Culture Clash
I was a college music teacher, engaged in pitch, tempo, rhythm and melody,
As lavish planets dance around a golden star, with the zeal of fuchsia fidelity.

then wrapped my sweater tighter from the cold and discomfort.

bruised egos, painful cries and...

in an effort to ramp up brisk temperature tolerance),
an immediate process to shake out matted down hairs

Cora's Clothesline
What softness in silence amidst the cacophony of a spin cycle world war.
Lying next to your glow in sleep's stillness, careful of your bandaged hand.
Watching your breath enter and leave, the rise and fall of...

What Kids Did
Compared with us, the kids today
Too little play and too much weigh.
Alone indoors they snack and sit
And buttons hit, while we stayed fit.
We'd quickly chores and homework do,
Then dash through doors to fun pursue,
To basketballs...

For someone to dance with me

Sometimes with my husband
But mostly with the broom
In the...

To share an era that begun
From music to the fashion trend

From classic pop to rock...

Monster Groove
I went to a monster party,
At Castle Frankenstein;
With lots of food and spirit,
The fun kicked off at nine!
Ol' Frankie did the robot,
I stepped to a jitterbug;
The floor began to quake,
We really cut the rug!
I moved...

Leaving London
Leaving London
A thousand flickered lights
Beat out neon
Fantasies animation
Jerks its pseudo motion
Feet by fifty foot tall
On the south river board walk
Juke box gangsters one-armed bandit
Hang street corners
From the eyes red light
By cliché shop windows
Of a thousand...

Time To Go
Time can be a minute
Or it can be an hour
Days, weeks, years, decades
Time itself is a power
Sometimes the dawn of morning
Or heat of afternoon
The setting sun of evening
The light of the midnight moon
Time can be...

Turmoil and Pain
You’re always in my thoughts Jitterbug,
Your memory will never fade.
We had so many great times together.
Fond memories that we made.
Remember when we went camping in the van,
And you referred to me as a mung bean?

Hounds Pt 2
My dearest Jitterbug,
The demon driver has eventually taken you,
As inevitably we both knew it would.
The spirit killer took you in its grasp,
Something I know you understood.
Your shadow ultimately let you fall,
To end all your turmoil...

Turquoise Lake
In southern Colorado,
that old Rocky Mountain state,
beneath God's azure heavens
is a place called Turquoise Lake.

Winter's Lantern
The snow on the ground is aglow at midnight
A sheet of moonlight
Like a sketchpad with shadows
Stretched from tree limbs furiously penciled in,
A speakeasy dance floor from the 1920s
Mobbed and sashaying,
Doing the jitterbug,
With black arms and...
