I have a sad tale to tell
Of one who I thought

But now I'm covered with . . .

Across the never ending land
And up the hillside and down
Because they always had
And their fathers had and their fathers had
For they were farmers . . .

Small shrine by the side of the road
Overgrown with vines and brambles
Visited only by birds and squirrels
Perhaps they alone
Remember how to pray.

Winter Morning
Tiny pug marks in the snow
Leading to my front door and then away
A cat alone in the subzero wind
How tragic for her
How cruel of us

The wild Cossack road his pony
At breakneck speed
Across the rolling steppe
Wind streaming his hair
The wild Arapaho road his pony
At breakneck speed
Across . . .

I always feel sad on Independence Day
The kind of sadness one feels
When awakening from
A particularly passionate dream
And finding you are in bed alone
And very likely to remain . . .

(For my father in law, near the end of his life)
Flotsam and jetsam
Sea weed and driftwood
Each strand with its song to sing
Each fragment with its story to tell
Washed up on the beach

The highest Sultans of passed times could not

Without having really touched
They turned and parted
Each with thoughts of their own
Each asking what might have been

Gazing at the golden path
The late summer moon spills across the lake
He reflects sadly on a love affair
That will probably never be
And wonders why

We preach forgiveness
But cry out for revenge
We are the home of the brave
But tolerate those who preach fear
We are helpful to other nations in time of disaster
But our own . . .

In These Troubled Times
How many times since September 11
Have we heard that phrase
And shaken our heads in disbelief
And blamed the sinister outsider
For disturbing our bliss.?

In the heart of the Wood, that Mythic place
The source of all magic, prophecy and true poetry
Is the Cave of the Bard, the Merlin,
The maker of poems, the singer of songs,
The dreamer of dreams, . . .

People say that I am a poet and because I write poetry I guess I am.
But setting that aside, I have now and have always had a love for the
Language. I find it offensive when nouns are corrupted . . .

The Pilgrim Poet found himself in Bagdad
Bagdad on the Tigris
