Why is it that children
Sing naturally, but
Adults require long
Periods of training to
Halfway carry a note?

Breathless
She raises both arms to
Free the clasps binding her
Long, lush hair. It explodes
Down her back, taking my
Breath away.
Hair
People fuss about my hair.
They say it’s to long, get a
Haircut. But I say I am a
Poet and I want too grow
My hair long. It’s part of
The image. The last thing
I want to look like is a
Fricking businessman.
Little Beggar
He comes to our house
Begging for handouts
Almost daily. Bandit’s
Favorite foods are
Chicken hot dogs and
Purple grapes. He’s
Been coming to our
House for about two
Years. I don’t know
What the lifespan is
Of a wild raccoon. We
Hope Bandit will be
around for a long,
Long time.
Sunrise
When you wake up and
Look out the window
And see the sunrise, it
Makes your heart swell
With eagerness to get
Started on the day.
Sunrises explode with
Beautiful colors that
Stay in the mind all
Day long.
Mom
Mom’s been around for
A long time. At 98 years
Young, she’s sharp as a
Tack, soft spoken. And
Mom is a little hard of
Hearing. Her love for
Her family and in-laws
Is real and returned
Back to Mom. It’s easy
To make her laugh.
And her gentle nature
Wins everyone over.
We want Mom to last
Forever.
The Peacock
Out of nowhere a beautiful
Peacock showed up in our
Quiet little neighborhood.
It struts around with its
Rainbow of feathers all
Spread out. It has this call
That sounds like someone’s
Being murdered. It won’t
Let anybody near–it might
Chase them anyway.
My Love
My love wears
A caftan.
With her long
Hair and
Facial features
Suggesting an
Exotic
Lineage,
She draws
Looks from
Others
As well
As me.
Springtime
After a long winter
The season life loves
Arrives known as
Spring. Green sprouts
Pop up on bushes and
Trees, marigolds are
Everywhere. The
Natural world wakes
Up and all living
Things rejoice.
Journey
I’ve been to a lot of different
Places, I’ve roamed the world,
Lived in different countries and
Been to every state in our country.
I haven’t been home for a long
Time, but I feel something
Pulling me back and that
Something is you.
