writing short stories in 1967;
with my left leg dangling over the left side,

I sit down,
others stand up,
walk away.

To the Looser who Lost Out

I reflect on the days-
Her first little steps, those tiny feet chasing dreams. 
Her doing silly little dances on the floor,  
She'd giggle, then stumble, then laughter galore.

Life Full of Nostalgia

Ambered hues in faded frames, a bygone era's smile,
Bakelite whispers of forgotten songs, on a crackling vinyl isle.

Picture Worth a Thousand Words

Dear faces under glass
She’s wearing a white dress and veil,
He’s wearing a tux and crimson tie,
They smile radiantly as they look into each other’s eyes.

Though the obsession was so strong like a unicorn

Down the River of Life
Keeping my eyes on the WAY
And my boat free from envy and strife

While mine was a raft of wood

Baking Bread

I open the oven door
to a blast of heat 
and hot bread bulging
out of a high tin, brown, crusty
and ready to be taken out.

remember bread being...
