Anything For a LaughI’ve always been a prankster and a lover of a joke.
I love to see the puzzled look on an unsuspecting bloke,
when he looks around and lifts his hat - totally confused.
Some take a joke for...

Leaving a book incompletely read tantamount to being sacrilegiousPreface:
On February 4, 1861,
the seven states that had seceded
by this point convened and created
the Confederate States of America
under the leadership of Jefferson Davis.
Just under two months later,
on April 12, 1861, Confederate forces
opened fire on...

Humor MeI was a solemn person by nature, so my demeanor was always dignified,
Like the somber moon of nighttide, that sees vaguest dreams magnified.
Oh, I enjoyed having a good time, only I showed it in different...

Recollections From the Golden Cree IiiBrackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn -
Wherein contained:
Foreboding dialects delivered...

The Avenue of Gastronomic DelightThe Avenue of Gastronomic Delight
Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;
In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;
Lured by...

Sylvia's Double LifeShe bustles
her boys out of bed
grouse, groan, growl
groggy gripes
snarky snipes, as they squabble
their way to breakfast
Packs their lunch
crunch, smack, munch, they eat
hurry boys-
catch the bus
flurry and fuss all the way
outdoors, scuffing floors
She sighs, so
relieved, can't...

Navigating Outward Bounds of RelationshipsVolition, orientation familiarization aahing

inviolable honorable gentility -

willfully skirting, panting (heavily)

The Fruit ManRemember Beefsteak Charlies?
I don’t remember the last time I saw one
but every time I see one of those
tomatoes, I remember Charlie
my Charlie, the one who befriended me
he didn’t have to, after all
he was my grandfather.

Koala Bay, Jervis Bay, AustraliaAt dawn the bay bed glows peachy yellow.
The waters above blue-green and gleaming.
Further out a grey shroud of ripples entraps the yachts
with lace nets en-snaring a flock of hulls.
Yet farther out still, the sea...

Beyond the Sea BreakersI
The turbulent, windy sea calls me,
where wild foam waves break on ageless rocks,
crashing unfailing, unfading, where sea birds
are singing from overhead, and great swirls of
whitecaps scream and above the sky is azure,
beyond the breakers.

Wood Burning Stove WeatherWhile outside nor'easter
howls like banshees

into low double digits
fire breathing friendly

crackling hearth,
yours truly snuggling
close proximity warming,
thawing, quelling...
cockles and muscles
atavistic visitations hover
brushes within subconscious
purring, mew zing catacombs
kickstarting, harkening,
dawning... Homo sapiens

The Shameless PlugSo you’re all probably thinking
that these winter months sure are dull,

StumpsClose to election time, we have the chance
to hear the candidates for office speak,
or “stump,” in nearby towns, to give their stance
on issues and improvements that they seek,
to promise they will strengthen all that’s weak.

Who Was That GuyI look back now at age fourteen,
when life was but a rollicking dream,
when the world was adventure building,
when action films were still thrilling.

I can’t help but ask,
