Temperature dip
urban leaves turned
Autumn, sniffing around
for a place to settle
no Farmer's Market

fragrant gardenias,
                     steaming cafe au lait

A Chimp Named Francisco

There once was a chimp named Francisco
Who loved to eat gooey Crisco
When given the chance
He'd laugh and then dance
The waltz, the tango, and disco.

San Francisco Earthquake

I want to sleep
With the windows open
On a night that believes 
In winter winds and falling snow
I want to taste your dreams
On a California bed
King sized on the Richter scale

Premium Member Welcome, All Ye Immigrants

Chicago, New York, San Francisco -- such
  A deluge of immigrants -- they have clutched
    At first they were trying
    But now they are crying
  Leaving out, "Sanctuary very much!"

Tryst

Sultry San Francisco September
dazed in the heat of a moment,
flown by too quickly this time
when they moved together
was over too soon.
But, she stretches
with a smile
as he
goes.

Mission San Francisco De Solano

Russians supplied mission old bells.
High in tower chime their slow knells.
Listen, great their single tone swells.
Honor those dead.
Time to mourn alarum note tells.
Missal lines read.

City Spring

Cold wind on the bay
blows with a sound from the sea
eucalyptus sway.

Caressing fog sweeps
on morning soft or cold night
San Francisco spring.

Filling gawking children full of delightful wonder

Candlestick Lighthouse high on hill
On coast near San Francisco still
Light saves lives with a bright strong will
Tallest of west coast sea towers
A beacon to stand ocean’s chill
Been guiding mariners from ill

The Way San Francisco Lived

Who has the bread
and the word, has everything...
But what is left to be complete...?
Some essential things:
share,
 offer,
donate a little of oneself...
So everyone will have everything
in fair portions... !
