The sandpipers around
The barnacled pillars of the wharf
Everything wet, you silky and soft

like a wail

Each one rides a stick.
Delighted children gallop.

Sprinkled among my memories
A little girl, humble and shy.
Sneaking her head up for a peek
Barely heard as I travel by.

Was it always better?
Before emails, we wrote letters,
Always had stamps and envelopes,
 Before computers, we did cope.

March On

Once a week, rain or shine.
School assembly marching time,
Shoulders back, tall or proud,
Marching music, totally loud.

while undoubtedly making the news 
something has shed
the Donald, informed, will happily call for his head.

A Teenager's Nostalgia

Sophia Loren,
the sexy Neapolitan,
drove all men crazy except me, I believe;
then I was in my early teens: a boy so naive.

A Hiding Place

In tidy closets ~
  Coats hang peacefully,
Quiet, Muffled happiness,
  Beside little shoeboxes,
The cosiest of spaces.

Peddling with great stride 
Muscles relax as I glide

Thick smoke drifts everywhere
Dark eyes behind hair

Listen to poem:
embers slowly dying
turn to ashes
last campfire
of our summer
though memories
forever linger
