January 2016
I’ve traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada, currently living with my wife of many years in Oak Park, IL, looking forward to one last move to VT later this year. Poems based on the road trips are published in All Over America: Road Poems (FootHills Publishing,). I currently host the podcast series accessible at: www.poetryspokenhere.com and through free subscription at the iTunes store.
Holiday Letter
Another year gosh
it sure has gone by fast
the job, the car, the house
the dog, the trip, the kids.
We worried some,
you know, the usual
not much worth going into
except to say
we had some ups and downs
the boat the storm
the roof the job
but hey, that’s what
life's all about, at least
that's what we used to say
and despite everything,
the lawn the school the snow
or because of it,
we're hanging in there
and we hope you are too.
Let's try to get together
this coming year.
We miss you and by the way,
have you seen the new guy
on late night tv
you know the one I mean.
He reminds us of you.
