Over the Edge

Jack and Sam
were two inseparable souls
Best friends tend to be like that,

They were two good looking kids,
who liked to play rough and tumble
Didn't mind scraping their knees...

When he gave her a dreadful fright
Ripped off his jumper revealed his string vest
Showing snippets of his hairy chest

This Mom Needs a Hug

I hugged my sons today between the chaos and play. 
They normally rush through the everyday hugs 
(the quick pat, while they pull away, kind of hugs),  
but I cried today, heard about too...

Bosom Buddies

Resting there, beneath the sod,
Lie two young, bosom friends.
They shared the joys and toils of life,
From childhood, down in Texas,
To this grassy knoll where their story ends.

Gummy Bear in the Sawatch Range

There were infinite shades of green
a few angelic scented cascades 
a pair of brown birds sang to me
I tossed a bit of chocolate on the pine needle carpet.
They beaked the pieces and quickly flew off,...

Days of Forever

Days of Forever
 
With every day,
we plant a bit
gather a bit,
use a bit.

Time’s waning irrigation
renders dry many tributaries.

From high in the ethos-sphere
some of purity’s regeneration
meanders down rivulets of calm
while certain regrets clamor endless echoes
from mind’s...

I thank the heavens for this darling boy 
who's given my life new purpose, joy. 
This little scrap of humanity, who sits 
on my knee and expounds my vanity 
and completely disarms me with his...

A Friend In Need

A friend in a pinch is seldom a cinch
to be found in a world uncaring.
Some might offer aid, then want to be paid,
with an attitude overbearing.

Friends made from the heart will never depart
though the way...

I know why you follow him. 

Dolls can never admit a rough and tumble 
bad boy is what they want. In your stainless

Cyncical

I’ll tell you now “forever” is an awesome concept, 
Yet promises made unto it are very seldom kept.

Believe me that “for always” doesn’t truly exist,
In the heat of a moment bondage is hard to resist.

Killing Ants

Ants are known to be industrious,
Bustling about the anthill
In lines and arcs and freeform patterns,
Intent on some important insect mission,
Minding their own business, thank you.

Of course, sometimes ants have to be exterminated
If they’re likely to...

Rise Up

Our feet bleed,
Stepping
Upon shards of glass
As we trod 
This rough-and-tumble path
that is life.
It's a vast, rugged terrain
Full of roadblocks,
Yet we walk it, 
Day after day
Not knowing when 
It will trip us up
And it inevitably will,...

Her Identity

She was never a girly girl
did not care about wearing her
mother’s high heel shoes,
or painting her nails.
Wasn’t interested in putting on lipstick,
or smearing makeup on her face.
Had no attraction to the color pink
like most girls...

A Fairy Tale (sonnet)


On a forest’s lawn, where elves dance on nocturnal summers,
snow had fallen. Since the little people wears no shoes their
 dainty feet can only bear ductile mould and grass in slumber.

The Fracturing Empire

The top has always been nothing but rough and tumble.
But things really started to get bad when the bottom began to crumble.
Race and gender have always needed to have been handled carefully.
Now it's catching fire...

Freedom In a Frame

Once I saw a lovely frame
Rough and Tumble was its name
It was a captured moment of freedom
A moment of nature at its peak.

I saw the waves in this frame
It's frenzy, won the dancing game
Beautiful blue...

Old Age

Dawn seeps soundlessly in to scatter the darkness.
Around is silence and quiet and calm.
From my lofty balcony, I can admire the serenity
Of the vast immensity of the ocean, all smell of balm.

Let tranquillity invade my...

Election Time, Fun Time

It’s fun time
Election time
Don’t say
I don’t care a dime
If this is so
You’ll miss 
The highs and the lows
Some call it
Dance of Democracy
But you see
It’s no graceful dance
But Shiva's ‘Tandav'
Pulls, pushes and shoves
This is politics'
Rough and...
