Front Line
no longer does the leader lead into battle
instead they are in the back
plotting the death of young men on both sides
who stand on the front line
trusting orders and giving it their all without question

Week 35, Day 245 – “Front Line”
Week 35, Day 244 – “Dreams Achieved”
Dreams Achieved
rain comes down when dreams are acheived
and the children dance shoeless in the street
splashing in the gathering gutter waters
until we’re all choked up with proud joy
dreams from long ago, set free
and our lives will be forever new
Week 35, Day 243 – “Darkness”
Darkness
eclipse darkness
is an eerie shade
and the devils glow
in harvest moonlight
waiting for their chance
to catch you alone
away from your protectors
Week 35, Day 242 – “Wonder”
Wonder
when I get up in the morning
I wonder what they day will be
when I get to bed at night
I wonder what my dreams may be
Week 35, Day 241 – “Reach Out”
Reach Out
reach out to others
reach up for a helping hand
to reach all your goals
Week 35, Day 240 – “Photo”
Photo
take a picture of me
so you remember the good times
and when I’m not the best
bring it out and just remember
and hope for a return.
Week 35, Day 239 – “All Told”
All Told
the first you love forever
the second is not as good
and the third you settle for
Week 34, Day 238 – “A Letter to Tina Fey”
A Letter to Tina Fey
Hey Tina,
Just writing to get your advice on careers and such. So, I am trying to figure out what I want to do next with my life, and it seems like you are doing pretty well with yourself. Can you give a guy some guidance?
Thanks,

Week 34, Day 237 – “Media Landscape”
Media Landscape
trolls, elves and the unicorn
all dancing with the stars
as the edge of the world
grows to meet the demands
of an ever expanding waste line
plastic cups and AOL cds
all whirling together
in the middle of the ocean
a dead zone filled with plastic
until we are all dead
Week 34, Day 236 – “Thinking”
Thinking
my dad just turned seventy years old
haven’t seen my kid in seven months
two extremes separated by sevens
seven has never been my lucky number
but I am feeling about a seven right now
not really bad enough to hate,
but not good enough to love.
it is these times where I get down
and don’t know what to do
be happy with where I’m at
or ask for more please
just a little bit more, to max it out.
