Poem #3

Poetry 29 April 2008 | 1 Comment

So I missed last night, but I will not give up!  On we go…
—–
If a butterfly in brazil, can cause a tornado in Texas…
Think of what I can do.
Every moment, every move
Every action I do
Every decision and choice
Even the sound of my voice
Causes chaos to ensue
From me to you
And then cause is effect, effect is [...]

Poem #2

Poetry 27 April 2008 | 0 Comments

Suddenly the boob tube goes black
With a click and a hum the house goes silent
You never realize the blare of electricity
Until the air conditioners cause the grid to go into cardiac arrest
The only redeeming factor of heat are the power outages
When an electro-centered society is thrust into the dark ages
The flickering of fire light dances [...]

30 days of poems

Poetry 26 April 2008 | 2 Comments

I’ve decided to try and write a poem every day for thirty days.  I’ll post them on here every night.
Why?

Whoever designed Moorpark and it’s communities, had families with little kids in mind. There are wide streets and side walks, lots of trees and grass, and parks everywhere. It is so peaceful to walk along the paths between the nicely groomed houses to the gigantic park that always has green grass… but it [...]

I know I have friends, many whom I respect and, when I see them, we have a great time [...]

Beyond The Screen Door

Poetry 5 April 2008 | 0 Comments

The sounds of progress rush in from beyond the screen door
The heavy breathing and snoring of the rumbling train and the dull blast that floats down from above as the plains follow suit after each other in the night
A low nearly inaudible drone sits low in the background, electricity mixed with distant busy streets and [...]

Time

Life 4 April 2008 | 0 Comments

I wake up and take care of Amalea from the time she wakes up until around noon.  During that time, she’ll take a nap or two, and she’ll play a lot these days on the floor by herself.  Around noon, Robin comes home and I go to work.  It’s been this way ever since Robin [...]

A Week In Mexico, Three Days In Portland

Life 1 April 2008 | 2 Comments

Last week I was in Rosarito, Mexico with the high schoolers from my youth group building two small houses for two different families. It ended up being a very fun week, filled with lots of laughter and memories that will last a lifetime. It’s so great getting out under the sun and getting [...]
