Islands in the Sky

the keeper of dreams

comes to imaginations

with lurid temptations

promising

islands in the sky

beauty

in the mind’s eye

a veritable Versailles

where ones mind can fly

to islands in the sky

where mythology

turns into folk etymology

and no one has to die

***

A Case For Mediocrity

fame, glory, and power motivate many

while others are content to be ordinary

the case for mediocrity

isn’t always easy to see

how living quietly

makes some happy

living without envy

and fame’s frenzy

can be

a friendly journey

without strife

the rest of your life

***

Memo to a Supreme Being

for the sake of humanity

bring us together in unity

we’re a troubled society

in desperate need of harmony

help us see

the absurdity

of denying diversity

so that we can live

together peacefully

Carp Diem

Towering Ambitions

Towering ambitions

like castles in the sky

are for dreamers

who aren’t afraid to fly

it takes a bold person

who isn’t afraid to die

to embrace ambition

to pursue a goal

and bring it to fruition

Interview With an Old Cat

Bob the Cat was interviewed one day

by a curious kitten

who wouldn’t stay away

“How did your ears get that way?

But Bob wouldn’t say

“How old are you?”

Bob told him to go away

“What do you do all day?”

Bob replied “Skip the survey”

so

the kitten finally had to concede

the old grouch wouldn’t proceed

and there’d be no interview

no wise worldview

from an old cat

like that

A Day at the Seashore

Warm salty waves

splashing on the seashore

soaking beach sand

hear the roar

as the tide dances

on the ocean floor

hear the seagulls

and watch them soar

while walking along

the seashore

Feel Good Fantasies

in the book of life

there needs to be

a chapter on fantasy

where reality

retreats

and good vibes soar

with special fantasies

that help restore

vigor

**

Vanity

some wear vanity

like a king’s crown

unaware they look

like a vain clown

their fake façade

is easily exposed

as being a fraud

**

Baby Eyes

there are no lies

in a baby’s eyes

no prejudice

just innocence

seeking love

from above

**

A Dime for an Epiphany

If I had dime for every epiphany

that I’ve had

it would add

up to a lot of money

however

remembering

those moments of inspiration

when something became clear

never lingered long enough

for them to physically appear

alas! my fleeting epiphanies

will never persevere
