When we died no one cried .
We live like there's...

these are the words of a seeker of light
a believer in the knowledge of old
through our fathers we reach a new height
from their lives, and the stories they've told
we must never forget, or sunder the...

A Job For Godzilla
I’d made a tower, a wooden block tower that reached toward the sky
And on the roof stood my superman toy, I believed he wanted to fly.
He stood beside a Tonka truck that was parked safely...

Simple
Their hobby horse carved from wood
Upon metal frame and bouncy springs
Kept our boys on the trail of good
Rounding up outlaws and wild things
Hot wheel cars and yards of plastic track
Racing from living room to...

The Fun It Ends
The windows pane upon my face,
The door unlocks, I fall from grace.
My friend he screams, a crunch of steel,
Stabs of pain, then the blood I feel.
The car we stole, a ride...

A Grandmother's Wisdom
A Grandmother's Wisdom
All that my parents left me
could fit into a paper sack
carried like a leaden weight
strung across my broken back
A pair of bronzed booties
a jacket and Tonka truck
a small photo of Grandma
along with...

Those Were the Days
Memories of those childhood days
Laughing in the most silly ways
Playing tag and climbing trees
For hours and hours in Summer's breeze
Building snowmen in the Winter
Having Mom remove a splinter
Falling down and getting bruises
Coming up with lame...

God's Gift
Going ‘round about, up and down,
Always crawling out of bounds,
Big brown eyes, tiny pink feet,
Great big smiles, without any teeth.
Giggles and grins rule his day,
Play with me mommy his face seems to say.
My joy, my...

Weep No More- Doll
I was walking through the city streets
When I passed a foursome gang
Who were playing with a Tonka truck
And an old raggedy doll that sang
She sang about her unhappiness
Because her reddened...

The Evil Tornado
This poem was written on May 3, 2022,
When I heard the alerts for the next few days.
From 4-6 May 2022, 8-10 Tornadoes,
Hit Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.
There's the siren that sounds,
That sends fear thru our...

The Color Yellow
Dear Lord, you open my day
With a soft yellowish-glow
Filtering through morning’s mist
Rising from valleys below
Your sun moves from east to west
Radiating energy and light
Illuminating the world
Providing visual delights
The soft yellow roses abloom
With fragrant aromas found—
Marigolds...

Under My 8 Year Old Brothers Bed
Under my 8 year old brothers bed
lies my dog chewed Barbie, no sign of her head
a faded Snoopy cartoon, deflated yellow Birthday balloon
and one stuffed zoo animal baboon
Romote toy car from Uncle Tom
Cassette of Raffi,...

My Sandbox Is Posted Do Not Disturb
Baby, You're not mine
I'm not giving you the time
I'm too busy
writing my lines
in sweetness sublime
Baby, Get away
I don't want to play
With
Your sandbox of toys
Your mommy took away
I'll drive my Tonka truck
All over your face

What I Have Seen
What I Have Seen
Chubby fingers, chubby toes;
Clear blue eyes and turned up nose.
Everything's so bright and new,
Little Baby I love you.
Hop scotch, Barbies, long brown curls,
We thank you God for little girls.
Baseball diamonds, lots of...

The Great Gig In the Sky - 2020
We're nearing the end of another year
But this one feels different than before
As we mourn our heroines and hero's
Hearts of family and friends are sore
There's Eddy, Pete and Peter Green
They're guitarists in their own way
Lost...
