A journeyman once spelunked in a cavern beneath a marsh,
Whose oily layers of algae and water made his mission harsh.
For the cavern's entrance stood in the middle of the massive swamp
Full of gators with sawtooth...

Upon a well-heeled journeyman fresh in from out of town.

rodeo dust and sounds of deep water blues,
with teasing frothing lace spread on the shore,
Gulf Coast birth breeze blew winds
in sails to Caribbean Sea, Blue Mountain

the wise one of Tarot land
cheekily dressed with wit on his lips

BOXER
The late October day
marked the last of the tragic

taped hands for the troubles he sees
There had been no title shot,...

Miraculous Night
A tangerine moon glides across the sky;
I am enamored, of its beauty.
Twilight expires and gives way to dreamtime enchantments.
A color swirl opens the door;
behind it lay monsters.
Faces shape...

Old Bill and Me
Me and old Bill Shakespeare
Both knew a trick or two
When lost for the apt word
We knew just what to do.
It saved all the effort
It saved all the time
Keeping the rhythm while
Striving for the rhyme.
Now Old...

The Lesson of the Master
I tried to express myself like you,
Your style, rhythm, sense
Of pace and form, which floated
From the page with every piece I read.
It seemed your language was like
A drug, that filled each recess

Night Storm
We hide and could have died
But we only heard the faint cry
Of the wind outside whistling aloud
As the devastation passes by.
From the darkness, we heard cries,
Bringing voices of the night storm
Crashing through invisible...

The Journeyman, Walt Whitman
The Journeyman, Walt Whitman
Acrid smoke drifts over this lifeless battlefield…
Forlorn cries escape from his tattered journal, bound in silence…
From above, Vultures circle lazily, stung from below, the burning
Eyes of the gray-bearded one, give them...

Somewhere To the Left of Earth
In my many years before the mast
I’d seen rocks and shoals conspire
To ground me down to powder
Till I was just dust in the wind,
And I’d never even been to Kansas.
I was useless as a...

Mind Beat
The journeyman on his journey
a walker walking the lonely path
Of thorns and pains
Scribbling his footprint on the sands of time
A compass for the blind
In his solemn thoughts, he speaks aloud to the deaf.

Sad Journeyman of Death
Sad Journeyman of Death
Sad journeyman of life’s unending tests
bides time in loathsome sojourn cross each dawn
respecting naught but future’s numbered breaths

Aroused to madness ‘neath the scent of war

Pure Perfection
Mirror broken, shard's outspoken
Piercing, rupturing, into her heart
No prisoners taken, her life token
Devoured his latest thirst fulfilled
Appetite quenched, now plied art

Thoughts brims, he can only...

Bliss is found at the fringes of my vision
I wrap myself in white wings
Perhaps I'm a little egotistical
A journeyman who thinks a lot
The greatest prison is one's own mind

Two True Companions

Shrug buffeting winds and driving rains to go;
To hold a course for only fate to sway.
This journeyman with trusty beaconsphere;
Let none invade this very private space.
Her radiance and warmth...

Grandpa's Still Fishing With a Line and Hook

and freckled fly rod journeyman
eyed fish in the morning mist
kissing with giggles and a lemon twist
said he saw a bobbing head
round and fat with tuffs of red
six feet tall...
