Castles In the Sand
For years we vacationed on Florida's west side
Building castles in the sand like the Chåteau de Versailles
Was proud as punch
Till some kid on it jumped
Thought it funny till momma tanned his backside...

Last Stitch
When the last stitch falls,
On the west side of the wilderness,
He will pick me up from
Out of the middle;
With His wonderful acts,
For He is my brand maker,
The only One who repurchases
The brand He made,
I need not despair,
I will not go to waste.

Epitaph
Beyond Inspiration Wall
A faerie village is a marvelous place to be.
If you ever find yourself petite and small.
Pure of heart travelers will discover an oak tree.
Beyond the west side of inspiration wall.
An ethereal faerie may soon dance to thee.
Let her read your fortune in her crystal ball.
Stay away gophers and birds that ‘chee’.
Simon LeGree is still out here, after all....

West Side Apartment
The Apartment on the West side.
Facing the Atlantic Ocean, facing America.
The sun lights its walls.
The hours of the day turn as the daylight.
The scent of Midwest loss and that feelin'
at the backyard looking at the apartment.
Birds fly from Indiana to Columbus,
from balcony to balcony
People unaware ,they have become Americans
Without even knowing their world.
The sunny afternoon, explores greatness within...

Blue Sky's
My kettle is coughing; soon its shrill whistle
will startle me, even though I know exactly
when it will erupt.
Two pelicans have been sighted in Northern Ohio.
Elsewhere, terror, war, horror, blood and dust.
I pour my morning tea, singing a tune
from 'West Side Story,' while an enthralled Maria listens.
Fox News and CNN, for once agree - just kidding.
I drink the tea.
I imagine lost pelicans hitching a ride South.
A truck driver has reported blue sky’s
in Kentucky....

West Side Story
Since “West Side Story” hit the stage,
No show could quite compare.
Such music, lyrics, dances, plot
Are magical and rare.
The gorgeous tunes you can’t forget
Are Bernstein at his best
And Sondheim’s words would leave the world’s
Top poets most impressed.
The choreography delights
With every Robbins move
And Arthur Laurents told the tale;
Will Shakespeare would approve.
I saw the play again today;
It never lets me down,
Deserving every accolade
That’s earned it its renown....
