I’ve written about the day before Christmas…then added Christmas Day into the mix…
So it only seems appropriate that I write about December 26.

So…happy day after Christmas…like Christmas it’s a day that can enchant and captivate…but...

Velociraptor Victims

Here are the French Connection facts,
Monsieurs and Madames
No need for reverse English translation,
Ladies and Gentlemen

Step carefully ... 
You’re now at the yellow tape border of 
a Jurassic Park murder scene investigation
Here’s robo Rico “Bio-Class II”...

My Name Is


Anonymity is my name
Alcohol was the beast 
I couldn’t tame
At another Double A meeting
get to hear some more shame
Rehashed, 
warmed over war stories,
they all sound the same
Now, it’s my turn
to go to the center of...

Why Worry

Why worry...?

Within the same breath
yukon catastrophize and
make mountain range
out of molehill mental material
impossible to scale
even with best Sherpa as guide.

Take advice from expert
what if...worse case scenario
time and again no fiasco
never makes cerebral showdown

most horrendous debacle
defies...

Sherpa Musings

upon reaching the frozen summit,
the mountaineers jump in jubilation,
then proudly unfurl and firmly plant
the damp flag of their faraway nation;

oh, how they noisily whoop it up,
strutting in chest-thumping elation,
slapping each other's shoulders
in riotous joy and...

We're on a journey of exploration, a long-deferred vacation

We've been so busy surviving, striving, never quite thriving

I Dream Poetry


From time to time,
I suffer from poetic insomnia ...
sleep deprived makes my muse grumpy
Even I don’t want that sulking soul around me
Dreamless nights
makes my pen yield lethargic writes
No creativity ... no spontaneity,
just listless words on...

No Place Like Home

I'd love to visit Holland
To wear those wooden shoes
Or maybe, down in Memphis
I'd learn to sing the blues

If I could learn the language
I'd love to visit France
I've heard it said that Paris
Is the place to...

The Journey

I was bored and strapped for cash,
Badly needing a vacation.
So I took a voyage of the mind,
With my vivid imagination.

Across the open seas I sailed,
To some far and distant lands.
While perched atop a camel's back,
In...

In Search of Manhood-Animus

To be a man in a world of false men
And keep honor as a good Sherpa guide
To not lose dignity in the lion's den
And stay ever humble before such pride

To know that character, is coin...

Mountain

Mountain 

No sherpa, rope
Or faithful steed
In stocking feet
I do proceed 

Each day I climb
Relentless slope
To rest my weary head
And hope 

That once the peak
Of my desire
To elevated place
Aspire 

Concludes. 

No flag or 
Selfie pose will...

Terrible Geography

The mind has peaks
no Sherpa knows
sudden drops
where thoughts
thin out
like oxygen
at twenty thousand feet.

Avalanche thoughts
bury certainty. 
Your grip tears skin
on ice-sharp edges
of almost-understanding.

Below are the
crevasses deep 
as yesterday's regrets, 
echoing 
familiar voices
lost in white.

Wind cuts through
the...

Still the rumbling heart with a hand in mine

To share and comfort when...

Where Frozen Embryos Still Burn

The claret globe it fills the sky
for landing time will soon draw nigh.
Now wake from cryogenic sleep
those who Earth's promises must keep,
our sixteen finest, bright and bold
to set red planet's first threshold.
For their tasks, specially...

Rubaiyat For the Climbing Poet

While I blew on my hands and held my tongue
A startling star swung out of the sky,
And though to gravity need not comply,
Descended to ledge where envious clung.

Of course we all would climb to the...
