Starlings


Flock of starlings

Glorious sight!

Poems in motion

Art in flight


Flock of starlings

Paint the sky

Upon your wings

Our hearts soar high




Church Key (Haiku Suite)


In this day and age

My “church key” can opener

No longer has use


Save as reminder

Of hot dogs on the midway

Washed down with cold Coke


Yet, one could do worse

Than be that which reminds me

Of those summer nights


Thus I keep the “key”

Which has its use after all:

Reopening youth




You and I


Some things last forever

The stars up in the sky

The playful sound of laughter

A joyful baby’s cry


There is a sense of wonder

Throughout the world to know

Let’s find it both together

And then we’ll know it’s so


Take me by the hand, girl

Look me in the eye

It’s here we’ll make our stand, girl

Together you and I
