Stormy Saturday
rain clouds threaten the party
and we all scramble for a dry spot
when the rain comes down this hard
the water reaches for the higher ground
maybe we can build a boat
and sail down the street
the first leg in our round the world cruise
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
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
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
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
Reach Out
reach out to others
reach up for a helping hand
to reach all your goals
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.
All Told
the first you love forever
the second is not as good
and the third you settle for
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,

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
