Sled Dog
No matter which way he does face
In his eye you see the race
From start to finish at winning pace.
He is the sled dog, born of faith.
Though he once pulled heavy loads
In course of daily work and toil
Now he races to serve his creed
Of serving man in face of need.
He is indeed a northern breed
Of the true North strong and free
Of harsh conditions, freezing cold
And true resolve of spirits bold.
In his eyes you see the light
Of that spirit burning bright.
He loves that challenge, surging fast

Keeping rabbits
After the German army surrendered, life was tough
the army had employed many to do road work and
repairing bridges, the allies had bombed.
With freedom of movement to roam in the night
followed theft of food items like the man who
stormed into a bakery waving a rusty Mauser gun
stealing bread; the coal depot needed security
guards as did the sausage producer.
The police force was reduced, and many officers had been
fired since they had been Nazi sympathizers during
the war of occupation; mind, many trickled back ...

Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022
Elizabeth;
Of immensely esteemed birth.
Highly respected in life,
but more respected in death.
Having a crown that ceased to decay
for many decades long.
A queen of kings, but still a wife,
custodian of traditions strong.
She that saw historic anniversaries,
She that saw millennial discoveries,
She that transcends previous monarchies
in length of days and pivotal reign.
Queen of a realm of historic gains,
where the sun never sets on their plains.
All to Westminster their griefs convey
to our departed who countless...

Going All In
When you know everything you need to know
Feel everything you need to feel
When it all comes together
Push all of your being
To become an unstoppable force
Those with you will fight alongside you
Those apathetic will be left behind
Those against you will be crushed
You are The Unstoppable Force
Don't YOU forget it
Feel everything you need to feel
When it all comes together
Push all of your being
To become an unstoppable force
Those with you will fight alongside you
Those apathetic will be left behind
Those against you will be crushed
You are The Unstoppable Force
Don't YOU forget it

oil Jackpot in Norway
Oil jackpot
When coming home from the ship, his coastal town
was in an uproar from every window, people shouted
and banged pot pans together
People danced in the street, which was unheard of
young people shamelessly made love under oaks
so eagerly that trees that had been around forever
lost their leaves.
At home, his mother hollered, from the window
we are richer than the Americans, wealthier then
the Saudis.
His father said, no point going back to see if we can
Pakistanis and the Philippines for this.

Incredibly Incredible
Anyone can say you are my hero,
But their action they display, does it show
Why they're your hero today?
Not all heroes wear capes,
Heroes take shape.
Mine took form, the day I was born.
But What if I told you!
She became my perfect Silver lining in life.
When I had felt nothing could ever feel right,
She became my protector
but don't get me wrong
she was not afraid to give me a lecture, if she knew it would make me strong!
She is braver than I can say about most,
And this is why, ...

Hollow
It's what your name means
Who decided to name the first child
Hollow...
Did they know something we didn't?
Names... They have meaning
They impact us in ways we don't realize
Sometimes I swear... That's all you are
Hollow...
You save lives... Fight fires
In all regards you are a hero
Meeting and surpassing everything
And yet... You message me...
When that exterior seemingly cracks
And the space underneath your skin
Reveals the empty void that lays there
Hollow
Space is a hollow that holds stars and galaxies ...

Younger Person’s Clothes
The dreams and hopes of youth
may change as one ages
the function of life experiences
and also the loss of naivety
A lad in junior and senior high
wanted to shape government
be the first male African American
US Senator of the most populated state
Head heroes, some who were politicians
others who critiqued society with songs
poems and dramatic parts
a strong sense of connectivity
Working my way through under graduate

Just Bill
Many a person we could call a hero but
have to clarify or restrict the word
but Bill Russell was always “Bill”
and “Bill” was good enough
The NCAA titles the NBA champions
rings for each finger plus one
defensive standard for centers
consummate team player
But what equally gains my respect
is his human rights advocacy
put on clinics for children in the South
heard Doctor King’s great speech
Use his feet and voice to oppose
segregation in restaurants
and in the public schools
incurring...

Into the Missed
Into the Missed
There's those
whose thoughts
are blues
as dots
that never
nowhere....
no,
not again.
Those were
the ones
who,
in my memory,
were perfection,
in all directions,
forever
new.
My last look
may not be
as stellar as
the sky
that birthed me,
but
I'm the same
as ever was....
even moreso.

The Amorist
Men, think tonight...as you are getting laid,
"Are there any riches better than this?"
Better than anything else you are paid
Which will not support your next wooing kiss?
Well obviously the answer is no.
So why do some men value more their truck
Or polish hogs to be the best in show
Rather than making effort for a fuck
Which they'll remember to their dying day
As the finest of all possible luck?
Why not prioritize a different way
To see her more by Cupid's arrow struck
After launching from all your deepest wishes?
Cupid...
