Ode To Bobby Fischer
Child of darkness, child of scorn,
the devil danced when you were born,

Things . . .
Things?
Things!
Just ordinary
Things.
Familiar Things.
Everyday Things.
Obvious Things.
Even trivial Things.

Rages angry seas lap against the wooden
Hauls as battle harden...

Do the bell bottomed boys
Slide quietly into Rayners
For the pint, the craic, the noise.
Do their pockets still jingle
Until, having spent it all
It's again through the Bullnose
To pursue the ghostly trawl.
Do...

Traversing Iceland's National Park, a timeless place, where daylight fills each passing hour

Amazing geysers...

?There are a million ways?
To say I love you
In this day and age?

I Live To Remember
My mind a thick fog, a thick fog so deep,
it threatens to submerge my thoughts.
I know not why, or how, or even who,

Thirteen Yule Lads of Iceland
I am hiding in my bedroom, scared to death because my pajamas are not new.

I can feel him hiding...

Billowing ash and smoke circle above
Volcanic eruptions are on the rise
Intense balls of fire I toss from my glove

Icelandic Yule Tide Cat
Rat-a-tat-tat, it is the sound of the dreaded, Icelandic Yule Cat.

Many Miles Away
Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
Travelling by stealth, incognito, alone by wise choice
Hazy memories of his homeland and boyhood street
Friendless these lean years, no recognition to rejoice
Mercenary factions control his vagabond life
Icelandic fjords,...

Arabians To Zebras
Ancient Arabians, mother to all
Bloodlines, essence of exquisiteness
Clydesdales, symmetry of strength
Dignity of duty, power of purpose
Ebony elegance, midnight silk
Friesians, crusaders in
Galloping gallantry
Hardy hearts, tiny and tenacious
Icelandic horses, gaited grace over
Jagged soil, volcanic climes
Kaleidoscope diamonds, lissome...

For an Icelandic adventure and memories to gain

Altering Elements
Like a warm summer’s day

Like the boisterous south easterly
that clears away the city’s fog
her mood sways from jubilant to poignant,
Like a thunderous night
that holds the promise...
