I sit and watch a play unfold- it's there within my sight!

Stellar Cradle
Rock-a-bye starlets where the Swan flies.
Like earthly Sun, your day will arise.
Bright shall you reign, before your light dies.
So shine in your cradle high in the skies.
Cygnus OB2, the place you dwell
cozily clustered in cloudy...

Fighting For Peace
No matter how big the war
whether nation against nation or
two men in a bar, the result is the same:
loss.
In my lifetime nearly constant war, and even before.
And that is just those involving...

We Went To a Movie Today
We Went To A Movie Today
By Rick Rucker
We went to a movie today,
About two oldsters that had let it slip away,
They still cared about each other,
But were living like sister, and brother,
They had...

Conversational Twists and Turns
Topics of conversation seem to change as we approach maturity.
As kids we talked of love - now it's lumbago and social security!
It once was enlightening to simply discuss the weather,
But now it's a litany of...

no sense in family reunion
the oldsters were the ones who were predictable
Aunt Marjorie would bring something to sell
If you said “no thank you” she would try to guilt you into it
“I will give them to you if you cannot...

Two Oldsters
I clip on a leash so I can try to hold her back.
My old friend will prance all the way down the block and back.
She’s frightened of noise from the garbage truck.
And early morning before...

Why Can'T I Be the Real Me
Why can't I be the real me
Instead of putting on airs to impress
If I really didn't care what people thought
I could go to the mall in a dress
Right away I'd be labeled as kinda unusual

A Buck and a Half
I once thought,
in fact I knew,
that I would live to be,
150.
In all my arrogance,
I thought it was simply
a matter of will.
I saw all those oldsters,
staggering around,
with their walkers,
dim eyes and
fearful stares,...

I Am a Chameleon
The world is changing so rapidly
I feel like a chameleon who has lost the race
I am changing as hard and fast as I can
And still I get left behind in swamps of confusion

Summer Comming
Summer Coming
Oh, I love the
summer coming!
This must be when
the oldsters said
”A new and better
land, lets go!

before our very eyes
and leave
room for the
children too....

When did I get old
we are all drones on the freeway today
hardly any excitement this side of the bay
then two crazy racing drivers head our way
They whip past me, one yellow, one gray
Youngsters I think rolling my hazel eyes
Unsure...

Young people coming up through the ranks
For their mentors' devotion giving thanks

Perils of Being a Senior
Our phone has rung six times in an hour.
The same speech.
A robot offering us senior services.

Three Sides to Every Story
My lifetime friend, I feel so odd.
I'm not insured for acts of God.
Everything, it seems, is lost or gone.
I can't feel the ground I stand upon.
Today, we oldsters sat down to look
inside your yellow paged...

A Lazy day on a Porch
Dog is lying in the shade, his butt under the car’s tire
I bask in the sun, loving the Vitamin D
Wind picks up in a savage way
Shiny coral leaves dance in a macabre way
Dead, they forgot...

Proms and Graduations Cancelled
Proms are cancelled all over the world
Graduations? Not this year
I feel so sorry for the seniors
Both kinds of Seniors
The oldsters because they are vulnerable
The young ones because so many of their dreams are cancelled
No prom
No...
