To Buck

Guest Poet: E. L. “Loyal” Covey I don’t know how to word this, I don’t know what to say. Words seem so lacking, Since God took you away. Not long ago ‘twas easy, To take a pen and write, But poems have lost their meaning, Since that dark September night. I can’t express on paper,Continue reading “To Buck”

Bearcat Boogie

There once was a car, that upraised the bar, T’was better by far, than any ordinary car. Boogie down the road, never to be slowed, The other cars to goad, all to be out showed. Long and lean and mean, a thoroughbred machine, Racing lines as clean, as you’ve ever seen. Don a coonskin coat,Continue reading “Bearcat Boogie”

Remembrance

Our emptiness console, hollow, dark the hole, the memory to extol, the sadness to control. Maybe held their hand, as they slipped away, wishin’ that somehow, perhaps they would stay. Pain that won’t subside, left emptiness inside, the love that did abide, is gone like the tide. Too much to endure, please Lord do assure,Continue reading “Remembrance”

Hannagan

At a place way up high, beneath the azure sky, see the eagle fly, with your naked eye. No meadow is so fine, Hannigan’s sublime, the smell of the pine, gotta’ spend some time. The Elk and the Deer, are always grazin’ here, buglin’ Elk you hear, the wolf and bear are near. Leave thatContinue reading “Hannagan”

Moped

I did a slide show of the Moped poem… Click the link to see the slide show.

Moped

Moped I’m the coolest kid around, racin’ thru our town, Moped two-stoke sound, grownups gonna’ frown. Flyin’ down the block, it can really rock, girls are gonna’ gawk, Dads are gonna’ squawk. Mixin’ up the gas, pedelin’ to pass, Vespas to outclass, cops to harass. We’re a public nuisance, with our negligence. law gets noContinue reading “Moped”

Pete Kitchen

No, he weren’t the first, to see the Santa Cruz, but the land was cursed, and others got the blues. Vanquishers from Spain, through Mexico they came, never could they reign, Apaches took their claim. Next would come the Padres, robes of black or brown, then arrived the cadres, the soldiers of the Crown. PresidiosContinue reading “Pete Kitchen”

The Orphan Javelin

I walk by this 1974 AMC Javelin a couple times a week. Though I am not a big fan of “orphan” cars produced by small manufacturers like American Motors, this one always grabs my attention. I love its racy fastback profile. The bulging fenders scream SPEED! The body lines are clean and smooth. Somehow, theContinue reading “The Orphan Javelin”

Virgil’s Pen

Boldwriter 20 w/Mesquite Cover Note to self: The end opposite the felt tip is thicker than the tip. Remove by pushing the tip through the tube. Then install the new pen tip first in the tube. The cap is permanently glued to the top part.

Runaway

It’s Nineteen-Seventy, finally got my degree, Time for me to flee, ain’t got no pedigree. Prospects lookin’ dim, head out on a whim, Outlook’s pretty grim, glass without a brim. My money is all blown, the future is unknown, Call the banker on the phone, get a tittle loan, I’m skippin’ graduation, to drive acrossContinue reading “Runaway”
