The poet is a madman lost in adventure. – Paul Verlaine
in memory of my father, a funny and gentle man
who was about as far as you could get from a bad ass.
but instead,
he was just my dad
who was a busy madman in the ad world during the week.
but
who i watched this movie with,
many times.
along with every other
wwll, madcap comedy, western, and crime caper,
on saturday afternoons.
in our family room,
with sandwiches, and burnt popcorn and lemonade.
thanks for the gifts
of shared time,
a boundless imagination,
and a love of the magic of the movies.

The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word. ~ Mata Hari
as the baby ballerinas wait backstage for their moment in the sun –
emotions are mixed.
and at last
they are in the spotlight.
and one little dancer goes rogue.
and decides to go solo.
and that is a sure sign.
that she is one of my clan.
and i love her even more for that.

the aussies are coming! the aussies are coming!
and i couldn’t be happier.
part of my family lives down under.
and soon
they will be up top with us for a while.
and i will have my dream
of all of the daughters
and all of the sons in law
and all of the grand babies
in one place at one time.
and it is sure to be an adventure.
