Green Spanish Eyes - Part 1Ah Consuela! Invoking vast vistas for visions of green Spanish eyes,
I discern them again where she left me back then,
as we kissed when she parted, my friend.
Through those ruins I tread towards the footlights,...

he pecked...

AttackATTACK
I can still see their faces
mouths open screaming silent screams
silenced by the loud barking
of weapons, theirs and ours;
sudden explosions rendering moot
intensity of automatic fire.
They came out of the trees
running across the stream,
the dark forms...

The Plastic Christmas TreeThere is a plastic Christmas tree down at the mall
Every needle a perfect green.
Untouched by winter wind or early frost,
Summer’s heat or parching drought,
It stands with ideal symmetry among the shoppers
Lost in their own and...

MindfulMindful
Startled out of nonchalant light,
Wakefulness stands at attention
Ignited flame from the eternal candle,
Energized vigil of the watchman
At the soul’s dawning daybreak
Tingling in the presence
Of every dappled infinite breath.
Rotating eye of illumination
Watchful, like a...

Ocean Walk - Part 2As the sun dips lower in the sky
And the ocean turns a deeper hue
Families pack up their children
Pails, shovels, blankets and shoes
The life guard closes up his tower
His day successfully through
No one lost in the...

Would You Love Me If I Wasn't a PoetI didn’t see the moon in a pearly hue.
The ocean’s waves weren't a deep azure blue.
If the meadows didn’t sing a soft gentle tune.
In a pearly hue I didn’t see the moon.
Would you still love...

Virtuous CirclesDoes life seem to you,
as love does to we,
that virtuous circles
engage healing intent
While viscious squares
of bad-tempered stomping
marches much less gayly
toward escalating drama
with harmful trauma
and persistent
discontent
Positive engagement
does not engage negative performers
as if some lives
are divinely entitled

The Death of Ian IncognitoThe world a stage,
Shakespeare noted.
And we the imposter,
in our final call.
A few catch our last show.
Unwitting, they s on cue,

our final self-deprecation.
A clown milking our last mockery,
our closing burlesque pratfall,...

of solitude when memory accrues

Collingwood, Oh CollingwoodIn the heart of Melbourne's bustling streets,
Lies a club where every footy fan meets.
Black and white, their colors fly,
A magpie's pride, soaring high.
Collingwood, oh Collingwood,
Where dreams are chased, and understood.
With every kick, mark, and handball,

Like dew from a new spring stem
The mightiest cock shall rule the roost
But there's a disease unleashed in the pen
