When farmers would sell their wares
Of fruits and vegetables they had planted
To feed the town folks, and balance a budget
In exchange, for clothes, sundries and junket
For the...

Feels Like a Saturday
My childhood of the 1960's,
all those years ago,
feels like a Saturday in my
journey nostalgic.
The Cowsill's song "Flower Girl,"
their purity of song, of smiles.
A daydream streams,
of running in a field wearing
my Keds,
a sea of daisies and...

Mama Em
My days were short but God has lengthen them;
My body sometimes hurts, but that's because of sin-nature;
God is such a beautiful King;
Back in my day (I'm not that old);
As a child you always had to...

TRUMPETER SCUMBAGSAURUS

That we could call erections “made in USA”

And another...

Ethel Hurst

Like a single blade of grass after a spring rain.
I played a multitude of hop-scotch games
With my best friend Hannah on Penn Street.
And sipped a hundred ice...

Couplet
When I look at you, silhouettes spread through time
When I look at you, silhouettes spread through time,
Variations of life, in the curtain of stars,
As children, we lured each other with a warm thought,
Down an alley, where you brought me a large beetle,
And on...

Jordan
Miss Jordan —
Are you satisfied?
Living in a world
Where hopes and efforts never collide,
Where all abide by someone else's design.
Would you simply resign?
It's peculiar how you're blind —
Self-imposed by your own mind.
Could you just stop and...

Eclipse of a Friday's Child
“ECLIPSE OF A FRIDAY’S CHILD”

Around fellowship-bond and Scriptures' steadfastness…

Thoughts In a Truck-Stop Diner
This place is tucked out of the way,
across river from the city,
most folks don’t even know it’s here,
and I suppose that’s a pity.
Maybe the truck-stop that it serves
is what drives some people away,
but their hash-browns...
