Tell Her You Saw Me
Tell her you saw me ...
Tell her I was out on the bluff at the Cape
during a gale, much too close to the rocks.
Tell her the surf was tormenting the ledges,
its roar far too loud...

Behold Beatrice, Pitcairn
Behold Beatrice, Pitcairn
the paradise sunsets lie in Tahiti

islands, sanitoriums, deluded, denuded
limbos and purgatories, the never evermore

The Adventure Part One
The young lad sat in the old school room
To him the place felt like a tomb
He knew that he would be leaving soon
He felt restless
He got a job on the factory floor
This just seemed to...

They said the church works hard to discourage divorce
but many live separate and call it OK
Angry and...

He Walks No More
He walks the moonlit moor,
With eyes all aglow,
Hunting down his next victim,
Bringing death unto us all.
His ears are perked up,
Listening to the sounds,
That fill the night sky,
From the bats to faint footsteps,
And horses neighing in...

Descry a Skill, Decry It Not
I spied a ship and descried the flag it flew.
It was nothing like the flags I had seen before.
It was red and blue, with white circles and yellow stars
The highlights of white and yellow stood...

Pearl
The Polynesian pearl of the Northern Pacific,
A glittering paradise gleaming in brilliance,
Set float amongst the oceans clear waters.
A beautiful jewel reflecting in the different
Shades of aquatic blues.
The winds of peace blew in...

Tahiti Defined By Tahiti
The plague knew my infinite hulk
in 1769, crept through the Polynesian crystal
onto my outstretched archipelago
black sands and white sands and volcanoes
speaking the purple language,
the queen’s English to the farmer’s French,
and drank from the palm...

For More Effective Communication
Do you remember Helen Keller?
She was a really awesome speller
Who couldn't hear nor see nor speak,
So to communicate
She would ges-tic-u-late.
Marcel Marceau spoke perfect French,
But he was helpless in a pinch
Because a mime does not converse,
Or...

No Man's Islands
Like cold marble statues
stiff as vague mixtures
of alcohol that stings of spirits,
cheap as famished souls.
Once were unique and proud,
now the vanishing isles!
A struggle to keep adrift
to face the blue sky vast
and unyielding, matching

a
bullied pencil pusher sitting upright at mid afternoon.
so thin his ergonomic spinal robot as he leans back
in his plastic office chair.

My Girlfriend
Many years before I had a girlfriend
We shared our views as done by each good friend,
Together most of the play time we spend.
For some work, once grandpa came to attend.
Introduced her to grandpa. He...

Poetic Stories of Native Americans
Hunger led you through
the Bering Straits
to discover new possibilities
in the foreign, distant land.
You were hunters, brave and great,
chasing animals for your survival,
walking thousands of miles –
hunting to sustain existence.
Your other brothers,
set sail in their...

Oriental Wind Chimes
Laying here in the cut with eyes closed,

In my heart, I feel universal love ...

Ricky, you may have been around the world.
You have seen many different flags unfurled.

The Navel of the World
Polynesian Island
In the Pacific south east
Starved of trees
For a transporting feast
Stone idols
Moai, they are called
Some unfinished
Standing tall
This island of the extinct
Three volcanoes in all
Terevaka, Poike and Rano Kau
As years passed
Statues were toppled
Civil...
