White patchy clouds survey the blue sky,

With the colors red, green and gold passing by.
Jamaica play a key role bringing out the...

THE FLYING SCOTSMAN

The humblest being the nature’s child,
Dared to dream the strangest dreams,
Sailing the ship through the wildest storms!

Singing For Stevie's Wonder
I remember,
in the early 60s,
our thirty mile drive
from our historic family farm,
in all White rural Michigan,
not counting the Mexican migrant workers
which adults made a point of discounting,
on the first of several shopping trips to Thrifty...

Sitting
Feet on the ground
Looking down
For something to see
Music drifting
Through open windows
Words from a song
"It hurts to be in love"
Made me feel
Lost
Somewhere between fourteen and twenty.
A...

A Flower Vase on Top of a Piano
My neighbor's piano swirls around her finger
likened to a keyed car where scrapes linger.
She teases out a tune as we both try to hum
along with swirling keys her fingers drum.

Do You Remember
Crawling across the floors
Trapped behind closed doors
Never wanting anymore
but to stay age 4
Do you remember childhood
Rolling through the grass
Excited for your class
Waiting for the time to pass
Do you remember the days
Pedaling on your bike
The girl...

Somewhere Under the Rainbow
Under the rainbow
we have blue skies and
amazing sunsets
Under the sunset
silhouetted chimney tops
on the horizon
Walking, looking up
not at familiar houses
but at shared heavens
I imagine, feel
I'm anywhere else
even out of state
Just strolling along
in the rural countryside
Or...

My Childhood Pathways
Oh, that magical age of 5 -that long-ago time
when memory sharpens and events recalled
get compartmentalized into something more
than mere wisps of mist! Infancy’s vast fog lifts!

The cotton candy clouds melted in my mouth
as I flew over the menacing tiger who was crouched
with his mouth open catching all my loose teeth
