To Die or Not Too Die
I was suddenly stuck
Really struggled with school
After this incident
That was like first grade
Or something it didn’t matter
With no end in sight
I was already in Hell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I'm Thunder and Lightning
At best
I'm hoping to be Snow but I'm not
It's still raining, kind of
But it's early yet, barely the break of dawn
Maybe if I do something else
Bold to inspire somebody
It'll snow at least for a little while
The Wind, though I've claimed too be
Today I am not, I'm just it's favorite
Muse blowing poetry it's way
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Listening”
As your calm, have you heard the fluttering of the internal wind?
Do you hear a zing as the level rises?
Have you heard the cupping pop of a higher soul moving in?Do you feel the tingle of angel wings as they grow?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I Drop This Book on Ants”
Cyclopedia spinning around
Landing back on a shelf
it shouldn’t?
It looked interesting though
Then I decided to toss
My Understanding Human Communications book
Out the window too
Then I also threw my Psychology book out
But not before I wrote on the cover
I drop this book on ants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iam the Wind
And I blow straight through 2nd raters
Those posers
Sometimes though I even have the ability
To chill myself
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is in fact a Queen
Though the lowest of all Queens
Regardless she is a Queen
Even when I found her
In her crumbled torn in half state
She is the Queen of Diamonds

"Extra Green Valley"
We bridged a divide tonight
We transformed it from darkness
Into one of light
With only a few candles
And some bear footing around
You can bank on this one with us
Bank on the name of this poem
As if we could get the train to honk
At will, at will, as if two rabbits
Were tied together at the ear
Pushing a remote control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I told the crows the sparrows were coming....
they didn't like that so they took off

"United We Stand So Stop Sitting"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
p.s. good witches always win cause they don't have too waste thier energy hidding behind dubious acts
Heck they've got so much energy they are willing to share it with any open heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have now vacated my seat
& choose to write through the heart
straight from my knees

"More Proof"
If I was God I could see my Guardian Angels
At whim....well I can't
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The age of the new beginning
Is when people with open sincerity
Are gonna expose light on the darkness
And take the rest of it’s power
Heck thier already handing it to us

"I Loved The 70's"
I skipped an entire
Term of Summer School
Before anybody even noticed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been asked what my "FairWarning"
sculpture/printmaking piece represents
(if your unfamiluar with the piece I'm talking about please scroll down the page)
I would say "Fair Warning" first off was my way of combining printmaking and sculpture...Artistically I would say it represents how freeing it can be to live with a break though spirit...It's totally intence sometimes and I paint for days...

Wax poured from a candle
Onto a window sill
Makes a great pallet

No matter what your stance
Is on the Bible
Any artist would have to agree
That's it's real bad ju ju
To mess with creation

The Green thumb
Has spoken
And said you are safe
Especially if you suck up
To me

Thier weak link will become strong in my presence, Signed God

"Fair Warning"
Is it sculpture?
Or is it; print making?
Don't worry the professors couldn't
narrow it down either...

This morning I let the snow tingle on my baldness
I returned its favor by burning cones of incense
While the distant honking of a train’s horn
grew closer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We declared mutiny
On self proclaimed Captains
And set sail out on our own
Silly notions

Photography Survival tip
If you're ever lost in the wilderness
During the middle of the Winter
Just follow the deer tracks
Through the snow
Thier bound to lead you
Right in front of a car

It's times like these when we gather
With loved ones and it's snowing children
And the oldest of all of our friends comes
To give the entire family a hug

“How I Learned Poetry and Math”
How many senior years did I have?
How many more lessons about the unrequited
Needs did it allow me to learn?
I can guarantee it can take your imagination
Then it will take it times ten
More then any of your square
Roots ever combined

If you want to truly be more creative
Really?!...Open up all the wires in your brain
Start by putting your mouse in your left hand
and a pencil in your right hand
This entire website is a testiment
of how well that can work

When I broke open
My newest concoction of orange
And it spilled all over me and the floor
I knew I had met my perfect orange
The flood gate was wide open
To be splashed around
As it damn well pleased
A handprint of it
Even made the studio door

“The Growth of Words”
My poetry has reached the shores
Of the Golden State
A 6 line poem
That came waving back
To my driveway
To my mailbox
In the heartland
In the form of a full page
Hand written thank you letter
Adorned with the embossed
Seal of a hummingbird

We argue about many things
But we don't argue
That we can fight off the zombies
With a pen

I paint in the dark
I paint the shadows
Of chains and branches
And other kinds of fences
I take breaks in my Fall nest
Only long enough to breathe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Art isn't hard to do in the dark
In fact most art is edgier,
Rawer this way
For instance tonight
I've been practicing
The drawing of a gun
In this very fashion

Dots and feathers

On my philosophy test
I simply wrote
Teach I'm trying here
But this Western stuff
Seems like a bunch of bickering
I'm heading East
Barefoot to find some Zen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Grade-A "How to Paper"
(in 5 minutes or less)
How to keep racoons away from your campsite
Stay up all night
Tend the fire
Drink
Keep your bottles close enough
To throw at those pesky bastards
It also doesn't hurt to pee around the perimeter
Yelling "Come and get it" in a mocking tone
Once the Sun comes up
Those ninja bastards
Go to bed

On the highway of discovery
We get lost trying to find ourselves
And as soon as we find ourselves
We get lost all over again

I've fought for many a trophy
And held them near
But the most prized and honored of them all
Is a Special Oylmpics ribbon
That was simply given to me
With love

Do you remember riding your bicycle?
Do you remember skipping rocks?
Do you remember drawing pictures?
Why did you stop?
Your not too old for these things
