they gathered the kids around, read...

A lone rider sits high in the saddle,
As the horizon's sunrise spreads across,
The open prairie.
Twin pearl handed pistols rest at his side,
As rusty spires clang against wooden planks,
At the deadwood saloon.
Legends cowboys whisper his name,
On...

Johnny stutters when he's nervous
Gina skipped to school one day
Janice lost her favorite ruler
In the backyard yesterday

Where is my pizza
It was in the microwave
Someone came and ate it up
And left the crumbs right here

Lies a stock pond full of fish,

I'm not much of a people person
so the social distancing is no problem
I actually prefer 6 miles between
myself and the nearest person

might be a slight improvement
I'm enjoying the open roads

World of violence

As the morning  slowly  breaks
and, daylight in fil trates...
I feel,
the sunshine-   burn away the grey

confiscate the rain...

Just a casual experiment, a new direction,
a bit of slime, residue of past process
left unattended in a remote corner obscure,
to grow, to morph, divide in diverse pattern.

Smaller than simple sight by naked eye,

In the woods...

You can find that mysterious place
Where solace, is best described as grace
That place where man and mind, can talk
And when needed, rearrange his heart

Here, there are no printed rules to see

Injustice

The rain falls on the slothful and the hardworking
The accident of birth is where you land
Poverty or wealth
Education or illiterate
Abuse or stability
Want or abundance
Opportunity or obstacles
Violent murderers go free
While beautiful children suffer abuse
Illness ravages the...

SPROUTING IN LIFE'S PLANTATION

In this garden where only the strong survive,
As seeds, some travail while others thrive.
Planted with care by The Gardener here & there, 
Scattered across the earth life gives it share.

Distant mountains, a purple haze,
Kangaroo stands up to gaze,
Station horses and sheep graze,
On an unforgiving plain.

Red gums line a bone-dry creek,
Pink galahs swirl and shriek,
Bones are bleaching from the weak,
On harsh and dry terrain.

Soaring high...

Start now knowing joy,
that’s an order,
overcome a deepening solitude.

Like a bee at a bugle
or me at the deli
on Third Avenue.

I said to Joe when do you think this weather will break?
He jokes, April. 
That’s no...
