Probe the plan.' Wake up Australia be no longer fooled
Look at the architecture..in Canberra' think on Davos and draconian rules! read dark
Dark policing by John Stapleton.) another of our hero's
Who is (far from wrong) a seasoned writer from the trenches of strife.' A giant of a

Ralph - You Are Behind Schedule

Before the marathon began,
I walked First Avenue,
Aware 100,000 feet
Would soon come pounding through.

The do-not-cross tape waited
And the police were getting set
To control the hordes of cheering fans
Who hadn’t gathered yet.

Since some apartments face the street,
Their balconies supply
A place for friends to stand and shout
As runners hurry by.

From one such place, I saw a sign
To jokingly

Ralph Nader

Ralph Nader isn't afraid to tell the truth 
How it is for American Democracy today 
We should be lucky we have him still 
89 and still going strong!  
It is in having nothing to gain 
And nothing to lose when it is easier to be 
honest with yourself and others 
I am glad this

Alchemist Wizard Ralph

Ralph is the most creative quintessential wizard in Jackson County.
A born alchemist, he spins gold out of a variety of fur and bounty.
His laboratory is not open to the public, but he is related to us.
He conjures masterpieces out of bits of fabric, feathers and dust.

A master at his craft, he delights us with an

How Dad Learned To Play

Dad was a great piano player
Grandpa Luther was a great man
He burned his wife’s Bible 
In 1942, when Colorado farmers
Decided all Germans and Japanese
Threatened them
My grandmother 
Got another Bible 
English version 
She didn’t have to hide
Governor Ralph Lawrence Carr
Was a great man, too
The only one who stood for
The rights of Japanese
–Americans– just like he
Said, “if

Ralph Went Kerplop

Ralph had been a happy pup
  running and jumping and playing
Greeting our family with affectionate licks
  eagerly learning a barrelful of tricks   

Then one day, Ralph went kerplop
  his doggy motor just plain stopped
Only four years old, he decided 'life's over'
  farewell to days chasing bees in the clover

Letter To Grandpa Ralph

As I thought upon the coming of February, the month designated as Black History Month, I began to think upon potential ancestors of long long ago. My imagination got the best of me, and this fictitious poem was born about a grandfather far back and beyond in history. Having never traced my ancestry, presently, I

Ralph Malph's Mouth

Ah Yes, Do you remember this character from "Happy Days" Ralph Malph played by Donny Most? 
Well, brothers and sisters
He inspired me to create this tongue twister.
RALPH MALPH'S MOUTH. Come on all you poets who know it.
Say it 10 times in 10 seconds if you can! 
Faster!Quicker! Don't hesitate. Enunciate!
If you did it perfectly, you're

No Fashion Passion

Fashion is not my passion
Simplicity is the way for me
One color shirt and a pair of jeans
That's good enough you see
My money's low but spirits high
Although Ralph is not my guy
His concept's great
But I can't equate
It's stuff I cannot buy
That money spent 
Would pay the rent
When I had
Thinner thighs

Know Thyself--Excerpts--Ralph Waldo Emerson

IV

Give up to thy soul----- 
Let it have its way----- 
It is, I tell thee, God himself, 
The selfsame One that rules the Whole, 
Tho’ he speaks thro’ thee with a stifled voice, 
And looks through thee, shorn of his beams. 
But if thou listen to his voice, 
If thou obey the royal thought,

Jax and Ralph

Two carnies 
Eighteen small town county fairs
Six furiously hot summer days.

Jax , boisterously handsome, kept the women entertained, 
While Grandpa Ralph picked items out of their diaper bags and purses.
If he had any conscience at all, he would say “no thank you to their tips”,
 But he had been taught by the best, and he

Roses Are Red - Collaboration With Ralph Sergi

ROSES ARE RED

The flower’s crimson cerise hue
creates the petal’s grand debut
of love and memories to recall
my florid sanguine gift of all

VIOLETS ARE BLUE

Azalea breath with foxglove tones
embellish with an azure clone
herbaceous with a petal white
where insects set and birds alight

SUGAR IS SWEET

Bright butterflies on zephyr breeze
sip nectar from Sakura trees
I watch them dance from break

Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Ralph Waldo Emerson

Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Ralph Waldo Emerson

They say that these three poets day by day by day
Always are willing to show me what and which way
Certain style to use in my soul that soon is rising
A beautiful sun starting to appear on the horizon.

Color was seen and abounded all around galore
Desire did appear to

Ralph Sherwin

He was the convert 
to Roman Catholicism.
Government spies
denounced him quickly.

Upon arrest he was charged
with treasonable conspiracy,
because he was a catholic priest.
In prison he thought fellow inmates,

“there is no reason
why we should fear
much as to a victorious result,
for JHS has conquered the World”.

He was proud to testify about the truth,
suffered  and gave life  for

I Hate Cousin Ralph

i hate holidays
you see  cousin Ralph comes over
and my days of fun
are over before they are even begun

      his tousled hair,
      his cutesy  grin
      eyes so fair
      conceal a soul as dark as
