Schlitz and Giggles
Pour another round,
Tonight it’s going down!
A couple of more nice cold lagers will do,
My glass is almost empty,
But I know there’s plenty,
Oh you bet we’ll have barrels of fun too.
We’ll remember the times,
Anything that comes to mind,
Laugh at old jokes as if they were new,
We share the same struggles,
We’ll forget about our troubles,
Just for a couple of hours to get us through.
Have another draught,
Surely we’ll have a blast,
The night is young so we’ll let it all unfold,
And our hearts will rejoice, ...

Dreaming in Color (a sonnet)
I dream in color, in all shades and hues,
With vivid and palpable emotions,
Where the fantasies are for me to choose,
With more profound depth than all the oceans.
I relish in the pervasive visions,
That fill my heart with gladness and delight,
Kindly planning with exact precisions,
The colors offer the dream quite the sprite.
I delve into the imagination,
With all abandon, passion, thirst and lust,
In the trance I find complete elation,
With a grand design I’ve come to entrust
In each of us there’s a secret fire,
That in...

A Bad Poem
If I wrote you a really bad poem
Would you be honest and tell me truth
As I explore different ways and forms
I want to be sure I’m making good use
Trying out new things to expand my mind
And eventually write you better verses
But you’ll notice that I’ll code my verses
Getting lost in the meaning of the poem
Even then you don’t really seem to mind
Because within the lines I conceal the truth
It’s true, my poetry is my journal put to use
As I explore different ways and forms
And when I’ve tried new ways and forms
I’ve...

The Legend of Relámpago
I’m going to tell you a story about a masked avenger,
Faster than Zorro and more agile than a luchador,
He fought for those who couldn’t defend themselves,
I’m talking about the one and only – Relámpago!
He had been a lawyer and a local sheriff,
In a small quaint town just north of Mexico,
And one day after the mafia couldn’t buy him,
They killed his family with one harsh blow.
His family’s funeral took place on a rainy day,
Even then the mafia would still not let go,
He was attacked in the middle of their burial,
And left for...

This Ink
There’s something about the way this ink flows
When my words pour slowly onto the page,
As I write these verses, limericks and prose,
I’ve prepared stories setting up the stage.
When my words pour slowly onto the page,
Feeling the ink steadily taking form,
I’ve prepared stories setting up the stage,
The poems are building, getting close and warm.
Feeling the ink steadily taking form,
I’ll follow her wherever she leads me,
The poems are building, getting close and warm,
It’s whatever the inspiration feeds me.
I’ll...

A Distant Shore
Did you ever find what you were looking for?
Were your prayers answered at last?
Did you get there and then saw there’s more?
Do you remember every promise you swore?
Or dId they fade away into the past?
Have they become ghosts you can’t ignore?
Do you reminisce about those days of yore?
Compared to today it’s quite the contrast,
Do you still wonder and then go explore?
Do you ever think about the words I said before?
The conversations we had and what I asked,
Because sometimes it gets me to the core.
Perhaps...

The River is Flowing
The river is flowing freely once again,
After the long winters rain and snow,
Now I must pick up this ink and pen,
Spring’s fresh flourishing and all it’s glow.
I see the sun reflecting in the waterway,
The river is flowing freely once again,
It’s spring’s beautiful glorious display,
It brings simple joy to the hearts of men.
There’s a cool breeze every now and then,
As if winter’s frozen whisper melts away,
The river is flowing freely once again,
Spring’s warm embrace is here to stay.
Now that all the snow has...

Migration
I didn’t believe it when I first had heard of it,
So I booked a cruise to the high seas,
There were rumors it was the end of the world,
Even scientists were baffled and ill at ease.
There were several ships at the destination,
When we got there it was a sight for the eyes,
But all of us were quiet in awe of this miracle,
As the flying whales took off into the skies.
The majestic giants floated upward free,
All the different kinds, in groups and in pods,
They sang a song like a floating Orca-stra,
Answering the calls of some...

Gen X
I was a latchkey kid,
But I also have to admit,
Growing up in the seventies and eighties was fun,
It was a different time,
And I don’t mean to whine,
But I kind of miss those innocent days under the sun.
I was part of the MTV generation,
Like Kool and the Gang’s Celebration,
It was a good time and yet I didn’t even know it back then,
I was a gamer with Atari and Nintendo,
(Millenials - this is an innuendo)
But I used to write down all of my poetry on paper and pen.
My first computer was a dinosaur,
A Commodore 64, ...

Shout-Out to the Underground
With so many poetry websites in cyberspace,
It’s hard to find a place you can call a home,
A corner of your own,
Because regardless of what zone you’re in,
DUP is the place to be, now let me begin:
Here’s a shout-out to the underground,
To the writers who get down,
To the poets from all around the world who hurl verses when the inspiration comes through,
Where they seek the truth,
Where the old talk of youth,
And the young speak in tongues,
Because the future is theirs.
DUP is the place to lit it and spit it,...
