07-31-15 Summer Central Park Snapshots

Melted ice cream
On the sidewalk

Dogs splash
In fountains

A cool drink
Of fresh water

Run around
Breathe the air



 

07-30-15 Spicey Cajun Blackened Style

We've got to go right now
You've got to go back home
They've got to go for the gold
I've got to relax a little bit

Dry rubbed crispy wings with a kick

Hot blooded bliss in kisses
Tonight we bring the hot heat
Like pure fire raining down on us
Then we all go to heaven







   



   

07-29-15 Subway Daydream

Standing out on the platform
Thinking about life problems
Still bitter about the bad times
Believing things will get better






   

07-28-15 Immune To Your Poison

Down the long road
We find our spirit guide
Following shapes of stars
Carrying the fire around

Navigate through rough seas
Push those bad days behind
Move confidently into the future
Picking the best pickles in the patch

Negative energy poisoned your heart
Destiny was never in the cards for sure
Cold drinks move silently in your brain
I think you can still read between the lines

Don't challenge me
I will fight you relentlessly
You'll never see it coming
And you'll never forget it





   

07-27-15 In Suspended Animation

Safe inside the box
Protected from everything
Frozen in a living time capsul
Quietly at rest for all eternity




   

07-26-15 Be Kind

Reach your hand out
To help someone else
Who is in need

Make an effort
To be a good guy
As you go through life

Be selfless
On your sacred journey
In this crazy world

Teach others the value
Of kindness and compassion
To serve mankind




 

07-25-15 Swan Dive

It's a whole lotta fun
Insane excitement
Go again another time
Don't think about it
Take a deep breath
Ride the wind
Splash down
Jump for joy
Be free




   

07-24-15 Intercepted Transmission From Space

Superstar radiation torture
Hit the books any old time
Ready to hit the road slowly
The birds are back in town
Slowly returning to the gold
Junk food midnight snack treat
On patrol with the block party
Breathe in the fresh clean air
Get back to the spot on command
Take a rocketship to the moon





   

07-23-15 Lazy Warriors

Relaxing in the sunshine
Warmer than saltwater
No stress blessed obsessed
No reason to work today
French fries and ice cream
Early splash in the pool
A cold refreshing drink
Fighting hard to stay awake
Before falling fast asleep





 

07-22-15 Written In The Stars

Blazing arrow
Like a comet
Shot across the sky
To touch the stars

Rocket ship
Soaring high
Into outer space
Beyond our boundaries

Supernova explosion
Galactic annihilation
Save the children
Travel two by two





     

07-21-15 For When You Feel Down

Inspire yourself

To be the best 

Don't settle for less

07-19-15 New Juicy Hamburger Blues

You're not sitting
At the cool table

You're not sitting
On the pool table

Dinosaur breakfast
Sweet romantic lunch

Insanity out on the balcony
Penthouse skylight morning

Sleeping all afternoon again
Eating hot lunch at the Burger King





     

07-18-15 Good Luck Poem

Win a billion dollars
Dreams come true
Find the holy grail
Dodge a bullet

Live a good life
Make a difference
Save the planet
Be kind to others

Gold coin
Rabbit's foot
Four leaf clover
Charmed I'm sure

May
Good fortune
Shine
Upon you




   

07-17-15 Bryant Park Morning Madness

Subway breakdown sunshine
Stroll through Times Square
On my way to work today
Electric energy on the street
Tourists take a million photos
As I boogie down Broadway
On a warm summer morning
New York stories in motion
Yawning before my coffee
Cutting through Bryant Park

Take a deep breath

Tall buildings tower above
Random characters reading
Behind the great old library
Wake up in a beautiful daze
Ozone haze sparkling around
Yellow taxis and city buses
Police car sirens wailing loudly
Sitting quietly in tranquil peace
Away from the everyday hustle
While the whole city blossoms





   

07-16-15 Superstition Suspicion

slight of shade
quick hands move
blink of an eye
return to diamonds

swimming in shadows
fast flash drive chaos
something you said
doesn't make sense





   

