Father’s Day | Picture Perfect
Father’s Day | Picture Perfect
I share this sonnet and photos to my own father for Father’s Day. Feel free to use the sonnet as a gift to your Dad as well (just change the last name in line eleven and gather your own snapshots)…
For a formal portrait of you and me
I looked through many photographs
The perfect picture I did not see
but it seems we’ve had lots of laughs
For so many things, I thank you Dad
with a gratitude beyond measure
Of all the advice you ever had
the “sense of humor” one I treasure
It helps me to go that extra mile
Even when I’m in a lousy mood
A simple flash of the Assunto smile
and my disposition is renewed
Enjoy these snapshots from along the way
and have a TERRIFIC Father’s Day!
Turning Forty | Happy Birthday to me
Turning Forty | Happy Birthday to me
This June I turn forty
Can this be for real?
Certain bodily evidence
is now hard to conceal…
but isn’t age determined
by the way that I feel?
A pinata I purchased
the prettiest I could find
because my true age
is a state in my mind
So it’s time to celebrate
with young hearts in kind
I bought favors and [...]

I had the honor to join some fantastic musicians last night who were kind enough to share their microphone with me at the local coffee shop. While there, I wrote and read this. Now I’d like to share a wonderful evening with everyone…

Therapeutic Verse | Poem to Let Go
Therapeutic Verse | Poem to Let Go
Sweet release
as I open my heart
to Love
There is no fear
only the illusion
of dark incarceration
bars and chains
disappear
into the Light
of Reality
as I open my heart
to Love
There is no pain
only the gentleness
of tears washing
hurt and sorrow
cleansed
by the Peace
of Grace
as I open my heart
to Love
Sweet relief
This poetic experience was inspired by a book [...]
Personal Selection | Pondering Election
Personal Selection | Pondering Election
For the past eight years
my vote seemed inconsequential
especially in the elections
that were presidential
In the first one I had voted
among the nation’s majority
Yet America’s decision
was over-ruled by state authority
The second I was not sure of
being given lackluster choices
I felt insecure within myself
among so many other voices
But there was a glimmer of hope
when [...]

Resolutions | New Year
We make resolutions
think of solutions
for better or worse
here is some verse
to make you feel great
in two thousand and eight
forget the new diet
or the fitness craze riot
Just enter this year
with a feeling of cheer
don’t compare your Self
to anyone else
Simply look deep within
and soon you will grin
as you realize this scheme
is merely a dream
and [...]
