This page of the site contains a collection of poems, stories and essays I enjoy sharing. My approach to poetry is to create collages from published poems I have enjoyed, perhaps a phrase in a poem got me thinking about something personal. Originality of every line is not my goal, so I don't think of myself in the formal sense as a poet. The essays and stories are pretty much my own ideas and words, if anyone evey has such a thing. POETRY AND STORIES
A Taoist’s Prank
the sea and the land make love in the sand,
the sand lies hot in the sun.
And the sun looks down and the sun looks down and the sun looks down at the sun.
When palms cast half-remembered spines
upon the tropic snow,
the salvaged bones of long-dead fish
make more than milk to feed the mind
if you and he are part of she
than she is part of me.
What two and one can never be
is three beneath the sun.
