Walking along the Oregon Coast


Walking along the Oregon coast
I soon tired, stopped at a milepost
To take in the view

Wondering what it all mean?
I walk back among the green trees.

Knocks on your door

Don’t let opportunity
Pass you by

juggling so many events
in my mind and head
trying to spin my way
juggling lies after lies

of a political spin master

Watching the clouds


Watching the clouds
Pass over head
I see a strange shape
I think I see an alien ship
Lurking behind the clouds
It goes away
I wonder if
it is real or an illusion?

Time to End this Political Violence

This time against a MAGA influencer
It is time to come together
All of us Americans
And end this descent
Into political violence
Before it consumes us all

As far as I can See


Sam Adams
While hiking
In the Korean mountains
Recalled
the old Koren proverb
“Kalsurok tae san ida”
As far as I can see
More mountains!

Watching the Epstein case unfolding


Watching the Epstein case unfold
And the irrational response
Among MAGA supporters
Declaring the 23-year-old
birthday book to be a hoax
as irrationality takes control
of the MAGA sphere
