Personality Assessment
Creative, free spirited fellow
Amiable, mellow, deep thinking dude
Malleable mind imbued curiosity
People pleaser no scarcity of charm
Angers rarely, harms none with intent
Ill will often spent chastising himself
Great wealth is found in human connection
Never sated sensual predilection for intimate romance
Eschewing the expected dance instead steps in time to self composed beat
Recoils if micromanaged not due to conceit or pride
Stated simply, the master inside demands authenticity.

Bygone
I’d like to shake you free,
like dust off my sandals,
an old remnant of my past --
but you’re like gum in my hair,
so sticky in my soul.
I’ve relinquished those old dreams,
don’t even need your attention;
still you linger in my thoughts,
a melody I can’t un-hear,
making unexpected visits.
I’ll never quite discard you;
something in my heart says
I must stay a little connected,
let you know I’m still around,
just in case you’re not ok.

let you know I’m still around,

F.A.M.E (Feel All My Emotions)
Contradictory to what I think
These vowels keep throwing up in the sink
I woke up this morning with a bladder of P
And a wicked hangover from my poetry T
My bud was weak and my beer was high
My eyes were red but my tears were dry
My weight was Y not even explained
My dignity X ploded and strained
My train of thought is literally stranded
Chilling on the tracks where U was reprimanded
My writing license is revoked
My homie J just got smoked
My tricky writer’s block eloped
Lucky Charms drove down my throat
My neck is stiff...
These vowels keep throwing up in the sink
I woke up this morning with a bladder of P
And a wicked hangover from my poetry T
My bud was weak and my beer was high
My eyes were red but my tears were dry
My weight was Y not even explained
My dignity X ploded and strained
My train of thought is literally stranded
Chilling on the tracks where U was reprimanded
My writing license is revoked
My homie J just got smoked
My tricky writer’s block eloped
Lucky Charms drove down my throat
My neck is stiff...

Dear Depression
You probably don’t get much
in the way of gratitude or compliments.
So, I just want to say thanks.
(Not for the way you’ve lurked in the background
for much of my life – that actually sucks.)
But thanks for choosing when you did to really rage.
Of course, five years ago, it seemed like horrible timing,
with cancer and dementia and chronic disease
haunting my family all around me…
but at least I was expected to need support then.
And I had the best of friends around to provide it.
So, I got the help I needed.
I learned about you...
in the way of gratitude or compliments.
So, I just want to say thanks.

Music Passion Three
Classical
Noble and lofty aspirations
flourish exponentially
and flee all less-than consternation's
when immersed in symphony
scores of instruments harmonize
proving peace and beauty thrive
when passion’s purpose unifies
Both heart and soul
are cleansed and comforted
By sonata, nocturne
or barcarole
I can hear dearly missed
grandfather talk
when on solacing cello
Yo Yo Ma plays Bach
Tingles, my body permeate
mind soars
In sweet romantic fantasy
sensual desires satiate ...

Peepers
The peepers are peeping!
That means spring is coming;
soon bees will be humming -
it’s time to stop weeping.
The peepers are peeping!
From cold muddy ditches
sharing musical riches:
They’ve finished their sleeping.
The peepers are peeping!
Summer’s just ‘round the bend!
This dark mood I’ll transcend
as my hope it comes creeping.
The peepers are peeping!
Blessed loud wee froggies!
Peep away all my smoggies -
set my joyful heart leaping!
That means spring is coming;

Old Saw, New Perspective
Lips were custom made
to the mouthpiece of one's horn
None other labra will fit.
To make unique noise,
for this you were born.
Your song can’t be played
with the same pitch or poise.
Unless you stand up, shoulders back,
and in confident fortissimo toot it.
We all are tuned for excellence.
Designed to harmonize together.
Universe suffers dissonance.
If one hides their music forever.
The climb to consonance begins
when one mounts that first stair
Take your seat, learn from the Master.
And one day you’ll...
to the mouthpiece of one's horn
None other labra will fit.
To make unique noise,
for this you were born.
Your song can’t be played
with the same pitch or poise.
Unless you stand up, shoulders back,
and in confident fortissimo toot it.
We all are tuned for excellence.
Designed to harmonize together.
Universe suffers dissonance.
If one hides their music forever.

when one mounts that first stair
Take your seat, learn from the Master.
And one day you’ll...

Drawing Circles
The puddles I engorge
Falsify my course of action
Cemented in the past they forge
A permanent reminder of my traction
Daily struggles I juggle
While acrobatically walking the line
Watching every step for trouble
I ensure I don’t recline
Careful of my existence
I keep track of every foot
Looking back to calculate the distance
As if it were residual output
Pushing through the crowd of eyes
I slowly begin to realize
The world is backward and full of lies
Napo, Napo 21 surely flies
March drums...
Falsify my course of action
Cemented in the past they forge

Pushing through the crowd of eyes

Music Passion Two
R&B
childhood joy
appreciably grew
when I found
The Motown sound
middle aged boy
many years flew
still I tug that whistle cord
singing “TOOT TOOT” with the Pips
In the living room dancing
with my fun-loving big sis
arms water wheel, synchronous hips
swaying to Spinner’s, O’Jays
and Temptation’s hits
Jazz
Temple of free expression
infuses me with avant garde cool
in unified jamming session
unique instrument voices pool
Dixieland, that happy contagion,

Bad Guy
You say I don’t understand…
that your wickedness is the worst ever,
the epitome of evil…
that your arrogance and destructiveness can’t be forgiven,
that I’m too pure to comprehend,
and that’s why you can’t be real.
I just have to laugh.
You have no idea how many ways
inside my mind
I have murdered you,
cut you to pieces,
and danced on your burnt bones.
We all have demons,
and I’m sorry, but yours aren’t special.
They wreak their havoc
(just like mine)
and whisper the lie that they own you.
But they do...
that your wickedness is the worst ever,
the epitome of evil…
that your arrogance and destructiveness can’t be forgiven,
that I’m too pure to comprehend,
and that’s why you can’t be real.
I just have to laugh.
You have no idea how many ways
inside my mind
I have murdered you,
cut you to pieces,
and danced on your burnt bones.
We all have demons,
and I’m sorry, but yours aren’t special.

and whisper the lie that they own you.

Fetching Me A Poem
Distractions work well
When I’m thinking about what to write
It doesn’t matter where I dwell
My poetry factory is always in flight
My wife is at work
My daughter is in school
My inspirations a total jerk
And I’m still blanking out like some washed-up fool
The silence is lonely
This empty house is quite boring
This is my testimony
How writing poetry can be so choring
When I’m thinking about what to write
It doesn’t matter where I dwell
My poetry factory is always in flight
My wife is at work
My daughter is in school
My inspirations a total jerk
And I’m still blanking out like some washed-up fool
The silence is lonely
This empty house is quite boring
This is my testimony
