Poet Introduction
Writing poetry is the catalyst in my quest for authenticity and the conduit through which I express my deepest thoughts and emotions.

Contrast
A world of contrast
is a world of love
a world without
is at best tedious
at worst dangerous
stop goose-stepping
with sycophant masses
waddle, sidle
If you want
be idle
do a chicken dance
although It may may ruin
your chance for romance
from self expression
don’t be deterred
be your own bird
Watch British Parliament
it’s a curious delight
like schoolboys gathered
‘cause someone yelled FIGHT!
cacophonous,
contentious,
cantankerous
heated debate ...

Permanence is a choice
the vicissitudes of life
are not wholly unpredictable
nor are they irreversible
life can always be enhanced
like touching up a photograph
Crop and Resize
All are beset
with ancillary clutter
though sometimes beautiful,
seemingly beneficial
or habitual behaviors
to well-being prejudicial
they distract from
subjects of true importance
crop them out
without regret
enjoy life with enhanced focus
and if ones physicality
threatens to speed mortality
or vanity...

Inhabiting Earth

favoring instead
earthly learned malignancy

Innate goodness

Perpetual Pugilist - Third Fight
From family gym ejected
the Summer before
final amateur season
left in ring adrift
as a rudderless boat
with no cutman, promoter, or coach
fighting now as welterweight
opponent's blows
come faster stronger
from bobbing and weaving
all faculties spent
disheartened, grieving
resigned to defeat
blessed bell sounds
ending the round
Turning to lonely corner
big smile erupts
on bruised, swollen face
members of a friendly gym
had taken the place
of forner disparaging seconds
with wounds...

Testimony - Team Building
I like to imagine
that all of humankind
was by the Great Architect
employed to work together
one happy collective
bringing the master plan to fruition
executing every detail
of the divinely drawn blueprint
with love and precision
perhaps we chaired
the development team
that, using the anatomical
template as foundation,
determined our innate traits
eye, hair, skin color
In all their many hues and shade
with no selection
deemed superior to another
perhaps we tuned
our own vocal chords

Testimony - Source
I know
there is a Higher Power
greater than any
terrestrial force
the architect
the designer
of our Universe
over which
they now govern
unique guidance providing
to numberless offspring
If their counsel is sought
via the miraculous, divine
telecommunication of prayer
available to all gratis
freely to use or not
known to most,
and by many names
the love, kindness
patience, concern,
and power to heal
Is for all the same

Up Sell - Part 2
In spite of insistent pleas
to take the knees and leave
Unable to resist Diphthong’s tease.
Crossing the store
mid vehement protestation
“Listen I’m flesh ‘n’ bone
not made of money, babe.”
What’s your problem honey?
Don’t you want a man that’s…
Wow! I’m strictly anti-guns
but with those beauties
I’m certain to have fun
“Ah sir you’ve a discerning eye.
These arms are expertly hand-crafted
With lightweight titanium frame
Built to be all-weather.

Good evening,
Welcome to Artificios, New York!
My name is diphthong.
I am sensing you need assistance
and I’m rarely wrong
Yes, please!
I’m told that you stock
the most sought after knees
“Yes, sir! Here they are
made of strongest material on earth,
carry a lifetime guarantee.”
Pray tell, whose lifetime will that be?
I speak in jest I know they’re the best
That my knees should work
as they did at birth.
“That they will, that they will sir”
All settled, I’ll take the pair.
“Before I process the transaction, ...

Day On The Bay With Father - Underway
Launching from the Oakland Estuary
a busy waterway off Alameda Island
where smaller craft must be wary
of much larger vessels, tankers and such
Dad lifts toward heaven
the twenty two and a half foot mast
Assuresall lines and ropes are attached
fires up the outboard will use
to traverse the aqua avenue
that empties on the San Francisco Bay
recall being in awe
of the immensity of the place
serenaded by colonies of seagulls
speckling clear cobalt blue sky
chanting a hardy bon voyage
a busy waterway off Alameda Island
where smaller craft must be wary
of much larger vessels, tankers and such
Dad lifts toward heaven
the twenty two and a half foot mast
Assuresall lines and ropes are attached
fires up the outboard will use
to traverse the aqua avenue
that empties on the San Francisco Bay
recall being in awe
of the immensity of the place
serenaded by colonies of seagulls
speckling clear cobalt blue sky

Wind Chimes
Hanging on the patio beams
Waiting to commence
the healing
cacophonous dance
First, a gift from my daughter
whilst traveling in china purchased
Sacred-appearing peal
of miniature brass bells
surround amber marble clapper
suspended from
shrunken temple roof
serenely ringing
when wind meets the surface
of ancient coin sail
Second, brood of doves from Mexico
white, glass harmonious flock
wings colliding
when blown side to side
emitting magical tinkling sound
as if summoning
some fairy...

Flamenco
In fluid sensual journey
reaching skyward
pick fruit from branch
In cascading motion
pause at painted lips
arm descending
toward the ground
fruit escapes backhanded grasp
tossed gently backward
from guitar excited hips
black hair in tight chignon
adorned with large red flower
black eyes mesmerize
radiant gems shimmer
In visage stern, impassioned
crimson tight fitted dress
ruffles to the floor
moves in waves frenetic
to the strums of gypsy chords
feet stomp as if ablaze
energy flows ...

Up Sell - Part 3
Diphthong, please,
don’t encourage further purchases.
We’ve already spent
twenty thousand Orwell’s
and sixty five Verne’s
Thank you for your services.
But you’re unsympathetic to our
Financial concerns.
I beg to differ
Saving you money
Has been top of my mind
The entire time
my dogged sales perseverance
Is magnanimous not phony
An Installation of this kind
is not covered by insurance.
That said
I have one final offer
A vision, hearing upgrade.
Perfect sighted eyes ...
don’t encourage further purchases.
