Evening delivery!
Brown box
stuffed with packets of vegetable seeds
left at front door.
My heart goes flicker flicker while I fall asleep
and dream of starting this season’s garden.
313
White blue morning sky
Strong reflection
Off Ocean
I’m not catching any fish, but already have a nice tan.
312
There is nothing like a lot of sleep, some yummy food for the tummy, and a little nooky, to get one back into the game.
310
Together
We ride our bicycles
Front and back gigantic baskets
Fully loaded
With
Blankets
Umbrellas
Small folding chairs
A cooler stuffed with
homemade sandwiches and pink lemonade.
We are a couple of bums
Going to the beach

Watching the moon light up the ocean

Dark clouds everywhere
Strong wind blows them away
Only 10 a.m.
Hot sun fills the stage
Perfect beach day
277
We are slowly moving along.
I’m whistling and singing songs.
The early morning ocean is calm.
Dolphins swim by to take a look.
First mate is down below reading her book.
No need for a life of luxury.
This small old sailboat is enough for my woman and me.
265
Sushi Bar
Ginza, Tokyo
Sitting next to me
The Japanese Gastroenterologist said
“I could make much more money working in America, but cannot take the food.”
Thinking for a moment
Taking another sip of my sake
I said
“I fully understand
Japan’s outstanding cuisine
Has also ruined me”
The Gastro then said
“I’m doctor
Eat
Drink
I pay”

Lazy Saturday afternoon
Opening a bottle of pinot noir
Listening to opera
Chopping garlic
Fresh garden basil, oregano, and rosemary
Mushrooms, onions, and peppers
Vine ripe home-grown tomatoes
Ground sirloin
Sausage
Simmering
Hour after hour
Occasionally
I stir the pot
Contentment
Making homemade spaghetti sauce
250
Hot sand burns my feet
Eating cold watermelon
Watching seagulls fly

Homemade vegetable soup
French bread in the oven
All-day reading books

Home together for New Year
Fifties easier

Craps was the game he played
Once a month
Took a round trip flight
Lauderdale to Nassau
Carried his cash in an old bag
Stood most of the night
At the table
Sometimes won
Sometimes lost
His demeanor
Always stable
Just a way to unwind
The game
Cleared his mind
225
Sweet corn on the cob
Boiled
Topped with butter and salt
Ice cold lemonade
Sitting under ficus tree
Lazy day
In the shade
221
Snowshoes beef jerky
Don’t need lower 48
Free will solitude
220
Starting motorbike
Morning ride along A1A
Sea air soothes me
219
Winter cold snap
Honeybell oranges soon ripe
Gastronomic delight
Note to readers: Poem refers to Florida winter gardening. Just a bit of cold gives citrus a kick of extra sweetness.
218
Tropical storm gone
Angry Atlantic Ocean
Snatching my surfboard

Bought old pickup truck
Hitch up house on wheels
Let’s see America

Nippy morning
Fly fishing for rainbow trout
River moving slowly

Stack of unread books
Winter storm lighting fireplace
Cozy bookworm

Mixed with herbs in slow cooker
Love is in the home

No rush to leave
