I'm back, with some poems, and some non-poetry news....

Sorry for the increasing gaps between posts here. I've been busy doing all kinds of creative things. First, some recent poems, and then some recent projects.


global warming
there's no May there



between library patrons
I slip a poem
into my notebook



favorite new title:
"The massive book
of special ops"


Pre-birthday jitters:

Now the projects. As you can probably tell, I am working at a public library these days. When I am not writing poetry or working at the library, I have been working on three writing projects. I have an article posted on the Web Site of the Advocate. Please click here to read it.

Through Tiger's Eyes is a new children's book that is soon to be available through Lulu.com. Edward B. Snyder did the original paintings, Bill Weber wrote the story and he and I collaborated on the poems. Click here for the book's very own Web site.

And as I've mentioned, I am putting the final touches on my second chapbook, called Cats Dream. More will be revealed . . . .

On the road again

winter to summer
overnight -- dead sparrow
on the street



night-time van ride
the driver hums a
different song
than the one
on the radio



Getting Lucky

empty
pack of lucky
strikes on the sidewalk, as
a contrail unzips the evening
skyline
