POEMS AND PROSE AND SONGS (NO ONE WROTE THE MUSIC)

Author's Note:

Works gathered over the years, some new, some old.  Sometime they make me laugh.  Sometimes I cry.  Sometimes that was actually what they were supposed to do.  Hope you get happy, sad, joyful, mad.  Irate and giggling at the same time would be the goal for some of them.  All I ask is, if you like them, tell your friends to hit this blog, too, so I'll get some spare change from the views.  Heck, even if you're fuming, tell your friends and you can all fume together.

MEMORIES



                                                             LASER-LIKE

Clean coherent
Bright red
Lines of light
Cleanly cut steel
Read bar codes
Slip time and space
To bounce off the moon

Clean
Coherent
Sandburg, Eliot,
Hemingway,
cummings, Hammett,
Angelou

Clean coherent
Bright, read
Lines like light
Cleanly cut truth
Read soul codes
Slip time and space
To bounce off the heart

Memories through time


                                                              YOU SHALL SEE


White hot pepperoni pizza
Wafts of pale perfumes
Satin drawn against the skin
Iced tea served in June
A warming house in winter
High school graduation days
Candy apple red Corvettes
A brilliant Broadway play

Cherishing the rare jewels
Life's sparkling, bracing lust

"You shall see heaven open"
And everything earthly crumble

To dust
