My poem below is in two print magazines - the usual one and a church one.

    Hope?    
so many adrift, endangered -
can they lift their horizons?
to see something bigger and better,
to help themselves and others

I hope you enjoy my blog. That seems more likely if you don't like most modern poetry and do like good photos.
Poems favored by the poetry "establishment" would seldom be popular with most folk.

Rhyming poetry isn't fashionable,
but sometimes draws big crowds.
Each to his own!

My recent poem below is
also in "Positive Words".
It's a good magazine!

    Campfire yarns
memories and stories flow
as the flames fly;
an ancient way
to grander dreams

Below is one of my earlier poems. It's in the internet magazine.

    Dreams of a poet
will the storms clear
and the warblers sing?
can the love of wisdom
bring the wisdom of love?

Here's another poem of mine from the print magazine:

    What could help?
well, said the bard -
I can't stop wars
or build good cities
or clean the air
but perhaps my words
will make your heart sing

Of course, visual art goes back a
very long way in human history.
So does poetry. In every culture,
there was oral poetry before
writing was invented.

Here's one of my poems from the internet magazine:

    Mystery
who can explain life?
don't try too hard
logic should be
a servant of love
