Volleyball In the RaftersAbove the public pool
a volleyball so cool
stuck for years
in the rafters
Someone’s
breath of life
trapped in
it’s bladder
Evidence of
their lingering
presence, me
wondering
if they ever
pondered the
relevance of
the essence they
left behind?
Singsong thoughts
turn inward …
What about me?
In all the places
I’ve been,
pieces of me,
residual traces
of myself
left behind,
cast away!
Small links, unforgotten,
faithfully preserved
by old friends—
threads of connection
reinforced by timeless bonds—
who keep my words,
moves...

Serve, Set, Dig, SpikeMost games are well-grounded,
To earthen goals they can defeat.
While few rise above the horizon,
With constant volleys they can repeat.

The Balls: A Parody of Poe's the BellsI
Hear the bouncing of the balls--
Basketballs!
What a sound of merriment they cause when each ball falls!
How they echo, echo, echo,
Inside the gymnasium walls,
Arriving at a crescendo
While the spectators shout “Bravo!”
Drowning the referee’s calls;
And the players start
To make their last dart
Amidst the reverberation ricocheting off the stalls
From the balls, balls, balls, balls,
Balls, balls, balls--
From the bouncing...

Volleyball: Contacts and Connectsdo not drop.

NecrophiliaThe body pillow
Next to me not
Embalmed but
Stuffed with
Goose down
Holding it close
To my naked body
I feel no warmth
I must be feeling
Winter's weather
Or thinking
Thoughts of
Freezing
Geese
That
Got their
Feathers
Plucked...

Volleyball ChampionshipThe day of the volleyball tournament arrived,
We had practiced together all year.
I would travel from our parents' beautiful house,
I was accepted as a last minute valuable player.
My friend had sprained her hand and couldn't play,
They asked me to come on the team.
Our competition was an American team,
We played all day with friends on the "Parents...

Summer DaysSinging birds and laughing children
Summer sounds seep into our senses
Friends, family and neighbors socialize
Backyard shaded lounging chairs
children playing nearby
Summertime sunshine and outdoor adventure
Fishing at dawn on smooth lake with dad
Swimming, volleyball, of course no teacher
Playing and riding bikes 'till called in for bed
Warm days... balmy nights
barbecues and campfire talks
moments together
friends, families and neighbors
good company and...
