Little baby
How I'll care for you
I'll be there
to hold you softly in my arms
God's design will bring you next to me
Someday
This child has been given . . . more

Wind-swept,
My life has been
Stormy seas and leaf-dance,
Cast adrift on careless currents,
Random.

Forward or back,
And sometimes side to side,
No path ahead, no safe harbor,
Life's wile. . . . more

He said it was the fire in my eyes, the wit in my laugh,
But when he held me against him, I knew he loved my beauty most.
It is a small thing, a sad thing, to be loved . . . more

The voice of an angel
lullaby me to sleep
talk me into loving the time you keep
whisper sweet nothings in my ear
tell me about all the daytime things you fear
face of an angel
clear pools . . . more

Please Find Enclosed
Call it a chest or a cube, a puzzle box or a die cast.
I don't know. It has no head or tail,
This hard, bright menagerie that turns one face as squarely as the next. . . . more

Autumn Struggles in Gorgas Park
Here on this spit of ground
Above a lake of tarnished rooftops,
Antenna eddies and shoals of satellite dishes,
The earth scatters its harmony of green. . . . more

I grip the pole to keep from falling,
Knuckles bloodless, palm aflame.
Swaying, swinging, music in my ears,
The floor shimmies below and I above,
Straining through negative space.
Modesty lost to . . . more

How many poets have we forgotten? The answer is too many. I have a very large book of poetry, titled "World Poetry, An Anthology of Verse from Antiquity to Our Time". I stole this book from . . . more

They are called black seedless grapes,
Cross-bred monstrosities from California
That would mock the wine-girl's delicate foot.
Each settles in the palm like a . . . more

This love is as a sickness
Taking her long days
In dread and drudge;
Thinking of him
Who made her ill
And broke at heart,
His wonderfulness;
His being there
And now not;
His scent . . . more

Be still, my love, hold this moment
on your tongue, like sugar
or adoration.
They come so few and far between
that each is worthy of being
cast in bronze.
Words will have to do.
We have just . . . more

The color of changing leaves
Fall in its glory

So your eyes can't see
Run - as fast as you can
Through the mild of trees
Don't look behind
Cause you don't know what you might find
Salute everyone
