My Own Stage

Great Pershing Balloon Derby Joe Deshon Photographer

Some people bike, others swim

Dad runs miles at the gym

I’ve seen Aunt Sara's yoga--

Downward Facing Dog,

And Uncle Walt cuts firewood, log after log,

I would like to get up and take to my feet,

To dance wild and crazy right my down my street,

but I can close my eyes

and move like clouds through the skies,

                                                                                  even  though I'm still here at this page

                                                                                  I am free and dancing on my own secret stage.

It All Began With the Letter A

I Like the Letter A

I like dada and Lady Gaga.

I like fish with fresh alfalfa.

I like to sing: Mi, fa , so, la.

And I like your nose, Mr. Rosa.

I like to dream the Cat's Eye Nebula.

I like both my fibula.
I like a little song
from a concertina.
I like chewy cheese,
especially Fontina.
