O’ Marella, you lacy little crabs!
You and your adroit copepods knew exactly what I’d have!
You were, “movin’ to the groove,” when I found me, “in a rut”
(. . . Adages, from the Conchs of Alabaster behooving all abut!)
Associates, free commensal’s, like the parasitic louse . . .
Analogized to man, on w’are's, we well nigh the said house!
I found Metazoa fresh . . . Cnidaria, salty as a beach!
Whether cloistered in a cave, or lying, in a bromeliad leaf. . .
Many were long, some were short, others buoyed, or foraged shale's. . .
Consorting with all subsisting cells, wet behinds to tidy whales!
Moving towardly, siding streams. . . (I hooked too much cavil on the lakes!)
Such outlandish looking creatures, we are, mainsprings, whole, on down to flakes!
O’ Chela! . . . of the free-living fleas! . . . abroad all else, the strung out, one-eyed cows!
. . . wherein endo, exogenous, or interdependent, all of phyla bows!
Then, one day, cleansing in my seas, eying on the whorl . . .
Suddenly, shut inside this lamellibranch, seized in viscous, I found. . . my Pearl!
What style you have! I've never read anything quite like this before.
The words literally dance around the page. I am still trying to focus. Smiling, Carol

Here you take language by the scruff of the neck and bend it to your highly creative will; wonderfully adroit and funny and original and oh so powerful.

Dang, what a wild string of itchy critters, Kimmers! But, a "one-eyed cow"? No wonder that Cow was Mad :-)
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
My book of poetry is being redone by me, I have a beautiful cover designed and the book will have a few more than 200 poems in it. I am going to have it printed on demand here in Canada. When it is done I will let you know when it is done and if anyo
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,

Iridescent write, dear Poet. . . you know it!
O' Marella, won't you bless me with a lustrous strand!
