The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Iv
Pied tidings of suburbian
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among
Themselves -
Rush to steal
From off the beleaguered bird
tables,
To the annoyance of all concerned,
A much begrudged meal;
Before scurrying away into
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

And stargazing brought big excitement, and chills during many...

From The Workshop Collection: My Tree, My Friend
I want to believe
In that enormous green tree
Appearing here, alive in the spring
Foliage, decorating its thing
Bark firm and strong
I sit under, pondering life’s wrongs

My Scarlet Woman
Amongst the oaks and the maples and shrubbery so green
Runs a translucent flow, a stream so pristine
It's meandering contours hugging the land
Takes me back to the day, we met unplanned
The sky was pale blue on...

I was alone amid the choppy sea, baking under a watchful hot sun -
Near me were scary fins;...

Garden Oasis
Garden Oasis
Amongst the bees and the hummingbirds, I find my peace in my garden oasis.
My thoughts become sorted, by the peaceful purpose of eliminating weeds
The enemies of my soul.
We all have our place in the...

Through the window pane, through the...

I noticed her limp immediately
when she sat next to me on the bench
in the park outside of the Prado.
I inquired about her deep brown eyes
behind her octagonal glasses
that looked sad and defeated.
“I was robbed here...

Stage Fright
Silence...
...Just wait...
Wait a couple seconds...no, really.
Just WAIT...
In the distance,
a tremble of the air itself.
A subtle quiver of it's molecular structure.
A charge, causing your hair to come alive.

it blinds...

The Ruin
It stood on the top of the hill
dominating all of its surrounds.

spanning with ease the now dry moat.

Such hateful comments
So quick to take things out of context
On a nightly basis, I smoke and drink until I am unconscious
While close and far from flying objects
In a world full...

When I Stopped That Day To Pick Death's Rose
I heard a little rumor from
a stranger on the road today;
he wore a heavy veil of dusk
to keep the winter's song at bay.
His face was well concealed; although,
his shriveled hands had drawn my sight;
it seemed...
