A body on the battlefield that looks a lot like me!
Body parts are missing:there's blood everywhere...
The scene is so ghastly, that I can only stare.
Now the...

A Day To Remember
A day to remember; eleven September;
The year -two thousand and one.
Blue sky so pretty, over New York City,
The workday barely begun.

Out of the sky, with a terrible roar,
The first plane hit the Tower.
Soon into view,...

Having just come down from "Tulsey town" and Memphis by the way.

Spread the maps out on the living room floor,
Like I've done so many times before,
Getting ready for a trip to be made at a future date.

The Woodcarver
In the Forest, I stood straight and tall;
King of all I did survey;
Achoring soil;cleansing air;giving shade;
And doing other good works every day.

Ho! Yonder comes the Woodworker!
Now He has selected me!
When He grabbed His mighty saw...

But the parking lot action is about to begin!  
The first car pulls in ,followed by car number two.
Eight more will show up before they're all through.

Belt Driven
This is autumn; a time for fairs,
Where local farmers show off produce, from that land of theirs.
Livestock is also another big hit;
And some folks are enjoying the horse-drawing pit.
But in many states, as any midwesterner...

Getting High
Today I watched a couple of construction crews;
Totally facinated by some of the tools they used.
Their work required them to be up in the air,
Yet 'twas by different means that they got there.
One crew used...

The Old Truck In the Master's Hand
The old truck hadn't been used in a while,
But it should be good for a few more miles.
Under the hood, the engine was rusty,
And the interior smelled faintly musty.
Assuming it would start--we all wanted to...

Seen Only By God
Ka-boom! An explosion shatters the mid morning sky!
A new face of ledge now greets the eye.
Dynamite, in a skilled blaster's hands
Will create a new road to satisfy society's demands.
Drill time and load time never happen...

The Light Trilogy
A unique shape, composed of glass, steel and stone,
Expressly constructed to guide mariners home.
Magnifying lenses would help focus a solitary beam,
So that far out in the darkness, the light could be seen.
The LIGHTHOUSE! I know...

When I was just a young lad.
I recall going with my Dad,
To visit older folks in town;
Those who had no family around.
Adin was one we would stop in and see,
A lonely man, much older than...

The Spiritual Side of Pizza
"Pizza and soda, there on the table;
Dig in, and eat as much as you're able."

As I gazed upon that pizza pie!

Little lads, out in the yard;
Life-long buddies who love to play hard.
When Mom calls them in, they are quick to mind.
Yet all of their toys get left behind.
A truck, a ballglove or some other thing

Battle-Scarred Veterans
The old"yeller" cat, perched on the step,
So battle-scarred and worn;
He relished the warmth of the sun on his bones,
On that sweet,spring morn.

One ear was permanently bent over,
And the other--well, that was half gone.
These were long-healed...

The Canyon
Floating down the river,
In my tiny canoe;
Ahead lay a chasm
That I must pass through.
The current was so strong, 
That I could not turn aside.
There were many rocks, and rapids,
Through which I was forced to ride.

One Life
Her name was Miriam;
Joe Jacobson was his.
When I first encountered them,
They had no kids.
But she was pregnant,
In a most obvious way!
The city was bustling more than usual, 
And they had no place to stay.
They managed...

Going Home
I've lived in a manner I shouldn't have lived,
And squandered all my father had to give.
Feeding pigs in a distant land!
Will I ever again dine at my father's right hand?
I'm going home!

His father saw him...
