What can I say
with the light of mourn
to search for
the lines you adorn
to say
I'm a fan
of your lines of wit
would be to simple
I'd admit
I think

I've

fallen

for
a

poet
just how I feel, right now Thanx B, Doc

I spent so much of my Youth
Searching for reasons & the truth
Why am I here?

What is my route?

Where am I going?

Who gives a hoot?

So much time spent
just wondering why
All that I know
All that I've seen
All that I've dreamed
Can't add up
To  ................

My best friend died yesterday
He was run over
I'm sure he was trying 2 play
But he did not know
The errors of his ways
U C he was just a kitten
Wanting 2 play
I saved him from starvation
In the middle of the Winter
When his mother
Abondened him, she went hither
He clung 2 me every day
I couldn't step
out of his
way
Always he was near me
Always he was dear 2 me
And now he's gone
I just hope cats really do
have 9 lives
So I can C him
Again in the next ONE
2 my Soul Mate, Doc

We've been stripped naked
By Machines of Loving Grace
We walk upright and talk forwards
We call ourselves
The Human Race
We talk between closed doors
And because our beliefs
Do Not Agree
We are made Outlaws
In Our
HOMELAND

We are the Children on an Age
With Fast Thinking Computor
Clocks
And Mind Blowing, Expanding,
WONDER DRUGS
WONDER, Wonder, w o n d e r i n g
Where We Are?
We've Lost Our Dreams
To Reality
(punch me in please)

To our Children
We owe something more
Then Mechanized
DEATH
Something more then a Planet
Without Life, Love, or
BREATH
We'll leave a Box
Filled with Laughter, Tears, Rain, Wind,
Our Way Of Life
May our Children Be Blessed
(bless the children)
I wrote this in 1970, I was 16, thinking of including it in my forthcoming book, would appreciate any feedback, Thanx, Doc

Three Roses Shared
The Same Branch
From Seven Sisters
They Came
Bringing Color,
Fragrance & Thorns
All Valued
The Same
Upon Covered Hands
They Emphisized
The Glory
Without Any Shame
Of the Lives
That Were Tendered
All With The Same
Last NAME
In Memory of my Mother-in-laws Passing through my Wife's Eyes, CH/Doc

While reschearching 4 my book I
discovered this & would like 2 share
It was writen when I was 16 &
still in High School

I was sitting very depressed
Taking a Mathmatics Test
When I noticed this
Written upon my desk
"Smile!
It's not so Bad
It Could Be Worse
But, Don't Ask Me How"
And I Just Had To SMILE
I think this one has 2 go in the new book, Doc

The Wind was White with Winter
Lavender Licked at Twilight's Edges
The Sent of Wood Smoke Smolders
Breath Brittle, the Icicles Crack

Moon Beams Bounch and Glisten
Footsteps Fall SIX Inches Deep
Feathered Fog Furrows Around Mountain Tops
Shadows Stand Stark and Stare Back

The Wind Was White With Winter
Cutting, Clawing, Churning White
Wood, Rock, and Marrow Frozen
Deep Dark Slumber BLACK
This poem was publshed by The National Library of Poetry in 1992,
I didn't want 2 lose it, so here it is, Doc
