Fall (24 Words)

Random vibrations
Branches stand still
Autumn’s frailty
Shaking in the wind

Warmer hues presented
As air outside chills
Branches emptying
Solemnly to the ground


You Are Not the Father (38 words)

Prince Charming thought he’d...

From my Columbus college dorm
It was an early winter’s morning
I layered my clothes to stay warm

Dinna of Denmark
 you were my darling
Walking in your well worn sandals
Down the dirty Via Dolorosa

Clutching your stuffed Lion Toy
Swinging your bag
 brimful
 with secrets and sweets
Pencil crayons and poems
Fairy  stories  conjured
In your...

I've even seen Venice
money well spent 
to achieve divine peace

I've hitchhiked through the desert
walked the Manhattan streets
played imaginary football with cactus
ran a marathon in a city made of concrete

met many faces...

When time counted !!!

Once upon a time, what lived in my Girls, mind,

Each is a piece, a small part
of a composite that has come
together in a morning,
the frayed strands of dreams 
knitted into a waking timed now
to a slow tread on a familiar street. 
Then suddenly, careering...

was when I hitchhiked to Miami, Florida;

but the trip was full of joyful euphoria !

She recognized this mission was her destiny
Tell everyone her mother encouraged her
It was 1974, when rides were free

It was a time when we were troubled
Work shifts had to be doubled
We didn’t earn enough to take a wife

We protested a worthless war
Cried over the Ohio four
Watched newscasts full of strife

We hardly knew we were children 
When we trudged like soldiers 
Through the new snow
As it draped the barren maple
Trees 
Of the northeast 
In a new winter coat,
We barely knew another world sang like

In the summer of 1975

across the country
 when my bus pass was stolen

My '90 Dodge Daytona sat
Broken down
On Horseblock Road.

We hitchhiked east
To Kelly’s induction,
Embarrassingly tardy.

The trucks were leaving
Ashes were spreading
And 16 people stood
Broken down
Outside the service.

Sean, Laura and I approached.
We made 19
Peers in formal wear
Feuding for space
Between...
