Long Springer Poems

Here we are fans this fine summer day,
to watch Trash Can Cats, versus Downtown Stray.
The field is grand in this deep wooded glen,
pitchers are warming up in the bull pen.

Pitching for the Cats is Crazy...

As I strolled through the street one day,
The oddest sight caught my eyes,
A man, only wearing rags,
But very wise,
Spoke words of knowledge, inspiration and advice,
How to care, how to share,
And just how to be nice,
To...

?I thought that I would never see
Another macho man like me.
Ex-green Beret and Airborne Ranger,
Who never shirked in face of danger.	
But that ancient myth was soon dissolved,
When my wife asked me to get involved,
And accompany...

Ten hut!
Can't let up
Even though, it can get messed up
Really F'd up
Do not get fed up
Keep your head up
Stay sharp, don't get set up
Careful where a disagreement ends up
Heads up!
Many fast to wet up
From the...

With apologies to Sir W.S. Gilbert

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list.
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would...

But in the clouds the welcome party takes them three by three

Sanitized a lot of messes with Lysol
Saw it all through my eyeballs
By being logical during daytime or nightfall

Did no good to dawdle
Helped to be thoughtful
Experienced the pleasant and the awful
Didn't always benefit one side or...

“The Backburn”



Sands slip through 
a shrinking tide
chair's facing away
from the Sun
back turned 
on the backburn
facing the past 

you are still here
you are still here

back turned
on the backburn
ocean slides 
hypnotic undertow
nipping at your toes
you’re speaking to...

Speculations abound, on the news and Internet.
Doomsday prophecies, when the planets alignments set.
But I have my theories, that I will share with you,
might as well accept it, there's nothing you can do.
Twenty-twelve is coming, that...

over and over 
I asked myself, 
"why?" 
but there was never an answer. 

I loved you, 
but why

I never knew the reason.

my only sunshine,

Ben,our springer,brown & white
Was our teen-daughter's delight;
Bred by the famous Shand-Kydd
Causing us to part with fifty quid.

He soon grew,chewing lino & chairs
Forever racing up our stairs;
We'd no idea what he would become
This stress-filled harum-scarum.

A sporting...

The itch of you, deeply, 
beneath, surface, rises quickly, 
to scratch, The anxiety of it all, 
trembles my bones, Like an 
acid Tripp, gone wild, not Jerry 
Springer, It's craziness is much 
more, as it...

WINTER WONDERLAND

The snowmen line the silent street at night.
Their bright smiles gleam with frozen teeth of stone.
Until the crackle of a bunny’s light —
its paws so sweetly greet the dark alone.
His fluffy fur, does mimic,...

I could be dead tomorrow, but today I'm alive,

To get all I want, before death comes to take me,
So show...

With the grandeur of prairies and canyon
With Georgian welcomes from Springer Mountain
With cooler welcomes of Katahdin

To exult among more mosses, mammals, trees
Than have survived in spaces smaller than countries
