This poem was inspired by a man nicknamed Midnight.
A handsome 'dude' with a heart as big as the N.West
and he was my friend.
Take it easy as you ride the velvet plain . . . more

We're a busy bunch
W' coffee on our minds
From roastin' green
To finished cup
W' grindin' in between
We're movin' fast
W' all . . . more

Watch the coffee brew--
Bubbles start to percolate,
Ideas in heat
Rising in volume to burst
And reveal what lays ahead

Dislodged pebble rolls,
Writes its journey in the sand--
A legend is born.

Eyes peer to know
What awaits me
On this brisk day
Pitching in seas
Capped by white spume--
Wickedly flicked
As briny spray
Past a proud bow
Risen and smug,
Into my face
For fine effect. . . . more

Baby’s Homecoming
Glorious daylight,
A day without a known past,
Brings questions and squalls
Along with understanding--
And a satisfying meal

Crystal clear orchestration
Of life after dark--
Wood nymphs breathe . . . more

Peace accompanies their truth--
Sweet, fragrant flowers.

When late becomes early . . .
When the moon sails by . . .
When stillness prevails . . .
In the nighttime sky
A crash in the underbrush
Sketched lightly by snow
A red fox in downward throes
Pounces . . . more

Coffee Klatch
Cream swirling around,
In stirred cup with time-worn chips,
Blending with coffee
Sipped by soul with laughing eyes
That smile over taste and words

Bullfight
Crimson
Cape of flutter
In devious pursuit
That obscures a penetrating

Curtain Hangers
Frisky
Kitty frolics
Blurred in a carpet chase
With a competitive sibling
Who both go vertical on drapery
And stop as wavering fur balls
Who are quickly chased down

Cursed cursor
Winking, taunting
A strobe light for the mind
Send me into synaptic seizures
Cursed cursor
Pulsing, probing
An ugly ill tempered muse
Waits impatiently to scurry along . . . more

Natural Bluster
Gales, fitful wind spits,
Billows of icy air howl,
Flail tormented trees.

Intricate Voyage
I seek my friends now
In the labyrinths of fine thought
And discover them
Steaming by clear lubber lines
Home with life's treasures to share

Mornings are quiet, just Papa and me.
Turn on the TV and what do I see?
Blathering news, depression guarantee.
Surfing the stations, awww, TruTV!
