1861
Dust rises from the rutted road. Cannon laden caissons rumble slowly forward. A red sun competing with the campfires glow. Weary troops break camp, joining the ranks of
colleagues on the move. An enemy,...

Can'T Touch My Toes
Woke up this morning
With news headlines spawning
I do not know if it's winter yet
Because of old age I often forget
Got to realise how weird it is
When I can brush my teeth
And scratch my nose
But try...

November's Gifts
Ten swift turns of the calendar's pages bring me to November,
when autumn breezes sweep clinging leaves from their trees.
They lie in heaps on the ground, carpets of crimson and gold.
Misty rain falls from cloudy skies...

Myrtle the Turtle
Myrtle the Turtle
There once was a turtle named Myrtle.
She could speed through a maze and climb a hurdle.
While she was small, she was a friend to all.
And remained safe from a kitchen overhaul.
Years passed as...

Where I
Where we run
Where we slide with ease
Where we push forward rapidly
Where we dare to be something we most possibly could not
Where we hope in view of real failure
Where we dance
Where we scream
Where we gaze...

Misplacing China
I've almost forgotten it.
It got too big -
holes appeared,
entire towns fell through
my memory.
The Forbidden City
is a convoluted red and gold ribbon,
my mind cannot now untangle.
Images float off the ink
of curling maps.
Snapshots flutter
like flags in a...

I Can Make You Dance
I can make you dance
hum to songs sang soft or loud beneath the setting sun,
tap and clap to the quickstep jumps and turns and runs;
you could spin and twirl and glide along...

The Last Dance
While careening with Carene,
a boogie-woogie with Wanita, wow!
Then, a whirl with Pearl,
a jiggy jig with Jacqueline.
At intervals rhumba with a Rosalie.
An experimental ballet
with Bonnie, Bob, and Blaire.
Thanks, Charlie, for the Cha-cha-cha!
A quick shimmy with Shailene,
disco...

Storm Dance
We danced quickstep before the storm
my pups eager -- eyes wide
we raced in the rustling grasses
the early winds whispering beware to the trees
then the rushing air and the sky drumming began

The Bluebell Wood
Green velvet-covered limbs rest
on carpet of azure and amethyst.
Chandelier light spilling out
golden shards, illuminating
figures dancing a quickstep.
Orchestra on the wing, melodic,
worshipping delights of Spring.
Whispering of huge, ancient oaks,
fluttering green foliage, re-birth,
emerging from winter’s long...

Dance Party In Summer
dance party of summer
blue waves rock and roll
seashore tides shimmy and shake ~
sunlight tap dances
white clouds pirouette
delphiniums deep plies ~
ebb tides grand jettes
meadows slowly waltz
forests polka with raindrops...

Put Your Dance Shoes On
Put on your dance shoes,
come take my hand,
We’ll Waltz through dreams in a ballroom grand.
Tango! calls with a fiery chase,
Two hearts meet in a bold embrace.
Salsa! spins in the tropic glow,
fast feet flash as...

I Never Danced
I never danced not a stride
hard as I tried
the rhythm and the songs
pushed two left feet along
ever turning to the right
but I watched you in the midnight light.
A spin, a twirl

Wilder and Wilder Dancing
Frenzied, melodic tunes are playing, in the lime green forests,
In whistles, croaks and chirping, where jade growth is lawless,
And nature is humming and dancing, all over the azure world-
Then colors dance on even skies, where...
