Because the charity of my native place
Obliged me, the broken branches I the picked up

Then we finally reached where had to leap
From the second turn to third, and...

Where Gladiators Fought

Part I

Where gladiators fought for life,
we meet to fight for love
The constellations in the Roman night sky,
celestial spectators, bathe the Colosseum
in the white blood of light
The night is throbbing with the heat of our battle,
our...

Grit and Guts On the Gridiron - 1

Mud and leather
dirt and nerve
bloodied laughter
collision to serve,
distance, drive and demolition
battle axe ambition in the wild air
muscle and mind joined in steeled instinct, 
a stitched pigskin ball, the grail of the Fall
to fumble it means...

Pine sap pipe

In the deep spiked pine forests

On a walk you forgot you took

Snow up your knees

Twenty feet away

An enormous old house

Not abandoned, smoke from the chimney

Large windows, dark wood walls

A forest castle here for you 

To explore...

Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

A Visit From Santa Claus

It was Christmas Eve, not a soul made a sound,
And not so much as a mouse could be found,
The children had hung their stockings on the hearth,
As a quiet, peacefulness gently fell upon the Earth,

The Magazine Bus -- New Orleans August 1963

I stood and cried in The Magazine Bus,
Deep in New Orleans, in the city rush, 
as it plowed and choked along
like a curved-back dinosaur
wheezing through the swampy ways, 
rattling electric wires in a maze
of strangling...

To Live, Flightless Birds

A single branch, clawed and pecked, fickle and straining,
Lonely Nestling and father, paw and peck at their home
Lonely branch, spasms in the wind
Nestling and father paw and peck, yearn and whimper
These Flightless Birds, on a...

Ode To Mischief Lotus

My cat is a rescue me,
The abandonment of loneliness
He had his Forever Home promise
My love and affection were his.

See, he turns out to be, 
Complete contentment we shared
Mutual grounds in battles, here
We did not care...

One Speaks Aloud

Soul stripped.

Flesh ripped. 

Hope lost.

Time moves on not heeding the cost.

Hurt buried aside in the ditch.

Anger flares like a flip of the switch.

Fist tenses,
Wrenching blood from within.
Fingers pawing at the line of life,
White with streaks...

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

Where Are You

To 
the 
Church..To 
the 
Mosque
To 
the 
Temple!
From 
the 
dawn 
Of 
our 
Republic
We 
have 
honoured 
you
And 
exalted 
you
You 
have 
marked 
the 
way
And 
we 
have 
followed
You 
have 
lit 
our 
steps
From 
the 
old 
times
But 
today 
we 
ask
Where

Winter

Winter is now showing. You can tell it by the falling snow. Its flowing down from

When the niceties were over, the voice inquired
"How is it going with the gardening today" quite sincerely
I could not refrain and out of exuberance, desired
to extol the virtues and due...

Gifts of the Night

Faint stillness of the night falls swiftly down 
and masked raccoons now pillage darkest night. 
Fluffed owls with sparkling eyes are flying free 
and rabbits, gently moving, sniff the air... 
The hounds - from hunter...

Susie and Lester

If you have a puzzle to put together,
best to own a cat to paw and ponder
the jigsaw path, fur flying,
schnozes sneezing, eyes squinting,
fingers tweezing.

Separation anxiety, as you figure out
which pile, to adopt, for each piece,

October 31

The night of frights.
I was a vampire.
She was a witch.
He was the Grim Reaper.

Second neighborhood
Sore stomachs
Sore feet
Sore mouths from smiling
Bags a little heavier
Shoulders a lot lighter

Third neighborhood
She laughed too wildly
But we all did
I assumed it...

a middle ages drunk stood over in the

somewhere in the alley behind the
