Nearby Ghetto

i wish i didn’t* but
i have to get across town
so off i go taking the bus
that drives through a nasty ghetto
 
i’m shocked as i look out the window
to see several dismal characters
i can’t imagine the misfortunes
that has brought them there

they’re low, they’re high
or maybe that's just their life
being low in between their high

houses so

The Bird in a cage

Poem (The bird in a cage) 
Listen to my story of how I forgot
The days of freedom and nights 
I would fly with open wings 
And fellow birds through woods in sprite 
Hither and thither, fluttering 
Over gardens, mountain and trees 
And listening to sweet songs 
Of nearby birds, flying bees 
Unfortunately those cruel trapped

Quietly Nearby

. for public domain

She felt dry inside,
past the time of blooms,
a lost petal pressed between lost pages
of a dusty book, stored among relics
in abandoned rooms.

Yet quietly nearby,
Hope, not with a boast,
trumpeting a victorious symphony
of vain promises of a life renewed,
hovered like a ghost.

She smiled wistfully,
"Love may come once more,
from someone who needs a hug, or

On Weather Rely and Wintyer Nearby

On weather always rely,
Winter has been nearby
While riding in a coach,
We saw spring approach.

God with us again will be
Saved our souls and society
To my poem there is a catch;
Mine have been hard to match.

Spirit and Stone and a Great Lake Nearby

SPIRIT AND STONE &
A GREAT LAKE NEARBY

Her father was
a difficult contradiction,
annoyingly similar to a certain
type of teacher, minister or priest,
to a certain type of imam, rabbi
or occasional poet, a confounding
combination of spirit and stone,
a faith in the unseen somehow
beautifully draped over a granite
demeanor, almost comforting and loving,
sometimes righteous and wise, a bit
menacing in mixed company,

Devotion Poem, You Nearby

(Written for Jim)

Devotion Poem, You Nearby

You sit in a fog
Only right there,
Not because the weather has come inside,
But as my eyes no longer see so well...not
As well as my heart feels
You nearby.
And I’d call out, “I love you,”
But I would not hear your answer, 
Because through my earphones
  I am listening to Italian love

Slates of Stone

Stony slates of stone nearby
Concreted beautifully on each other
Now mighty mountain afar

Darkness Nearby

There are things
he won’t tell me as his wife
like how he’s worried
death is near and
he’s letting us down

He wants to be strong
and grab the control
but feels weak
as time slips
through his fingers

And he hasn’t the
strength to scream
while keeping his eye
on that dark tunnel
here nearby
he's worried
but doesn't let on

Thou Dost Exist So Nearby Me

I am dumbfounded when I watch thy command 
The sun, the moon and stars obey,
The dawn and the dusk, the day, 
The night, sky and air— 
They follow each other,
Thy  flowers with smell, fruits with juice, 
The pleasing earth, and her water and songs—
Everyone has equal rights to share on them,

Yellow, black and white,

A Huffle-Wink's Nearby

You've no doubt heard of fire-breathing dragons,
and their obsession with hoarding treasure.
But you have never heard of Huffle-Winks,
magical creatures that promote pleasure.

Invisible, atop their dragonflies,
they ride the winds of fate mile after mile.
And wherever they encounter a frown,
they attempt to flip it into a smile.

They summon dragonflies to get around,
for, unlike dragons, they haven't learned

Raptors Nearby

The child sees blue skies
Raptors spread their wings nearby
His little heart cries
