Bittersweet Kiss
We flirted and got closer throughout the day.
Not wanting to get caught, I pray in vain.
Our plans were just a matter of waiting.

She Said I Will Be Back In a Jiffy

It’s okay to be ... me.
Exercising the brain. Setting it free.
Always seeking for more.
Never give up, never surrender
To be right all the time is a flaw
Just striving to be the...

For My Dad On His One Hundredth Birthday

your presence, your spirit,
a feeling, like fingertips

If I Were Your Love
Three-hundred milligrams
Approximately one-hundredth of a fluid ounce
Three-hundred milligrams of water a day, I’d die
Three-hundred milligrams of caffeine after three
I find myself staying up all night
Thinking of you.
What else is there to think of?
How something measured...

Captain Tom
By Jan Beaumont ©
He was somebody we'd never heard of
Just a man quietly living his life
But a man who'd seen things that he shouldn't
Like battle and horror and strife.

Summer Going Into the Fifth Grade
Up on our old tar roof, Friday night, I watched football
the high school was about a mile from my house.
You could always hear it at night.

Caldwells Trail
"Time to go, I'll see you folks"
A wave and he was gone
just like every year before
he never lingered on
Always got right to the point

but never in a rush
They...

The hurricane is coming toward the shore
at a meager seven miles an hour.
I can see it days before it arrives.
It feels like it is inching toward us, taunting us.
When it arrives, everything...

The Guildhall clock chimes
Eleven times this special day,
A great silence descends as
The two minutes tick away.
On parade at the Cenotaph,
An old man among old men
(Where did the years go for
In my mind I’m young again):

A Lesson Learned
Toadstools shouldn’t tower so;
A blade of grass be taller than I.

This really is an awful surprise -
Either I’ve woken in...

One Cent
They say you are not worth much these days.
However, in monetary transactions, your presence stays.
In stores and banks, you can always be found,
even though some folks will not pick you up from the ground.
You have...

The Cent
There isn’t much value to the cent today.
It is still one-hundredth of a dollar.
Inflation has eroded its value away.

One won’t put...
