I grew up with Phillip Jones who was our doctor’s son.
We built huts amongst the ti-tree and fired the odd slug gun.
We went through school together and we hung out up the street;
played footy and...

And Bucky admits "It Was A Different Life."

Vaping Ain’t Worth The Risks

To vape or not to vape, perhaps say  the venerated Shakespeare …
If only he were alive this day , he might also got to make a choice…
Back in his Victorian...

WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.

The fashion and law which euphemize every flaw
Is the reason for different notions.
He who's bald, grave authority is extolled,
The insolent is brave and bold,
The snuffler & bulbous-snouted are only suffering from...

Intelligence, it seems, is very expensive.
It makes you work to gain advantage.
It makes you pay to find success. 
It’s the law of supply and demand.
To learn, one must also be willing to lose.
The scarcity of...

Trying to push the mushy stuff out
Gonna be a knock down drag 'em out affair
From the rooftops I wanna shout!

Have I jumped on the carousel again, 
the one with no brass ring? 
Where no matter which horse I ride I will
end up spinning in circles of despair?

I do not try to wonder why

Morning brief
Not much to say;
Touching aftermath

~~~~~~~~~


Passing clouds
Candy floss chit-chat;
Without a word

~~~~~~~~~


Lovers in the park
Saturday evening trysts;
Cheery revival

~~~~~~~~~


Free-and-Easy
Way to go;
Redundant tour guide

~~~~~~~~~


Aloha Hawaii
Polynesian fare;
Smiles surfing free

~~~~~~~~~


Fly away now
Missionary quest;
Overseas homework

Complains surge
No much change;
Wishful thinking

Here and there

Can remember when being a teenager
so free and easy could see no danger,
but things you do seems a lot stranger
mobile phones, computers, life's arrangers,

must have been boring without technology 
no google to find information like...

I remember those lazy days of summer
when we rode away on horseback
down dusty, deserted country roads;
took our shoes and socks off;
neared the trail to the river;
walked so free and easy;
gouging out that red Alabama loam

We live our lives so free and easy
not thinking for a moment all we hear
stop for a moment think what you've heard
even in past 24 hours so much so near

Our minds taking into our thoughts

Shooting fish in a barrel with an AK-47
Or merely tripping on the bench in the park,
Where the leather whacks on willow
And a stairway to heaven 
Plays in the lost pavilion in the dark.

In the madness of the mystical moonlit moment
swirling visions escape from the haunting stillness of nothing. 
Allowing a thoughtful turn and the house of mind to drape.
With free and easy care could one as grand...

Walking down a crowded street

with a cool breeze at my back

smells from a food vendor linger

and I stop for a seafood snack

I sit upon a nearby bench

and stare off into the wayward night

the moon she...

Choice greets poise
Elegant simplicity;
Free and easy

~~~~~~~~~


Joy strokes fine cheer
Love speaks clear;
With you my dear

Quick getaway
Trip for two;
Bali moments

~~~~~~~~~


Vacation trek
Precious moments;
Mountain scenery

~~~~~~~~~


Poolside banter
Rest and relax;
Catchup on reading

~~~~~~~~~


Sensory meal times
Extravagant spread;
So much to share

Treats for two
Explore lazy...

As I wandered free and easy,
all along The sandy shore,
Dipping toes into the sea edge,
listening to The tidal roar.

Surrounded by the sounds of summer,
heated by The sun,
Noisy,strutting seagulls eating,
Laughing children having fun.

I came upon a...

Killin’ Time

Killin’ time...
Wasting time...
Whileing the
time away

postponing all til later
Best not to act in haste
see ya’ later alligator
I’ve all the time 
In the world to waste

Til one day…’later’ arrived
contrite and with hat in it’s hand`

My Thoughts On Freebies
Miracle Man

Many have used some Government safety net as a way of life,
causing some to cultivate the attitude, better you pay, than me.
For self respect, exhaust all internal means of self support,

Since writing this collection of narratives

Poetry has taken on a whole new meaning for me

It allows me to express my inner thoughts

Without restrictions

To concentrate solely on the message

Without the sometimes daunting task of rhyme

Eighteen wheels roll down a highway
on the other side of time
where a dark and ghostly shadow moves
along the centerline
As he rolls across tomorrow
through that final border town

he puts the hammer...

Take a walk in the park,
It’s the time for bonding; 
It brings joy and gladness
To parent and offspring.

Take a walk in the park,
It’s a great chance to play;
A moment of laughter
To brighten the new day.

Take...
