Dandelion grows
Is it a flower or weed
I really don’t know
With its color so golden
Tis beautiful none-the-less

Another Year Down
Another year down
Yet I feel no different
Celebrating birth
A half century plus one
Seems like just another day

Parents and Children
Parents and children
A bond that can’t be broken
No matter the age
Nothing could be more special
Under the eyes of heaven

Warm Sun on My Face
Warm sun on my face
Desert breeze whisking my skin
Southwestern summer
The desert knows no seasons
For it is its own master

Government in Bed
Government in bed
With corporate America
Fascism reborn
Mussolini may be dead
But his beliefs are alive

Violence Erupts
Violence erupts
Does it really make your case
It could be a trap
Turning the cause into crime
Hoping the message is lost

Clouding of Judgement (Tanka)
Clouding of judgement
By bravery in a bottle
Have another drink
You’ll think you’re invincible
Until the painful morning

A Higher Standard (Tanka)
A higher standard
Sacrificed to man’s mistakes
We are all human
When too much to live up to
It guarantees our failure

Serenading Me (Tanka)
Serenading me
Songbirds in the cottonwoods
A lovely alarm
To wake to nature’s music
Just as Heaven intended

Fascinating Mind (Tanka)
Fascinating mind
It changes like the weather
First happy then sad
If nothing else it’s fickle
Believing just what it wants
