quebec

Born from sea,
Through old St Lawrence’s way,
fortified walls surround
lovely Mademoiselle Quebec,
guarding her treasure,
with savvy street performer charisma,
while accenting, all things French.
Inside the city,
elegant stone homes,
adorned by colorful bouquets,
charm and values nurtured,
asidewalk café,
feeds the soul of poets,
while on her skirts,
waterfalls higher than Niagara,
keep her chalice full and pure.

war on innocents

Three years in Iraq.
Terrorists war on innocents,
bombs, bullets,
intended for terrorists,
kill innocents.
How many more
boys and girls
are killed?
Imagine the terror.

eyes

Into the window, do look,
Framed by hazel iris’
A portal to the bastion of soul,
the heart,
Sixteen inches below the center of reason,
What do you see?

breaking fast and norm

Runny eggs, crispy toast,
pink strawberries, red grapes, yellow OJ,
So much the better than,
Red eggs, pink toast,
yellow strawberries, runny grapes and crispy OJ!

imagine humor

"Imagination was given to us
to compensate for what we are not;
a sense of humor was provided
to console us for what we are."
-Mack McGinnis

a poet

"A poet
is someone who can pour light
into a cup
and then raise it
to nourish your beautiful-
perhaps parched-
holy mouth."
-Hafiz

way of being

Love, it’s a verb,
not a feeling
for your head to disturb.

Love, it's a way of being
and comes from the heart,
so keep the two,
sixteen inches apart.

australia

Australia looks like a cool place,
So many animals, in your face.
There are many, I’d like to see
I wonder, is there cheetah and monkey?
