Closing the Distance
Even thugs need hugs;
Kings bring
cling and wing
where e’er they sing.
Lions need be held;
by fold-behold
the pride
of mane and hide.
Young and old
bring shelter;
food and drink
a golden link.

We enjoyed our Poetry Reading, singing and view of Jeanne’s family of self-published e-books.
Several artists learned how to publish on Blurb.com.
Quenby Poland’s photos in the books and frames were
admired.
Even Oliver and Annika , at 2 and 4 years of age participated.
Who knew Columbia Greene College could
welcome all ages to their halls to celebrate life, love and fine art without a wrinkle in time?

Up in the Trees
stretch limo
riding high
shotgun seat
in the sky
far away
close to spine
clutching tight
neck so fine
lift to leaves
munch for zest
best to come
graze and rest

Tail-Gating
Cop behind
My behind
Tail hung low
Low tail lights
Natural look
Stride for real
Really scared
Scared for life
Stare that rattles
Rattles cool
Swagger school
From the pool
Of warrior dogs
Not for fools!

Head to tail
World’s apart
Meow or wail
Wag or dart
Ears point north
Tail points south
‘Cept when curled
Tongue in mouth
Upside down
Eyes blink fast
Tail uncurls
Flag unfurled
Head tucked in
Perfect spiral
Tail wrapped round
Furry gyral.

Behold the last page of my AARP Magazine.
They want us to do brain gymnastics. I cheer!
But also am interested in this universal language because it is used in the school in AZ where I go to video Ken Slesarick, my poet friend’s Poetry Club.
(If you want you can search my blog for The post: “Childrens Poetry Club” and view the video.
So enjoy circling the words
and finding the names:
LEO TOLSTOY
J.R.R. TOLKIEN
JULES VERNE
JOHN PAUL II
who lobbied for this language.
