PATRIOT Poetry with a streak of random thoughts. 8.17.17
PATRIOT So proud you stand, you patriot So proud above the cast iron statute Of Robert E Lee astride his horse You think you are creating Camelot And you shouted with glee As the statute fell down past the aged tree That had shaded it, protected it, been there In snow and storm until you…

Puppy in the River and Random thoughts on 8.15.2017
PUPPY IN THE RIVER I believe I was ten years old and out riding on my bike on a warm summer’s day. As was my custom, I stopped at the bridge on Madison Street in Maywood overlooking the muddy, trash filled, and sluggish Des Plaines River. It was one of my favorite spots for daydreaming,…

truth slain and random thoughts over ice cream 8.14.17
Truth Slain on a TV Stand The morning bell was met head-on And each child followed the trail as winter won To where truth then was set upon and promptly slain For sadly truth had gathered thinking it safe As if fearing safety it mattered simply not The rot that had grown up in Webster’s…

Beer Cans on the Counter and Random Thoughts at 0436 08.03.17
Just woke and fixed a salad made up of cucumber, sweet onion, tomato, and Caesar dressing. Love it. Thinking of writing a play. Wish I had the talent. Don’t think that I do. In the meantime I look at my family history and think of all the rich material there and believe it is sad…

Heartbeat at Night by Gordon Kuhn Copyright 8.1.2017 all rights reserved. I stand alone in the steamy dark Listening to the sound my heart beat makes all alone and the other voices there never reply no matter how I call out their names and I fight and try to hear a voice, a single voice, come to…

Random Thoughts 08.01.2017

Poetry and Random Thoughts 073017/0608

Have a new used car. Jumped into a 2016 Honda Odyssey EX-L. White with light interior. Sliding doors on the side and a power rear door. It has all the bells and whistles. It has a camera on the right side for making turns and the first time it came on I thought I had lost…
