Summer Sun
Summer meant playing with cousins
Until the fireflies started to dance and glide
Soaring just beyond our small hands
And, then, sometimes reaching the end
Of a journey inside a Mason jar
Summer meant riding with the window down
In a...

Old-School Gentleman's ClubA pool table lined with blue felt
sports a lively, raucous game,
ivory cracks, the men drink,

Of a series quite well known
With weekly visits to a world
Named the "Twilight Zone"

Gather in a large closet up in the attic,
Where junk of memorabilia resides
Untouched for years as I scan the heap
Of treasures accumulated: a prom's corsage

Into the VoidPaperbacks tell the tales
Of those lost in time
They occupy your intellect
You slowly waste your mind
Like television and internet
There are worse ways to unwind

Dig deeper into the manuscript
You'll...

the trivia of the past.
Old receipts pushed to the backs of drawers,

Physicality of a BookBooks line my bookshelves, dog-eared with love.
Hardcovers, paperbacks and a few leather-bounds.
Some classics, some romances and poetry abound.
Rummaging in used bookstores plays out in my mind.
I'm always seeking out those special finds.
I'm drawn to the...

All worn upon my breast.

Paperbacks and Gluttony
I’ve read too many
Words – adjectives and adverbs
Poetry and prose
Both delicious with color
And captivating with feeling
