My favorite greeting is "Mind the Cows" I feel fragile when the going gets tough I am not very good at whys nor hows And yet under fire seem agile enough To have dodged danger a very long while Wearing my mentally-disabled smile
I like drinking tea and going to sea And I want to live in England someday The government here is not fond of me And might likely like me to move away I am kind to cats I like friendly dogs I like to hear crickets at night (and frogs)
I am afraid of ladies but love them I love to read my poetry out loud I love young people and have three of them Life makes me humble but they make me proud I have a weakness for good cigarettes I have only bad ones but no regrets
I am as poor as a person can be Yet am not homeless nor do I need much I am rich in friends who care about me I am at once both in and out of touch I get depressed yet know that I am blessed So "Mind the Cows" (and never mind the rest)
This write is really tops, also. I'm glad you put them on the bio page. That's how I round them. Since you don't have many poems, I'll be reading more in the future. I hope, at least. Cheers again.
Your poem, "Specificities" sounds like an autobiography that depicts a man satisfied with his lot. The line, "I am as poor as a person can be" should likely be "as rich as" since you are able to see both sides of the coin and deal positively with it. I loved the line, "Wearing my mentally-disabled smile." I think I'm guilty of that one sometimes. Interesting poem, and well-done.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.

This is whimsical, wistful, and fun, all at the same time. Good one!
A man wants to be rich until he finds that riches only eat at his Integrity.
God bless,
