A Word Vs the Word
As I sit in crumbling sand, that’s laced between my toes,
I wonder.
The gentle breeze caresses my cheeks,
whilst the wind plays daintily with wisps of fringe.
Faces are but a distant silhouette in orange hue.
I watch as...

Tiny Dreams
It was 6.15, in the morning,
I was in a deep sleep,
The rising sun pierced the thatched roof and made my skin burn,
I wrapped the blanket tight - no use it was...

Environmental Pollution
The release of the naked sword of marine oil spills
From the window and door of offshore platforms drilling rigs,
From the arena of natural oil sips to execute our living meals.
Petroleum hydrocarbon spreading its tentacle...

The Whittlers
The Whittlers
The stately county courthouse was their usual meeting place,
a columned Greek Revival, and a lovely public space.
They sat upon their benches under lofty pecan trees,
wood shavings on their ankles and some cedar twixt their...

In a room stark & white
A nightmare he will ride tonight
Twisted sheets in a rider's grip

silently he screams & shouts

Wizened skin like burnished leather
Thin, grey and long, disheveled hair
Clear, sharp blue eyes that seem to stare
Through sun scorched face, alert, aware
A ‘lived-In’ face that’s so expressive
Tales he tells read like a missive
His arms and...

My Neighbourhood
The road to my backyard is long and straight
Evergreen trees abound and provide welcome shade
Home to myriad birds, butterflies and the bees
Last summer their branches were sawn off, without notice
The orgy with power-saws lasted barely...

Addding It All Up
my agent grew nervous

like the rising sun
on a sea of shark fins
that one must gauge and become the gauge
what is it that heralds an improved model
claiming to have superior knowledge
my hospital masturbates...

Socialism Destroys
Radioactive fields where golden grain once grew,
magnificent churches, razed right down to the pew,
Kulak farmers starved out, four million of them dead,
free though and expression only lived in your head,
lives destroyed by camps, that archipelago,
how...

In Search of a Great White Butt Ox
We embarked on an adventure
That was quite quixotic
A scientific dream quencher
Searching for exotics
We started where we thought made sense
Out on the sunning docks
Where perhaps there’d be an immense
Native Great White Butt Ox
We packed all of...

Plastic Madness
Please bring back paper bags,
I cry in genuine pain.
Those tight wrapped plastic covers
are driving me insane.
With scissors, knives and razor blades,
I hack and cut and snip,
trying to get the product out
from its clinging, shroud like...

Flare Fishing
High pipe stacks venting hot burning gas
In the Gulf of Mexico where fishing a blast
Oil rigs vent natural gas that never stops
The hot flames create - crackles, snaps and pops
This hot burning flame is...

A Special Breed of Men
His old hands were calloused from all the many years of work and toil.
His life seemed to be his work and the never ending search for oil.

You marketing types love us.
Blue all over, fear of nothing a man can throw,
Quick to bow down when the boss come by...

A Back Seat With a View
Time to load up the family Dodge and hit the open road.
Our backs to California, the wheels rolling east towards the deep south.
Arriving by plane wasn’t an option, the car was our only transportation...

The Man From Fred
He was a sweaty little man
But tall in the saddle
He didn't know a lot of things
But he knew 'bout cattle
He was born just outside of Fred,
Almost a town - not quite
First thing he saw was...

Everything was in the right place; the shoes, books, furniture, utensils, remote control…. His house always smelled of fresh air, although it was hundreds of miles away from the ocean.
“Your house smells like a beach-house!”...
