Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The National Library of Poetry honored me with Editor's Choice Awards in 1995 and 1996. I received a diploma for Master art courses in 1996. I am studying on a second. "At times my personal desire is still to conjure up a poem to titillate the soul within us warriors."

Jargon of A Drunk

In the name of his genius word's of wonder.
Who he thinks' his dazzle,
Will cause a tongue, to cleave to the roof
Of one's mouth.
When his great mind, now, the unsealed book.
His baffling description, his mortal funk.
Will surge the wind and harrow up the soul,
That always, makes his audiences, plant struck
Like a duck, seized in a storm of thunder
Only to have the message, pass away
Like he changeable, precarious, summer clouds.

The Dung Hill Cock

With dastard-ness the shirker the sulk.
A barnyard dung hill cock.
Who for the want of confidence his
Wow's of apprehension creates,
His territorial terror and justified delight.

Oh for the want of courage and
The lack of romantic sill.
He stomps with his ego feeding deception
The molting sun burned featherless hen's
Of the hot summer sun.

The lust once inspirer by his early crow
As he routinely counts the highest spiral
Hopefully quickly learned and not forgotten
It's a trumpet calla and a hasty retreat
To a lien in the barricade pound.

A look up to the sky a frantic prayer
For a yearly autumn breeze.
Aha! The smell of rooster pot pie and dumplings
No more fear's the ambush and constant defeat
"Endured."