07-15-15 Spin The Pinwheel

mail fail frail ice tail
nail down stale chips
hail storm pale worm
swarm warm bad form

roll the dice blind find
rewind time green slime
be kind to your free mind
climb inside a winning grind





 

07-14-15 Golden Days Of Our Best Years

Spring run gas balloon fun
Fall tour ninety four on the road
Up the east coast into infinity

   

 

07-13-15 Cascadia

Middle of the night
Suddenly frightened
At that exact moment
When it all changed
Forever until the end

Rumble into a brumble
Crumbling underground
The sound of dogs barking
Fires burning everywhere
Chaos in a state of emergency

Tsunami waves swallow
A storm of rubble debris
Swept away in an instant
Into a soup of destruction
Washing over the toxic city





   

07-12-15 Broken Down Dream Factory

One hour photo
World wide web
Pulling strings
Behind your back

Sell the old farm
Feed the fish
Look for the code
Hide from dreams

Invent the war
Invest in the guns
Blow up the world
All the way home




   

07-11-15 Late Afternoon At Yankee Stadium

Feed the animals
See it all
And have some fun

Be a child at heart
Remember the joy
Live on the line

Eat junk food
Yell and scream
Forget about it all

Play ball




 

07-10-15 Bittersweet

Revenge on a silver platter
Several patterns emerge over time
Friends move in circles around us
You had to find out the hard way




   

07-09-15 Apocalyptic Enlightenment

Civil war in the streets
Southern hospitality

Cities on the verge of collapse
Metropolitan decay

Cloud formations in sunlight
Heavenly illumination

Classic case of self destruction
Eternal hellfire






   

07-08-15 The End Of The World Is Upon Us

MARKET CRASH WATCH OUT
BARBARIC TERRORIST ATTACK
COMPUTER HACKERS STRIKE BACK
PLANE CRASH WRECKAGE FOUND
LOST AT SEA FOR THIRTY DAYS
EARTHQUAKE DESTRUCTION
SUPER STORM FLASH FLOOD
TRANSPORTATION CRISIS
MASSIVE POWER OUTAGES
WORLD PEACE DECLARED
EXTINCTION OF ALL LIFE

07-07-15 Sharks At The Shore

Refuse to use applications
Scarecrows living underground
On another planet we live again
Rise to the occasion going crazy

Summer french fries in ketchup
Saltwater stingray sunburn seaweed
Riding on ocean waves crashing
Shark attack bloodbath at the beach

Hinted at powerful crystal magic
Swimming at the hidden waterfall
Fried chicken and a cold root beer
The meaning of life is meaninglessness





 

07-06-15 Haiku About Waffles

Hot melted butter
Crispy around the edges
Sweet maple syrup




   

07-05-15 Journey Of A Tired Time Traveler

Red apples on your left
As soon as you open the door
Warmer welcomes never seen
Invisible eyes off the top

Up the staircase into heaven
Flashing lights and cartoon colors
Over the rainbow into outer space
Sonic landscapes evolve into visions

Time travel gets old after a while
Your strange trip is getting weirder
Going home to where you need to be
Lost in an alternate reality for eternity




 

07-04-15 Cherry Lolipop Firecracker Kisses

stunning beauty from above
life unfolds before your eyes
summer breeze flowing in
through your open windows

fireworks exploding in the distance
a little bit of love goes a long way
the smell of freedom floats in the air
hot sweetness sweating out open pores

we are young and having fun
light the fuse then run run run



   

07-03-15 Nostalgia Act

Those old songs
Bring back memories
Of when we were young
To feel so good again






 

07-02-15 Cool Down Slow

Sitting on a bench
In a quiet little spot
Breathing fresh air
On a blue afternoon
Under an orange sun
Blazing summer heat
Peace and tranquility




 

07-01-15 My Golden Son Shines

You are my magic

The kiss of true love

Put under your spell

The art of affection 

You are the spirit

That guides my way

On the road of life

Deep down in my heart

You are the light

That shines in my soul

Glowing so bright

Don't ever forget it
