There was no whipped cream residue And raindrops hadn’t sprinkled through, So with these clues, I did...

With juices dripping down, it somehow Didn’t seem to fit. It’s not a sight I’ve ever seen, Right out there on the street, And though I’m sure that some would be Excited by that...

The weatherman says it will be 85 But it now feels like 72. So what should I wear? Out the window I glance, Thinking people will give me a clue. Yet from what I can see, it’s a very mixed bag – There are t-shirts and sandals and shorts, Though I also see long-sleeves and jackets and jeans, Which all go with...

Today, we remember the long, scorching march into the tombstone— eyes like oceans, salt pouring from flesh. Today, we remember the cross, 300 pounds heavy, bent and dipped into his head. How he slipped and swayed, sandwiched in a crowd of tunes— // slaps // claps // shouts// “He healed the blind! He delivered many from...

Observe the modern generations walk on by; they suckle from the plastic teat of coffee cups, and stumped by stamping feet they shamble unaware from flock to flock.— infant adults—if earnest I may speak; Look there: one loops in circles (a grand feat!) and, as if an ornithological suite, the gaggle shuffles behind,—“squawk squawk squawk!” Yikes… I suppose that if I ran...

"Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness..." Luke 1:77-79 When morning breaks in upon my bed banishing fear and dismissing dread, its welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head to speak and move trusting God instead.

My whirligigs are spinning; The trees are all a’sway. The dafs, with blooms beginning, Bow their heads in mock dismay. The windsock strips are dancing; The bushes are a’bounce, The dogs on leashes prancing, Swishing tails an added flounce. As I sit here with my writing, While the sunshine’s all a’peek, Rhyming words have been alighting To allow my thought to speak....

In defense of a poet who didn't deserve harsh words. You know the saying... 'If you have nothing nice to say..." I'll not write a reprimand for two rolling bumblers that stumbled over themselves in the last two days. Some people live in a haze, throwing shade at others, I won't throw hot coals on their heads. They'll just keep...
