ from Stan’s (1)

Esmeralda, As Told By the Poet Pierre Gringoire - With Apologies To Victor Hugo
I had been placed in chains
Where the cripples shed their canes
And the blind regained the art of seeing.
It was a robbers’ den
And as all God fearing men,
I had assets needed freeing.
Sometimes...

Genesis
Anyone can write poetry;
Only some do it well.
And others fail—initially, at any rate.
Some idea of its genesis may be of help.
A poem – any piece of literature – is
The result of a combination...

Light Verse
These people they are not worth much
These people, they’re not worth much,
They think they are more liquid than water,
They shine before those who envy them,
They wear beautiful expensive watches,
These people think they’re better than God,
Better Than hedgehogs, seagulls, trees,
But they don’t...

Greater, stronger than democracy
Making every person
An equal player in the game of life
I have found that, that
Wields control where incursion has never made
Beaming white light in the region of blackest darkness
Widening the...

Like That, Like Them
I was in the cinema one day
Staring at a couple at the corner
Holding hands
Deep in love
Like they can’t get enough

That we just...

Monet's Impression, Sunrise
Monet's Impression, Sunrise
First impressions leave memories
that can linger for a very long time
and give a sense of peace and understanding
that rewards the solitude of the mind
with satisfaction in contemplative reflection.
This may be deceiving and can...

write the “afternoon prelude of a faunal”,
Or "the toy box", or "Bergamasque suite", "La mer",
be a musician, a seer, and invent new music,
I would...

Proud and pure, high above the common man he soared
Still young, yet master over a cathedral, his own lord
His brow focused on the high arts - alchemy,...

Where beauty sings mysteriously,
