While the other nearby trees Stand in bare green downplaying Their potent...

Well, I suppose that I am again revealing my age, But I grew up when Burma Shave signs were all the rage! Could it be that those 'masterly creations' sparked my poetic bent, As I soaked up a tad of 'culture' as down the rural roads I went? "Buddy, if its a bit of romance you crave; Best you slather...

I can't get this poem to form. So just placing it here anyway. I found a graveyard with only the steps remaining of the church at the side of a busy road, with derelict car showrooms neighbouring the site. Some of the graves looked well maintained despite them being extremely old. When I researched it...

A mother chrysanthemum is blooming On the side of a footpath were People are hurrying to and fro It stood quietly with the defiance of the people Showing a scene that looks coincidental Being ignored or not by the thinking eyes Just bloomed for its own destiny as a fact Not for a bit for...

In my youth I was completely engrossed, By poetry along the byways nailed to a post! It wasn't composed by John Greenleaf Whittier; No, the authors were much more wittier! I speak of Burma Shave signs once all the craze, But can only be found in museums nowadays. I don't claim to own the wit of Nast or Nash, But here are...

Curbside are snapshots of revelation they invoice the passing as stations upon a cross, or rosary beads from the corners of hard driven eyes. We count the faces of onlookers like cars for they count us not, or may enter our speeding vehicles as flashes of sunlight upon glass.

Smooth air was playing with her hairs, The view from the bridge was taking away her stress. That slight smile captured my heart, Time was the thing, falling apart. Rarely I have seen such a...
