Ivan Petrovich Pavlov - 1849-1936
Of eleven children he was the first
and from an early age
for research had a thirst
his love of dogs was no surprise
highly regarded
he received the Nobel Prize
altho' no longer around
of all those that ever were
I clearly like the sound
as with food it goes so well
and if nothing else
the name 'Pavlov' rings a bell

Three Rings Entice a Perfect Fit
Each ring alone
too big to fit,
slips on finger,
disclosing its excess.
Too tight the hold,
the urge to control.
Too much the hope
to fill the void,
the more it squeezes,
the embrace to yield.
But, when entwined and combined,
the three rings loop and interface
to make a perfect fit for finger.
A trinity in harmony.

The doorbell rings less
The doorbell rings less
As dust assembles
On once polished seats
The old coffee pot
Misses a few beats
As cups gather hopefully
Voices linger
Held by the silence
Seeking a response
The phone chimes
A face time visitor
Fulfilling a duty
Soon they will share
Unvalidated memories
Speak of love
Their words will be lost
In the silence

And the phone rings
And the phone rings
Your name splashed across my screen
I answer but you are not there
Were you ever?
A thousand times my hand has hovered
Balanced over your number
Torn between wanting
Knowing what will happen
Clinking glasses, muffled voices
Straining, to hear you again
Waiting, wanting, hoping
But it’s too late
Too late to be calling me
Another reckless accident
The definition of us
A fitting

Freedom Rings
Freedom Rings
I am a US citizen
Born and bred iin the USA
I fight for the right of all
And stand tall each day.
I stand against all wrong
My skin color matters not
All those who disagree
Soon will pay when caught
Freedom still rings here
In our land of the USA
I stand and fight for freedom
As needed each

Take me to Lothlorien
The basement bulb goes out, I lack a spare
My cat licks my ice cream, I'm OK to share
My laptop gives my face a glow
I'm wrapped up in a magic flow
I imagine leaving the world of men
through Moria to Caras Galadren
float this door to the Arduin shore
reclaim my wonder there once more.
Take me to Lothlorien
I'll meet

Skating Upon Saturn's Rings
We skate by each other. I look at my brother, who is lost in the excitement; he has always been an adventurous soul.
My brother moves ahead of me, beaming with joy. I wonder how we ended up in this place and shake my head several times to jolt myself into reality.
The rings of Saturn are

Skating Upon Saturns Rings
I will skate upon Saturns Rings
on icy and rocky fragments :
New excitement and charms to bring
splendid thrills and entertainment.
On icy grains I may gallop.
I am to slide on rocky mass

Skating Upon Saturns Rings
The thought of you makes my heart sing
You inspire a fire with yellow joy you bring
And I can dandelion dream do anything
Even esteem skating upon Saturns rings
If love is a timeless black hole
I’d be hopelessly consumed
Left my planet of silver soul
To space travel with you
Not knowing the sky
Is not as big as our

Skating on Saturn's Rings
Skating on Saturn’s rings,
Happiness must be there.
Easy to see but hard to catch.
In 250 million years from now,
Her rings will vanish.
Elusive happiness appears to fade.
A dream will become a memory.
A memory of a dream,
A dream never touched.
I still skate Saturn’s rings.
For perception is multi-dimensional.
Only capturing a dream is still a reality.
Happiness does not need to

Skating Upon Saturn's Rings
In
cosmic
wilderness
icy rings swirl
with frozen rock dust
in thin ribbons on flight
in solar system unique,
around the sleeping Saturn far,
as it’s leftover wandering waste,
making the breathtaking celestial rinks
where I as cosmonaut shall one day glide,
skate upon the congealed space tracks vast
in freedom of weightless milieu,
whirl charmed in galactic glow.
As the stardust swathes me
I’ll take spiral turns,
primal silence
will flood

Skating Upon Saturn's Rings
One small step for woman
One giant step for womankind
I have reached the rings of Saturn
I never thought this day would come
The first step is icy and cold
But a blast of hot wind pulls me dead set on the ring
And suddenly I am flying
Fast fast fast
Quicker than light
All of

Skating Upon Saturn's Rings
Come! We'll fall into Saturn's ice arms
We'll skate on her rings as moons arise
On my toes, I'll spin woes into charms
see amethyst form storm's sultry skies
Smile at lightning's attempted disguise.
We'll skate together and then alone
leaving imprints, as settlers perhaps
Marking a path for others to own
among icey confines, Nature's lapse
finding wonder, unable to grasp
Skating back and

Skating Upon Saturn’s Rings
Startling as the rise of the moon
On autumn’s twilight, beautiful as June
still breath of joy, falling like stars
silent truths…
stunning as the august wind
warming to the touch, grace descends
music in glorious praises, a maze
reflecting the wonders, unfaded
glistening through heavy hearted leaves
rustling like stardust, in the trees
scent of smokey forests who grieve
knowing the moon is losing

Free-Wheeling
Found my space to roller skate
Like I did when I was eight ...
Round, round and round the rink
Flashing lights of blue and pink
High above such trivial things
Skating the track of Saturn's rings,
Go, go, they can't catch me now
Once you learn, you never forget how
The music flows from far, far away
Down on Earth where records
