Park Bench Panhandle

Trees dance
to the song 
of wind.

Shaded
in a disco 
of light and shadow,
king
of good will
welcomes 
compassion 
with a smile 
and cardboard sign.

Upon his wide wooden throne,
he beckons at passers-by:
For a bit
of 
good 
will.

Lake Pond Oreille

The beauty of
Lake Pond Oreille
Green copper-monarch
Mountains rise from the
Deep fresh waters guarding
The sacred wildlife of this
Northern Idaho Panhandle
Ospreys skim the surface
Of this lake with fish dangling
In their claws 
What glory and majesty
She possesses in her arms
Truly, a gift from the Gods

Poverty

Poverty: a dumpster lid for a dinner table
Offensive to people who think your unstable
Vagabonds panhandle coins from the giver
Evenings confined to a bag by the river
Recycling of cans for a smoke or a beer
Thankful for warmth in a cold, rainy year;
You too,can make this scene;lose your job and lose your green!

Melrose

Melrose, 
     a colorful flower of motley verse;
  Eccentric baffling moody contradiction; 
               Coffee, Ocean, Music 
               Euphoric excitement  
               Solitude and calm
            Freedom and adventures       
            Shadows and emptiness 
     Ireland, Seattle, and the pyramids; 
        Dreaming in the Florida panhandle; 
          Do not try to analyze a poet,
revel in the words that so briefly let you feel.

Mister Nobody

My name is Mister Nobody,
Because nobody knows my name.
Just a shadow on the wall,
And just a ghost in this game.

Was abandoned as a child,
I grew up hard on the streets.
A vacant lot for my home,
A cardboard box for my sheets.

I panhandle just to eat,
Search the dumpster for my clothes.
Use newspaper for a hat,
And wear shoes without the toes.

When I die, I'll die alone;
And my grave will read the same.
Here lies Mister Nobody,
Because nobody knew my name.
