I was new at the Jewish senior home
In the center garden I saw old man read a tome
I asked his name, to start a conversation, 
"Marvin Klutznik", he replied, to my consternation.

I had paid so...

My palms would sweat. I’d get physically sick.
Why was I always the last one they’d pick?
There were times I would not be selected at all,
for a physical game, I was pretty darn small.

I watched as...

Writing effortlessly and I faint
first thought was dreamscape 
I can recall every single detail
To the T. 

Twelve fenestra foggy glass, 
a paining of a woman, Egyptian,
classy loft style apartment,
with a fountain in the center, 
tree...

Does happily ever after really exist?
Is it a cruel joke with a sardonic twist?
When the girl gets the boy, or boy the girl,
Life seems so good, a love affair in a whirl;
But the fairy princess...

Man the way people boast, can't miss it, it's on TV radio, plus they post coast to

Fridged temperatures bite at exposed skin,
Icy cold winds pull and tug on coats, looking for a way in.

Naked trees expose their frozen bark,
It has arrived and leaves a snowy mark.

Silence deafens the ear as nothing...

We sat in clusters, on couches, giggling at the antics of the wild ones, the PP’s.
Aka popular peers, who were dancing with self confidence that oozed into the walls.
The PP’s were gyrating to folksongs, flinging...

Our past relationship, whatever the boundaries, can we consider being activity partners at some point in time. Capable of giving support, in the form of wellness updates, at times to the other, or are we...

I sit down here…
Staring admiringly at my big belly.
Round and firm like I have never seen before.
Love resides there.

I caress it slowly…
Hoping he/she knows I’m here.
I smile thinking how blessed I am.
Love resides there.

I cringe...

The grandstand is gelid by a sharp wintry breeze
Carried off from the field are the last of dead leaves
The shrill of the whistle, muffled calls from the crowd
From the tunnel stampede, metal studs echo loud.

Sit at the table
And look things over carefully
No decision here should be made lightly
There’s tons of variety 
So many things you could have 
And lots of options to choose from
You could pick two
You could even...

In your attempt to search me out,
To question my love through your world of doubt,
Turn around and look at yourself,
Because the feelings you have now you've already felt,
They were there before I even came,
Your just...

The only thing that exceeded the dinginess of this rat-hole bar was its stuffiness. I
stopped in the place to make change for a parking meter just outside its door. God! It was
awful in there, and...

"I TRY MY BEST"


I could be bitter or better but I chose to try to be my best-
  I could be a kicker or a fighter, for one time I was depressed.

A cage not of your making
your own expiration date

Your mother branded you with it
and made you wear it even to date

It was announced at family dinners
with strangers in the room

It was told to every family...

Their stuff they are flashing
Towards others they are bashing
They get a kick out of it, and continue laughing

They think they are all that
Against me, you'll fall flat
And never get a call back
Just another small cat

?My greatest, favorite poem by far and yet
For foolish politicians who want to fret.

Mother and Daughter Drinking the Water

Those in favor up votes tried to muster
Senators opposed presented a lackluster Philabuster
What was the kicker and...

The dawn was approaching, not a breath of air blew,
And the bass should be bitin', at the edge of the slough.

I gathered my tackle and shoved in the boat,
Not knowing whether, the blamed thing would...

My Lovely Children – All Grown Now

It was one cold snowy morning, that dawn of 1970,
I awoke to many strange feeling, deep inside of me.
Quietly I sat, at my bedside in an eerie calm,

Hate,
You came to me
When I was a child

I don’t want you to
Be near me
Ever again


It was during WW2
Japan ruled
Koreans obeyed

One day 
Mother came home
With tears in her eyes
Her voice filled with bitterness

A Japanese soldier kicker...
