Understanding the common man
Is vital to the storyteller
A sense of democratic soul
Can pull an audience together.
Eco concern encased in plot
Is more than just a passing shot
Philosophy, democracy… such worthy tools of literacy.

Barbekudos
How is it that I shimmer
On this silver turquoise mirror
Not in sunset, not in moonlight
But exquisitely suspended
As the fires for the parties
Carcinogenically started
Smoke their huddles of fast fooders
As the dusk brings ‘Barbekudos’.
Soft
Soft
The world in white silence clad
`Til…
Scrape
The shovel rips white cotton world.
Then crow
Or seagull
Breaks the sound suspense
In a sense offensive
Innocence offended.
Soft
The contours of sweet slumber girl
Still warmth…
To countenance the rise and fall
Beside myself
In welcome duvet wrapped….
Soft.
