The PondDuring our time spent in old Blue
There was a pond up the road
That we liked to go to
Didn’t matter if it was hot or froze
When we were bored
Off to the pond we’d go

Last Night With GucciDark serene
Alone and together
My world in chaos
Vocational anxiety
Financial sobriety
Yet all matters not
As I look to my right
Gaze at my Gucci
Amazed by her will
Her zest for life
Amidst physical turmoil
A ruthless journey
Made tolerable and enjoyable
By quintessential Alpha...

Country LaneI peer back thro' the mists of time and view a country lane,
That meanders thro' the woods and across the Hoosier plain.
I see a country lad in overalls and floppy hat of straw,
Ambling along barefoot,...

Black RailDo you hear the devil's laughter?
low within the marsh waters
rustling high the tree tops

but within a smirk of doubt
Don't tilt the boat least you fall in
and a fat gator eats you alive...

My Own Private CanterburyWhen we retired we were so inspired:
To live free and rest from our labors.
This mobile home park has lived up to the mark,
But oh, goodness gracious, the neighbors.
Jay the old peeper can snoop through the...

Her Snapping TurtleIn a stream of murky waters deep,
Where secrets and shadows forever creep,
Lives a creature fierce and ancient, bold,
A guardian of tales as yet untold.

I Wade Into the PrairieI wade into my creek...
I wade into the Prairie
Crayfish scuttle about my feet
I can feel its slippery algaed rocks
slide perilously under my feet.
The sun is high
90 degrees, even in shade
in this stiffling July heat
Not a...

A Summers' Day In FloridaThe lake shimmers in the early breeze
Dancing rivulets of light kissed by the rising sun,
Reflecting passing clouds hopscotching with such ease
It heralds a new day just now begun.
Observing its environs with majestic grace
An Ibis...

The Old PondAn old pond full of plops
with jumping fish and Bobber drops
From my pole, As I cast a line
I sit to watch the clouds blow by
A snapping turtle rises up
His leathery head, like a log

the shame of it all
riot horse clickity clackity
peace shackled
mankind sputters

Snapping TurtleSnapping Turtle
Brawny and mean
The reptile is seen
Oozing out of the mire
Like a prehistoric dinosaur.
