When even the cedars wither
Boughs browning not from the vigor of their love
But from a loss mourned without tears
What then?

So far
They yet show green and strong
Feathery fabric still enfolding limestone hills
But there are tatters beginning to show at the edges
And many still look only at the center mass
Refusing to recognize that
It is not only the single shot that kills

The holidays approach–and it’s not too late to give the gift of verse! Get in touch, and I’ll get you started!

The dying stalks of grass beside the highway
Barely stir as traffic passes
Sibilant whispers hissing through the double glass
I look through from where I sit
Staring at the choking face whose
Lone unblinking eye stares out
Such that the glover’s son might call him Hugh
When he first makes his score

I think that I am like the grass
And if it moves but little with cars passing close by
Think what I do sitting further from the road

Remember, folks: a written-to-order poem makes a fine holiday gift!

She is, as she sits now, a slip–not mere,
As any whom my voice will reach will hear,
And as who speak with her will find quite clear.
Though young, and small with youth, she is of will
Quite strong, of insight keen, and thinks no ill
Of those who do no ill. To them, she still
Behaves with grace to far surpass her years–
Although her tongue will redden many ears,
Such is the skill it has. I have my fears
For her, of course, as I could hardly not.
The evils of the world, I’ve not forgot;
I worry that she will be by them caught.
But who might think my daughter to restrain
Will soon rethink that thought, I still maintain.

I am pleased to be able to offer writing services, just in time for the holidays. I’m also pleased to be able to offer writing review services, just in time for final papers to be turned in. Fill out the form below if you’d like help with either!

While some will say they seek gold eagles there behind a long gray line,
Others looked to Callard and Bowser and got along just fine.
In cooling spice and lance’s kin, and others, it abounds
In kitchens, and at holidays, it makes its starlit rounds.
Standing off the causeway road, it presses queens and kings;
Its condition is desirable for a great many things.

It occurs to me that I did not provide the answer to this riddle; it’s “pen.”

Once again, I write a little song
While sitting at my desk. I have not long
In which to do the task, but there’s no wrong
In spending idle moments shaping lines
That some might read while sipping at their wines
Or in which some might see un-thought-of signs
That all may yet be well. There is a hope
In writing, though each written piece might grope
Ineptly towards some unseen hanging rope
By which it might itself and readers haul
From out that pit into which many fall:
Despair. Each verse becomes another call
To stand up, rise up, take up noble task,
Give all therein; nothing more is asked.

O, Stupid God, cast not your eyes on me!
Put your attentions where I will not be;
Mark not the path by which I from you flee!
I seek to pass in peace beyond your reach,
Who once would gladly learn and gladly teach,
And that I do so freely, I beseech
You, just for this; I ask no other thing.
I know that even this request will bring
Attention to me from whom your praises sing,
And their cacophonies will wound the ears,
As I have learned from far too many years
Of hearing them, and shedding many tears.
I have no more to shed, so let me go.
I can go quietly; no one need know.

If you need something written, I’m your guy!

Wielded by many, a wonder awaits,
Hidden and hanging, held within trousers
Or placed in a purse, potent in old wisdom.
At one end open, erect when in hand,
Of old, the remains of assaults upon Ansers
And Brantas; anew, it boasts of balls’ actions
By fountains fathered, that famous thing.
Again and as often, it emerges
To greet the world, gleeful, by going
Near to a naked thing, prompted by need
To make pregnant the prone one placed well in view.
Let one who has wisdom wield such a thing;
Let one who has insight say what it is.

I have a job
I do it well
I offer service
I do not sell
But every day
I see new things
And wonder what
Each of them brings
Thinking about
How to earn more
But I don’t change
My life’s a bore

I don’t complain
I just observe
I’m better off
Than I deserve
I do good work
I’m in fair shape
The barrel’s bottom
I do not scrape
Though I still look
At what appears
As I have done
Too many years

I’m happy to put my pen to your purposes! Fill out the form that follows, and we’ll begin!
