The Pink Dress Mess
I'm eight years old,
And I'm in a mess.
We have not that much money,
not even enough, to buy my sister a dress.
So think, think, think. What can I do?
I can go door...

Melon Rind Green
Life was hard when growing up cus I was poor.
Farm work always needed doing, chore after chore,
wearin' hand-me-downs, never gettin' new toys.

When he said good-bye to eight

Perfect time to celebrate
Picked wild flowers in the thicket
Made a circular bouquet

First Nation Cafe
She loved our First Nation Cafe
from the primal blessed moment
just before she first could not yet think
of this cooperatively-owned communal place.
As other than some sacred space
She has liturgically revisited
and faithfully communed each starlight night
within secular...

The Last White Rose of Summer 2020
I watched it as it was born in the drenching rains of spring,
Cool condensation drops left over from winter's cold,
As it grew and grew and finally pedaled
Into a white, but, quite young...

Buried Green Bottles
As I took my initial sip of beer
in that dusky bar on that rainy
night in Amsterdam,
I forgot about Van Gogh
and the canals and tulips,
and was right back in Smithtown.
The first beer I...

Carnival of Mirrors
Under a sun scorched sky,
I stood on the dust of your shores.
Before opening my eye,
to the wonder of your worlds.
Without perceiving the temple
I had entered to worship,
to your altar, I pedaled,
pleading case with trembled lip.

Close Encounters of the Bully Kind

Halloween on the Hill
Sit still in your chair, little one, and I'll tell the tale
of my true Halloween story and my sad travail.
I was a kid just like you, eating my frosted flakes.
I asked mom for more sugar,...

Weekend Warrior on a Bicycle
I cycled to Hawthorne before the dawn,
Saw a deer on Taxter Road leading a fawn.
I reached a field of the kids little League.
Waited for the train, too pumped for fatigue.
The train passed by lakes of...

Beauty of Poetry
Giant blowing winds like slabs of butter.
Meltdown like frozen cubes of ice.
Leaves blowing around as trees go bare.
I plant my garden of words and watch them bloom.
From the beginning of time, people spoke their...

My Son's Birthday Memento
At 1-year-old, you received your first party
First birthday cake, gorgeous and fancy
My first ever speech to the crowd
Proud as a father, I avowed
At 2 years old, with chubby cheeks
Full of motion of hands and feet
Gathered...

A Glimpse of Life’s Journey
One weary dusk, after a day of teaching’s strain,
I pedaled my bike through the traffic’s refrain.
The smog of exhaust kissed my tired face,
As car horns screamed in their frantic race.
The gut feeling above my head...

When the bathroom calls your name
I had cycled to Upper Montclair
It was humid, hot, smoke in the air.
I was sweaty, and smelled of Deet
circles under my eyes, and I was beat.
It was Sunday, I'm agnostic, or I'd be in church
Anyway,...

Obsession of Soaps
OBSESSION OF SOAPS
obsessed with the daylight hours
specifically the graven-image afternoon
like high place dungeon towers
calgon’s commercial didn’t “take me away”
but a clever string of soaps did the trick

Animal
Animals in top hats,
Ride bicycles en road,
Spoked wheels and pedaled spats,
Round about, in ornamental spode.
Animals in monocles,
Spectate in obeisance,
Cuffed by inked chronicle:
Renascence-linked complacence.
Animals in Model Ts,
Toot along en route,
To queue below burlesque marquee,
Bloating bruit...
