The Tower
Standing at the edge of the canyon,
its crest wreathed in swirling clouds of fog
the tower looms on the plain,
incongruous, like blood on a bridal gown.
Zedar has come to investigate.

God, how I hate (when I can't go to sleep),
HATE the feeling sleep never will come.
In moments like this, I wonder if my death
Might be a lover with real potential,
Though the possibility of soul being...

To Live, Flightless Birds
A single branch, clawed and pecked, fickle and straining,
Lonely Nestling and father, paw and peck at their home
Lonely branch, spasms in the wind
Nestling and father paw and peck, yearn and whimper
These Flightless Birds, on a...

The Poor Man's Hope - Recited
The artiste's window gradually falling down
Holds the view of the prince's throne and crown
The ordered maidens, freely, the palace roams
Like leaves in autumn, dry, litter the roads
“Fall on your wounded knees and withered faith”,
The...

The Tower Part 2
Compelled by his native curiosity he makes his way
slowly, stumbling frequently. The walls are cold
and slimy to his touch. A rat skitters by his feet,
and he is conscious of a low murmuring...

Catch it, hold it
You snuggle in beside me,
claiming the crook of my arm,
like the last piece of our favourite puzzle
finally finding its place.
I rest my cheek against your precious head,
waiting for this moment to land
so I can try...

At One With the Sea
At One With The Sea
Lying on the sand the wave toppled over me
Before I knew it I was dragged far out to sea
I gulped in and struggled to find much needed air
But before I ran...

Bird Lover
Lately, as sure as the sun rises on the eastern horizon
A certain cheery robin [the same one every day] sits
On my porch railing and tells me Spring has arrived,
When I have acknowledged...

Silence and Sound
Silence, a gift that offers respite from sound.
Practiced by librarians and the palace guard duty bound.
A moment in night when all humans slumber,
Opportunity to reflect on all thoughts encumber.
But a world is found...

Saturday Morning
Distant babble, a shout, an egg beater,
What does the clock say?
More noise, a dream dancing just beyond memory’s reach,
Where are my glasses?
6:45, no, 8:54
I found them on the sill.
Down one, then two floors,
The babble becomes...

A sand dollar skitters in before its rushing wave.

Why I Write Poetry, With a Pen Tip of Honey
Though medicine tastes bad and bitter as it always skitters
On the tongue’s taste buds as the black sea on sand that glitters
It helps and uplifts the body to get fitter
Honey glazed on...

Orange Halloween
My favorite color during this season
Is surely the color orange
Pumpkins are a favorite of mine too
Jack-o-lanterns fill my house
And all over the outside
On the porch and the walk
Black lights also light up
All around the front...

The City Lights
At night the city glows with a thousand lights,
Towers of steel silhouetted against the sky.
They show their might without restraint...
Full of mystery and the promise of untold delights.
The dawn breaks, revealing the tired grey of...

Selkirk Alone 1707
Marooned the word
Waves hiss at my dilemma
And palms caress
The trade winds brought me here.
Sad flotsam serves
The stuff of my crude cabin
And jungle goop
A remedy
For skitters quite severe.
The hardy gulls
Companions each blue morning
Who show me...

AT LAST
On my veranda I watch beads of sweat

absence of idea or thought, a quiet...
