POEMS

1 

Picasso's distorted faces

show a repressed angst.

This is rampant in modern art

and displays personalities that are split -

torn apart and filled with rage.

2 [from Writings In Science - my sci fi anthology]

When we are sailing

light years away

how can we still

smell the sea air?

3 [from Writings In Science - my sci fi anthology]

A telescope was made

that magnified the smallest.

There in the eye piece

was a room full of wigglers -

waves that sometimes

merged and strengthened

or trough and crest

vanished away.

4.

Life bustles

is self involved,

active, pushy,

wants every niche,

wants to mate,

and its kids to grow,

wants more sun,

or rain, or food,

and sometimes a day

to celebrate!

5

I began a new sketchbook

and drew a spark!

6.

knowing comes

like a firefly

that bumps your back

in the dark

7.

I looked at my

empty bowl

and the rattling

spoon - a bell!

8.

lines

in my palms

like

I  Ching stalks

 

SAYINGS

 

If there are gravitons, are there anti-gravitons?

 

Rule of evolution - you don't change unless you have to.

 

Dracula, now that's a novel I can sink my teeth into

 

Does the sun have a shadow?

 

You wade in the river where you are.

 

Police are starting Occupy America.

 

Congress is like high school except there are no adults in the room.

 

Truth has a way of being wrong sometimes.
