    About this ebook

    I've been writing since the Dawn of Time. You can find other works by me under Smashword, and Apple.
    Happy Hunting! Most of them are not as disjointed - or deeply personal - as these poems, and for some reason (known only to you) as popular.
    Thanks for making these poems a success. Please let me know how you're doing with your own poems..
    I find that revisiting McKuen, Frost, Wordsworth, Poe, Rilke, and all the great poets on whose shoulders we stand always replenishes the well.

      Who made loud noises on the monkey bars

      while their mothers screeched after them like

      crazy ducks.

      There are no second acts he said

      Except that its not always true - this was a second act

      right here, and he listened to the cool breezes and

      thought about holding her close in the sand.

      Her teeth white and her skin warm as she squinted

      Into the sun smiling and happy with no portent

      Of the future or bad feelings. This was the perfect day

      Banana-fish or no, and the sand could close over them both

      He would never again be as
