I have published poems in my hometown newspaper in Amityville, L.I., N.Y. and also in "The American Poet," and in several anthologies. I studied Art-Design. I worked as a Designer of Interiors and my original furniture was showcased in Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Florida and N.Y.C. I also represented artists and worked part-time as a model. I joined ASCAP as a songwriter. I've published a book of poetry: "Jagged Pieces of Colored Glass" by the Sicilian Press. It is available for $16.50 postage paid throughout the US (check or money order only); plastic cover 80 titles, 20 poems interpreted by artist drawings. This includes a poem about the Holocaust and sculptures inspired by the Miami Beach Memorial; design by Kenneth Treister. I am Father to two sons: Justin and Damon.

Peace

Peace...
Peace-are the arms of the world
hugging each other-
each loving another

Peace...
Peace-is casting bread..tortilla..matzo
upon the waters
yet-seeking no "quarters"

Peace...
Peace-is lacing fingers through
tangled paths-with your foe
then sharing the fruits
that your neighbors grow

Peace...
Peace-the confetti of faces
black..yellow..white..and other kind
and all of us-color blind

Peace is the unfettered sleep
the unbolted door-
the center of the universe

It is the see of its core!

Miracles

Touch me...make me goliath!!

Let me be your tenant
In the mansion that you are...
...A mansion with n artifice
Where you can laugh me a garden
And smile-wild flowers...

Then run towards me...
....My partheon in motion
...your eyes polishing diamonds
And your strides....
swift and sure
Beyond
All fences
And past
All your yesterdays....
