Moonlight in Vermont

One night the moon

full as a dollar

hung around all night

I swear one time

he was speaking to me

but it's possible

I didn't get that right

Then later on

I'm sure he winked at me

and was about ready

to spill a joke

but it might have been… Read full post »

Alternative

 

There is always some damn humming

No matter where I am

Haunting me, chasing me

Not liking it is nothing

Doesn’t even know me

But if it does the shit

Would hit the fan

Speculation is useless

Accept if… Read full post »

The Flood

I enjoy posting my new poetry work here.  There's something about OS that calls out to me to do it.  I was attemtpting to break through a block during this writing but now it seems like it might be applied to different situations in the Middle East.

New Poetry: 'Douglas Corner'

February already...

Here's the latest from my quite cool, cordless keyboard!

 

DOUGLAS CORNER

 

 

I want to go to Douglas Corner

 In Nashville to see a show

But I doubt if I will go

It’d be cool to hear the guitars on the stage… Read full post »

Hunter for Something: A poem.

I had an inspiring weekend.  NewYears resolutions to do, what else, write more.  So far so good.

I read the booklet written by Johnny Depp and Douglas Brinkley  included in the Gonzo CD of music from the film.  All about Hunter S. Thompson.

Sparkle: A Poem.

 

Sparkle

 Fascinated by the word sparkle

strikes me as almost

onomatopoeia

like clang, clang

but with a lot more class

Like Satine the Sparkling Diamond in

Moulin Rouge

Like the stars at night

sparkle like the

sun off the water

Rich, rich, rich

I could venture psychedelic

Christmas Cold

 
 
Got a cold for Christmas
not what I expected
 
Came in on a bus ride
or maybe it was
the drinks from the night before
 
The night before Christmas
I got on the Airborn train
leaving the bus behind
 
I'll give up all my tickets

Gone Fishing

 

 

GONE FISHING

 

I was walking under the blue sky

When blues crept up on me

Like the suede on my shoes

I didn’t lose my baby

But I couldn’t find her either

She had ducked out for lunch

Or decided to… Read full post »

John Lennon

A few remembrances that remain in my head about John Lennon and the Beatles...

 

Like so many others my first exposure was in Feb. 1964 viewing the Ed Sullivan show.  After it was over I went upstairs to the bathroom mirror and combed my hair down over my forehead.  The… Read full post »

Three Poems From November

Hi.  I've been away for a while but you know how it is.  I have been writing just not always suitable for posting on the blog.

Anyway here are three brand new poems.  Let's see what happens now...

Writing

Author black tied

caught in a Red silhouette

Trampled by believers

signing his name on their sleeves

Running into the margins

headers and footers

cut loose

"Lead me into battle,"

he cried,

"Before I lose my teeth."

The snow fell in February

all the life

covered deep underneath

Excerpt: RAISING THE BAR

Hi. This is a small but informative, hopefully, excerpt from the first draft of my first novel. 'Raising the Bar.' It's about a transplanted couple that live and work in Manhattan. I deal a lot with backstory and this is a glimpse into the character Tom's life.Read full post »

Washington Square Park

Washington Sq. 2009.

 

Sitting under a bright park light (I mean very bright) on a bench in a refurbished Washinton Square Park. It's not obviously a new look, especially at night, but the park was closed for several months as the renovations were taking place. There are… Read full post »

I Ran

 
I ran
I ran so far away
I ran
I  ran both night and day
I couldn't get away...
 
Is it true the foundations are shaking in Iran?  Is this a signal that oppresive regimes are losing their stranglehold?  Is this just business as usual?
When the people speak,… Read full post »

Bird is the Word

BIRD IS THE WORD
 
Sparrow sips water 
from sodden plastic I heart NY
shopping bag
The red and black
visible flat in the water
 
Bird culture hopping
like they do
striking me as armless
only beaks to pick up and peck
 
Apparently always seeking
the food not so… Read full post »

Where's My Car?

I'm craving a car. I was born and raised in a car culture but then once I discovered NYC I had to sell my car and have not had one since. Guess what? It's been a long time too. More years than I'm going to mention, so… Read full post »

Newt, Huckabee, Limbaugh

Newt, Huckabee, Limbaugh
Sure do make the wind blow
Never afraid to speak their mind
Like a steamroller killing time
They got plenty to say
Make plenty of pay
Feeding the dragon
Every day
 
But like their minds
Their vision runs narrow
The politics they… Read full post »

Red Beret (excerpt)

I couldn't get to sleep.  What was that image in my head?  I know what it was. It was a girl walking by me very quickly, I mean with a real purpose, and what kept flashing in my head was the red beret she was wearing.  Not only did it stick… Read full post »

Frustrating Week

It was going to be a great getaway weekend in Maine.  Two shows for me to play and a whole bunch of new folk exposed to my performance and music.   A road trip. A breath of fresh air away from the heady New York City air.  More air in the… Read full post »

Something

I had to write something.

So here I am.  Shooting up the clock at one thirty in the morning.  Banging my head in the treetops, waving at the wind.  I heard a tree fall in Brooklyn one afternoon and nobody else was there.  Earlier the rain was splashing all over the… Read full post »
