Four Sentiments
Ending In Regret
Most of us wait
for what few of us get
Then start the excuses
—that end in regret
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
Inside Your Heart
With your every smile,
my life grows longer
Both on this earth
—and inside your heart
(To My Grandson Hunter: January, 2014)
The Felony Of Language
The felony of language
is within the larceny
of being neither right
—nor wrong
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
Unspoken Dawn
The morning returns
new verses unheard
rising eternal
—in the unspoken dawn
(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
