A Train Ride Dream

Going on adventures in my frame of mind,

Inside my brain the discoveries I find! It’s

So simple to cross the terrain, when you

Don’t have to be qualified to drive the train!

Smoke ebbs above my path, as I pass the

Trees and other land masses. I’d like to

Create them from toothpicks and plastic!

As I round the bend to the end of my ride,

I awake just before with a wall to collide!

Even Days

Slinking down a frown, I’m determined to

Be found. I try to attack, but I don’t have

Quite the knack. Sometimes, when the wind

Blows through my sleeves, I take out all the

Leaves in my tables. Only on even days, tho.

Eye of the Needle

Hallowed beasts and miscreant angels

Hover and smother the sweet spirits of

Babes and innocents. Mothers and girls

Run for their sanity. The darkness closes

In, until a great light pierces through the

Eye of the needle.

The Flow

A cage.

A blown out tire.

A rusty knife.

Vines tangling to a tree.

A slamming door.

A rainstorm at the beach.

A dark room.

A hand slapping the face,

Covering the mouth,

Holding up in front of the eyes.

A locked chest.

Moving crowds on a street corner.

An owl coming to perch above a mouse.

A blood curdling scream.

An empty house.

A calling from an ocean cliff.

A burst of light from behind a cloud.

A soft touch on the lips.

A cool breeze on a Fall afternoon,

Blowing red, orange and yellow leaves

From trees on a hill,

Next to a winding country road,

Approaching a small bridge,

Above a rocky creek,

With cold water rushing along

A constant path,

The rhythm of nature.

Breathing in,

Then out.

Smooth Oparaytah

Zeal for your Ford has consumed me.

I lay in the sun all day, my skin burns.

I want to be the best I can be, but I’m not

A soldier in the army, so can I be?

I like green eggs and ham. I am

The cat in the hat, Sam I am.

Would you like like some grits with that?

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

Howdy, partner. Let’s dosie doe each

Other, watcha think? I’m just a smooth

Oparaytah. Smoooooth oparaytaaaaaah.

Well, let see. Are we sure our ducks are

In a row, out on the water, in the deep?
