Though I’m under the spell

Of you when young, my life’s best half,

It still may not be well

To dote upon this photograph


For representations are but that,

Reality demands our all

Leaving even this photo flat

When I hear you in the hall


And yet one moment bereft

Of you who points my heart to heaven

Brings me to what’s left

Allie, artless, at six or seven

Romance

I’m not good but I’m lucky that’s the truth

First, being wed to fragrant Allie King

Then dad to Cassie D and Anna Ruth...

Melancholy January

Sun long gone soon after four

Trees against the sky, no more

With leaves, they claw the dimming cloud...
