It's obvious yard art...

Re: When I Was
Dear Tracy, Dave and Gyppo, You see? Religion can be a perfectly safe subject for discussion among thoughtful people like the three of you. Thank you so much for all the feedback. Here is a little saying I picked up during theological studies: When we die and get to heaven, we'll find all the angel...

Re: Night Vision
Electric dreams. Psychedelic stuff. Have you watched Michael Moore's Planet of the Humans ? No, I can't believe I have not even heard of that one but I will certainly look into it! Thanks Mark. I referenced Paul Simon because he has just issued a new album with religious themes and the lyrics of ...

When I Was
When I Was little, perhaps half the length of my bed I lay with my head away from the window that might let in some unnamed threat and prayed to lord Jesus to save me please please save me eyes closed, hand extended asked for a sign I'd been heard imagined a feathery pressure a slight warmth in my p...

Re: Quantum Physicists at a Bar discussing the Multiverse.
Thank you AJ, yes, who would know better than poets? Glad to see you are sticking around after Fives. I had not written anything for quite a while but I'm trying to break loose of a general malaise and more specifically a comatose muse. So I'll keep posting just to keep on posting

Re: Quantum Physicists at a Bar discussing the Multiverse.
Thank you Gyppo. I didn't even check it because there's no doubt in my mind you can spell much better than I---You are my spell check!

Re: Rock Climber's Hands
I had to laugh a little at this one Gyppo, as it put me in mind of a friend whose hands were so strong he referred to them as "Jed Clampits" a misspelling of the name of a character in a totally horrible sit-com called The Beverly Hillbillies. Beyond that, was the Chiropractor able to help? Another ...

Re: Night Vision
like every marvel of the "modern" world, we need to look deeper, and ask more and better questions. But with that said, we also know a lot now, about how to live sustainably. If we choose to actually bother. As for the craft of the poem, I am not sure what you would want to change, except perh...
