The day after
The day after even the weather was awful grey and dreary the sky was crying oh, the clouds were fitting I felt heartbroken on Wednesday morning while Monday night there was so much hope in the air, and Tuesday was a surprisingly bright day: with sun shining, birds singing, leaves turning red, orange and yellow by the…

There's a blank page and I'd like to fill it
Do you remember when the place was hoppin’? Full of an assortment of beautiful souls and kooks Some were noisy odd ballers, others were quietly profound and sincere I often felt lost in the crowd Or, at least, somewhat hidden despite my Valentine sleeves Just, a cheerful chatterbox Being driven by love ever hopeful I…

Smoke signals from a neighboring island
Smoke signals from a neighboring island Or maybe dots and dashes tapped out on a Marconi machine? some idea of mine that needs to be catapulted into an open canal It needs to be released Doors kept shut too long need to be unstuck Junk drawers can’t hold everything forever Boxes can’t keep piling up in a closet! If I was a…

spontaneous adaptation
I've got nothing prepared but I can improvise and adapt to unexpected disaster drive my car through that crashing downpour wondering, how deep can I let this water get before I need to pull off the road? is it a good idea to put on the blinkers? up north it was different weather, but the same plan on the road a treacherous…

All That Is
In all that is nature That is lush and wet and green Or hot and dry, brown and dead And the many brilliant colors in-between Where the bird on the wire who is resting there Takes fight at the sight of me Where the sunlight meets a field of grass Where the moon reflects on the sea In all that is cosmic That is bright and…

Passion, Presence, Pouring Out
They are getting older Eddie’s hair, dyed brown to hide the gray He still climbs around on stage but with a few missteps and a little less balance Ed forgets the lyrics at one point mid song “Help me out” he shouts Turns to Jeff who sings his lyrics back to him Turns around and turns it up He’s right back in it Shakes off…

13. EDDIE POEM - penned enroute to Dublin on an airline serviette
Oh! To land in Dublin With Eddie Burns on the Isle I don't have to drink tonight Knowing tomorrow I'll be doing the drinking for a while There's a full Moon flying over Ireland And briefly all seems right in this world These are the moments you'd like for to last Like a first date with your Forever girl And the winds they…

I see it, I hear it, I feel it
I’ve loved him a thousand years Don’t laugh It might be a thousand years on a distant planet some 30 years ago at least plus everyday since Some days remind me of the first day there’s so much about the man Not to be unromantic because it does feel Romantic but He could be an enchanted box of kitchen matches Keep them dry…

A Doodle a Day til PJ Play Release in the UK
Hi folks, figured I'd post this here. 145 days ago I started a project - I draw one PJ related thing each day, and will continue doing so until the band plays Release at a show I attend. I'm not doing this expecting it to change setlists, I'm doing it to put out good vibes into the universe, and to show his band how much…

2024 National Poetry Month Poems
Simmered a potato soup at 4 o'clock. The morning storm crumbled and sputtered as I added purple dulse, topped it with balsamic vinegar. **************************** Monday morning music louder than expected. I could walk to turn the volume down. I could continue to compare the sound against the footsteps in the apartment…

Do You Want to Draw Daily for a Year?
I'm not an illustrator, but I have tried to find something in the scratching I do with a pen and paper. It would be interesting to see if anything changes as not much has changed each time I try to draw. Maybe when I draw a coffee cup it will look like a coffee cup. Any current drawings of coffee cups look like…
