POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Exploring this land and soaking in every experience are constants. Aged nearly a half century, I have recorded many events in verse, always striving to recall specific details. Having never publicly shared ink, this is a new endeavor.
"Walk"
While traveling through the early morn
A path leading to parts unknown
Birds proudly serenade the dawn
Squirrels race to find an elusive acorn
The oaks wave not in the morning hush
Standing tall and true, majestic towers for all to see
Maple canopies displaying an earthen kaleidoscope
Their colors, like billboards, advertising Autumn's rush
Sun, a brilliant glow, illuminating every stride
Revealing its' dominance, Ruler of the day
Brilliant light, filtered through eyes, filling the mind
Splendid thoughts expanding, flowing deep and wide...

She has dreams, hopes unfulfilled
She seldom asks, often wants
She sought a friend, benefits too

She trusts him, shares her sexual desires
She is amazed as he satisfies each and every
She has filled a void, thrilled in his presence, yet pondering
She could risk it all, grasping the happiness, or
She could live in misery, seven years, eight, nine
She...
