Destiny sometimes
Has a strange way of
Calling me by hanging up

Big Lift Ferry Poem F285
I’ve decided –
To stop trying
To decide –
What I want to be
When I grow up –
And just not grow up –
To be young at heart –
Without the immature part

Big Lift Ferry Poem F282
A little girl sang
Some Matilda songs for me
On this ferry ride –
I sung Aladdin for her
Because she didn’t know it

And not down deep –
Even when you –
Are thinking deep

Big Lift Ferry Poem F250
I’ve got great reasons –
To get up early each morn –
But I don’t always –
Because those same great reasons –
Also keep me up at night

Eager to get up
To hear world news in Turkey –
Rather than sports news

I must be careful
Not to mix up soya sauce
With India ink –
Considering I keep both
In similar containers

Tanka T013
Woke up – heart racing –
From two nightmares in one night –
Then erotic dream –
I recall all from the last –
But naught from others

When you wake with your
Heart beating furiously –
Like from a nightmare –
But ’twas an erotic dream –
About to climax

When I was a kid –
I was such a big dreamer –
But then I grew up –
Got practical and became –
More of a dream fulfiller
