The crow, the fence and the bridge
As I approach
The crow jeers
CAW CAW CAW!
Mocking bird

The Art of the Audience
Some works of art remain incomplete
Once the artist has let them go
They need the touch of the audience
Their insight and influence
Wildfire Haze II
Layer upon layer
Smoke on smoke
Thickens, on the rise
Islands and mountains
Fading, in steps of blues and tourquoise
A perfect day
A perfect day begins
In the pre-dawn
Anticipating the sun
In the pre-dawn
Anticipating the sun
I rise
Bring my didjeridu
To some beautiful place
And serenade the dawn
And so it begins
The Children of Kashgar
They run amok
These unwashed ragamuffins
My mother would say
But they are happy
These unwashed ragamuffins
My mother would say
But they are happy
Happy and curious
Enthralled with
The foreigner
And his camera
Vancouver Island Whirlwind
Vancouver Island Whirlwind ~ Images depicting my whirlwind writing and photography tour of Vancouver Island

To recall what was seen
And a little remorse
For what might have been
Writing Desks I Have Known
On the road, you know
Any perch will do
Wendy’s in Nanaimo
Any perch will do
Once under an overturned rowboat
On chill Swedish tundra
Fending off the mosquitoes
For just one more word
Before midnight’s nightfall
And a welcome sleep
But what this writer loves
Is a table, a chair and a view
Overlooking the sea, perhaps
Or a river, and its teeming scene
