    The several new poems that were added to this book are also uncomplicated and easy to read. Notably, I invite young and old alike to read the entire collection, and pause and ponder each poems meaning. Many of the poems are a straightforward collection that reflects on an assortment of life experiences and emotions.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Letting Go

      Apr 30, 2018

      For years my mother warned me. “Before you know it,” she’d say, “they’ll be off and away.” But I never believed her. How could I? My kids were in the middle of everything, of the everything that was my life. For twenty years it felt natural to drop e

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Buzz the Bee

      Old Buzz left the beehive to be on his own,

      but for the life of him, he couldn’t

      leave people alone.

      He loved to buzz around your head,

      buzzing some crazy song; and got the nerve

      to expect you to sing along.

      It’s no use telling Buzz you are not a singer,

      because with a smile he’ll point to his stinger.

      Now if you ever were stung by a bee,

      you know it hurts really bad, so it wouldn’t

      be smart to make old Buzz mad.

      Buzz isn’t a bad bee, as bees go,

      but he’s a little pushy and needs to take it slow.

      There are a lot of birds out here

      that wouldn’t put up with Buzz’s mess

      and wouldn’t think twice about taking him

      to their nest.

      Buzz needs help; this we all know,

      but who’s going to tell him so?

      Maybe someone can go to the beehive

      and talk to the queen bee, to tell Old Buzz to let us be.

      Now the Queen told us, and it ain’t funny,

      but Buzz been high for some time on day-old honey.

      Growing Near

      She does not sound the same as before;

      could this be a sign that angels

      are calling for her at heaven’s door?

      At times like this, I never know the right

      thing to say, but being a friend of the angels,

      maybe they will grant me a wish and keep

      her due date at bay.

      There is no need to tell them about her undying love

      and what she means to us all. If their records

      did not reflect such, they wouldn’t be the ones

      making the call.

      Their God

      Isn’t it amazing that when the inevitable happens

      on this earth and damage is done,
