The Yeti

Today I flew over the mountains,
and came upon a lake;
I came upon a yeti,
he said his name was Jake.
He looked like he was scared,
like he had seen a ghost,
he told me he was sad, 
for he was feared by most.
He was a gentle creature,
and never one to boast.
Poor Jake was just a yeti,
stuck up on his post.
I told him that I’d feared him,
but he was one cool guy;
he suddenly got real happy, 
and jumped up in the sky. 
There is something grand about
knowing you are not alone,
and having learned my lesson,
I flew on back to home.

From the Mario’s
to the computer systems
chivalry is dead

Dark shades of winter
stark landscape barren wood
spring-time gather light

Design

Allow time
to let thoughts unwind
inside your mind
in design.

Rose

From the hand of time
a rose petal falls unjust
wherefore, ugly thorn?

Isabelle

What’s your name Isabelle
with long flowing brown hair
and skin so fair
yellow dress billowing
in the wind
flat-soled Nike 
shoes
sitting
reading the news
with a look of 
sorrow and despair
the land of the free
has punished your already
tired eyes
and smoking your cigarettes
you punish the skies
in return
the clouds rain disease
and bring an already famine
Earth
closer to it’s knees
in prayer
to a God that never
seems to answer
