This month I am sharing a couple chapters from my unpublished book, “Last Voyage Of The Redlegs."
Click on the link and you’ll find two chapters that are downloadable PDFs. They are “Lost World Of Innocence ,” and “Exile.” It takes little time to download and there’s a blank page at the beginning of Lost World.
I would love to hear your feedback.

After the Symphony
After the Symphony
a SoFo Exquisite Corpse collective ekphrastic poem
What is the sound of one hand clapping
It moved it seemed
it left but left no prints
Something happened here
She heard them,
they didn’t think she had but they were wrong
What is the sound of one laborer clapping
Restless glove syndrome
Ooops. Lost. Contact me.
What is the sound of one glove missing?

I built this dollhouse during the pandemic out of boredom but it was something I've always wanted to do since seeing The Queen's Dollhouse at Windsor many years ago. I realized dollhouses need not just be for children. It is a great hobby and with the internet, one has access to an unlimited number of artisans. My house is truly international! The house itself is British, but also included are pieces from China, Russia, Poland, Spain, Germany and the US. The architecture is Georgian and has 10 rooms on four floors.

Free Verse Departure
Poets bring nothing to the party.
They don't even ask.
They show up on time or late.
They get lost.
They say they're coming but don't.
They arrive in time for food,
stand in a corner and drink.
Never take off their coat.
Then strip to a t-shirt
and talk about Bird, things
you've never heard as Parker
plays on your Alexa.
Sometimes poetry breaks out.
Someone picks up a guitar.
There's action on the roof.
Shy cats come out of hiding.
An enormous radish is carved into art.
Memory floats up from an afternoon
in Oaxaca, 1984 ~
The houseboat rises, warms.
Everyone leaves all at once in
a free verse departure.
Sink full of dishes.
Someone leaves a hat.
The night itself becomes a poem.
And guess what?
That's what the poets brought.

Short Walk on a Long Pier
Short Walk on a Long Pier

Floating in the shadows of the ferry where a famous master once zenned, lived a sippy monk on a tippy barge called The China Sea. Each morning he walked the planks with a satisfied shrug, then untied koans of kelpy line until noon. At lunch he played chess with the seagulls on a skiff, and when high tide arrived, he paddled to the No Name for beer and read Li Po until 2. No books were written about him. No one came to his door. But his elegant wisdom glittered like sea glass on the ocean floor. Lifting a conch shell to his ear, he heard the whisper of the universe. Placing the shell to his lips, he answered its call.
