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

“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

"I Loved The 70's"
I skipped an entire
Term of Summer School
Before anybody even noticed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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

To this new astrology I say
I could be a Ram
but I already bought
Into this Bull

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

"Blessed"
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

A Shaman is only lonely until he breathes...
Then he is more fulfilled...
Then anybody with a 100 breathless friends

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

“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

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

The bracelets
Of Artsy girls
Are the windchimes
That calms my day

On my philosophy mid-term
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

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
