Selected Poem(s) |

Sunset, Four Thirty
Brittle winds
shatter against skin.
Pale sun relinquishes
late day light to night.
Bones tell the mind, living
will be harder now,
these months will endure
as if forever.

Simply Chuck
You were a short guy with a short name.
But those terms of endearment your friends shouted out —
these were grown men calling,
Chuckie, Chuck the Duck, Chuckles the Clown, Chuckman, Chuckmeister, Woodchuck Chuck! At our wedding, choruses of Prince Charles and Lady Di! Chuck and Di!
But to you and me, we would always be
Vern and Marie, and you, Honeyhoneyhoney when you made me crazy.

Reprieve
Dogs dozing
breeze feeling kind daisies swaying birds at ease, bees not all that busy. Dragon flies hovering by shadows hanging low.
All of us just
breathing easy, that's all's going on. Sun just is.
