WHEN SANTA CAME TO BENARTY
Santa came to Benarty
One cold and stormy night

Made Santa ground his flight.

He landed behind the graveyard
In Dallas Doyle Par...

in Scots venacular she chosd
Writing much poetry
in rhyme so lively...

Skein of Montrose Basin

...Flying wedge-like
as wool feathers the wind,
the geese are leaving the basin.

Where do they go?
How long till they arrive?
Will the plump make stops on the way?

At first a few
will arise t...

To Always Return

...For me,
one time is not enough
Canyons widen
neath mountain bluffs

For me,
each time lay unforeseen
Magic transient
—a richer dream

(Montrose Colorado: September, 2021)...

Lost and Found

...The bridge to belief
spans a river of doubt

Whose rapids are raging,
whose questions cry out

Sitting on my lover's lap.
His eyes as lovely as the spring-

Tribute To My Hometown

 In Montrose, PA
 Saw lots of folks

Look onto and pass, The city that never sleeps
An overwhelming sig...

   Who always was blowing his nose.
   There was soon an issue,
   When he missed his tissue
   And blew it all over his toes....

Eight Merry Maids of Montrose

...The eight merry maids of Montrose
Quite vexed that they can't touch their toes

began a regime
they worked as a team

but by Fall could just touch their nose


Discouraged they wept and just...

Uncle Jack

...Uncle Jack 
Was in the army 
We have the photographs 
To prove it 
Although the S badge 
Attached to the band 
Around his peaked hat 
Suggests blood and fire 
Rather than guns and ammo

We're approaching some place
Montrose I think

I can barely read it
My eyes are on the blink

I see no proof that the tube is moving
There is an engine,
At the front I think
But the black...

there lies a knowledge of paths
that lead in every direction that the

the very midst of chaos.
