At the Gate

The writing came early,
  the reading came late

The knot hanging loosely
 —untied at the gate

West Gate Bridge Disaster

Of my old school mates
cheeky John Doody
from Ascot Vale West
I remember best
one of the great heroes
from the West Gate Bridge disaster.

what's behind my door?
until you knock
loud enough for me to hear
you'll never know ~
it may be worth the risk

Crashing the Gate

We searched through the desert
for a welcoming sign

But the truth was a grave marker
—our fate so inclined

Premium Member They Met At Heavens Gate

Hank wanted to be with Deb
he could not wait until his suffering was over
it happened on Christmas day
eighty turned back into forty-three
they met at heaven’s gate

Premium Member Her Gate


                             Colors start to wake

                             Dancing sparkles on the lake

                             Spring opens her gate

Premium Member Nailing Jell-o to a Wall


The nail bites deep in the wood as per plan,
The carpenter does what he thinks he can:
No plan can counteract the destined fate
Of an amber tree crashing on a gate.

The Gate

Bring us closer, nearer to the flame
blow out that light and pass the only gate.
Follow me to the dark place of screams
escaping hope ...
you'll never find those things.

Heaven's Gate

Idaho is
as America was
her voice in the canyons
and mountains above

Idaho is
where today meets the sun
baptized in her beauty
—deep rivers to run

Premium Member At Heaven's Gate

      a prominent squirrel
       once eschewed a gift 
         from a poor chipmunk 

      meeting again at heaven’s gate
        the chipmunk, once eschewed
          was let right through

Premium Member Ornate Gate

Came spring with fragrance
On ornate gate red roses 
Lit with dancing drops 
On leaves and petals sparkling
Robin waking up dawn
