What You Will FInd Here ...

Join me in my celebration of life and language through poetry. You will find no hint of literary snobbery here. Much like our beloved English ... THIS poet is very much alive, fun-loving, growing and changing!

A Sign of Our Time



It’s a sign of our time
So many dear ones
Used up their last dime

It’s a sad commentary
I no longer read headlines
Their jolting makes me wary

I have surgically cut out
All luxurious “extras”
I abhor this burning drought

Has prosperity passed?
Grim-gritty-grunting-grind!
Can ingrained spunk outlast?
Or is poverty … a state of mind?
