Huge fluffy clouds began to form over 
Sanibel Island as the salted gulf splashed 
against the rocks around the lighthouse 
coastal waters rose up as a calming coolness 
carried this gentle warm breeze over to...

The Day Murphy Came To Town
One day in early summer Murphy the Irishman came to town,
He rode upon a matted mule , his face was burnt and brown,
The corks that hung from his bushman's hat persuaded flies to keep away,
But...

We had been up, down and sideways with lonely nights and 
solitary days.  We had seen total darkness dispensed from our

our rights...

Peeling back the bubble wrap on the ancient of days, 
Back to when Nixon was still presiding,
He, leading with paranoid deliberations, 
Sold his yeses to the Goldbricks, and the Mustard Men;
And...

Classical infusion Beethoven’s “ode to joy”
Playing on blaring audiophile speakers annoy 
Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music
Blends of subversive elements and anxious acoustic 
Solution to loitering the bodega doo dropping
Spicy Shiitake broth smelling...

Quarter To Eight
Sometimes I don't hear so well,
Sometimes I get confused
English is a tough language
Verse, tense, structures, sentences
It's an easy language to get abused

I sat on the couch, facing the TV,
And on the coffee table before me,
What...

Flesh on show and sun tan lotion
bodies laid on towels or sun lounges 
By the ocean
Salty air wind blown hair
Music streaming from the near by fair
Baby screaming nappies full
Cool guys looking for babes on the...

of a tiny island in the South Pacific
a tropical reef filled with sea life galore

Freedoms Fiesta
Bells from church to cathedral rang out the chorus of screams 
in every street echoed the cheering death of millions
as confetti rainbows came falling ticker-tape parade 
from a sky of joy ashed smoke rained down...

The Shadows of Forever.
In a corner of forever shining faintly far away
Are the softly burning candles of a long forgotten play,
Illuminating faintly every countenance of time
Like a poem of contrition painting pictures with it’s rhyme,
And each picture tells...

When I Closed My Heart
I blinding light would fill up the night,
Knew not when the morrow began,
A beautiful sight filled with delicious delight,
A reprieve that could liberate man.

Devotion and love but when push came to shove,
False and dishonest, the...

Little Green Laughter
~~~
Sunlight sweeps above the dale, while shades of Heather lift their veil
Then gentle mist of morning swirls, enhancing dawn with nature's pearls

Songbird's flight encircles glen, to spot late crawler's search for den
Yet...
Not all that dwells...

The sky on days become too full
And gravity will start to pull
And capture every bubble frame
While popping corks off rich champagne
The trees will fool and start to dance
And still the time on every branch

"The Muses"

Allusions 
camouflaged confessions 
I have read them all, each page

envelopes emptied
turned inside out 
pockets of Poésies 

they sprinkle their messages
like confetti, minds  popping 
like corks, frothy and overflowing

some kind celebration 
cupped and bled
stories...

Blind Mice
two mice
in my room
at night
gnawing as
if a clock
one from my
bed to the
left and the
other to
the right

they exude the
illusion of time
getting past
every trap and
so their rasping
dentures
on wood
one the second
the other the
minute hand

and so they carry
on carrying...

The wind thickens beyond measure
And life forces couple beyond fathom.
A chest of broken toys for a treasure
And a walk in the sun for a leisure.
Like a cigarette on a winter's night, 
My will burns out...

Celebration
The world celebrates a holiday that's "sentimentally symbolic."
With bombastic, "fantastic fireworks," we greet New Year's Eve. 
Revelers stoked, thoroughly usurped as if by a magical spell.
Abounds the sounds of popping corks of "chilled champagne!"
Toasting auld...

Cleaning Fish
A shimmer of scales moves iridescently
in porch light, flying over nicked knuckles,
falling to grass milky white.

Detached, a rod jerked to deep water,
we follow the blade blooming belly to vent--
fingers pluck viscera like harp strings, cut
deeply...

One night whilst the cow jumped over the moon
