Long Igloos Poems

The very fact of being alive, often causes one to seek adventure;
And sometimes it is no deterrent, when it carries traces of danger.

I was not a seasoned survivalist, but very much loved the outdoors,
Like varicolored...

Stay tuned
For the soon to be boom
Between the sun and moon
And any flowers that do or don't bloom
During morning, night and afternoon

And being rude or lewd
Just because...

The Wakening World

A new world spins kaleidoscopic, a whorl of color in revolt.
Oceans quake, molding into fissures of tectonic hunger,
ravaging the deep, stirring the primal need depressing
populations unseen to the denizens of land, left in...

pillowy packs that is spread out making a white-out
of black streets lanes and piles of pearly...

What to sacrifice first?
A lawn ornament I never liked.
It looks fantastic in the neighbor's kitchen.

Secondly, I threw out a drum I have not played in forty years.
The neighbors called to let me hear their son...

Glazed, deep snow, virgin crunched under my aimless walk
as I idle rambled onward through a vacant, bare-treed park.

without the jet lag"... Poet.

And ski, though I wasn't skilled, to tell...

Where Are My Winter Jackets?

It's freezing cold here,
Where are my winter jackets?

It's snowing out there,
Where are my winter jackets?

Where are my winter jackets?

The walk paths are narrowly paved,
Where...

But it's cold and snow again
