My transportive 
awesome Muse
speaks of a hiking trail
for an aging snail.

My communicative

of my town's daily GoodNews Bulletin...

No.
I do not have...

though no fault of his own
the raging bullish conflagration
a taste of inescapable...

The world of business 
is riddled with traps
I tried to start
an intenent business

So good were their words
we make money 
when you make money
the promise of lies

cat, dog, food, humor, mom, pain, summer,


I tripped over  feet
My shoe laces both came undone
Slid in my 'spilled' milk
Cut my finger on broke glass
My blood now was mixed in milk!

I sat on a chair

She's thirty-three, single,
her Mom babysits her
five year old son.
She reassures herself it's
just two more hours,
then it's the blessed weekend.

she's just getting by.

There is one kind aging matron
who makes...

but tonight’s battle is with an old friend.

His battle, this night, is with old Roger...

In a course changing wind
we were swept on a breeze
to the little blue house
neath the white almond trees.
Deciding to settle
the first time we looked,
a country lifestyle
had us totally hooked.

We gave up our dreams
through the decade...

In summer, heat, causes premature browning.
Of manicured lawns and foliage on trees,
Which often induces a homeowners frowning.

In fall, trees are cloaked...

You Built Your House on a Sand Dune

Homeowners now will begin to moan
The storm came and blew my house away
So insurance and FEMA ought to pay

Spring takes its bow early in Florida’s climate
Winds expire, February debuts in quiet
Dazzling lavender blooms on cherry trees wake first
Sweet aroma o’er the verdant landscape’s dispersed

Pitch black outside 
He looks around 
The neighbors are sound asleep
The homeowners are out of town

With a crowbar in hand 
Pieces of the door frame broken...

a beatnik, hippie, nonconformist to the max
