About Me

  • (Sample published work at: Eggs Over Tokyo) Ron. started reading and writing poetry seriously in the late '60s, when a floral-necktied student teacher dumped a bunch of books on his desk, one of which was Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind, which caused him to re-think his (conventional, public school-stunted) opinion of poetry.

  • Besides

    November 14, 2009

    •  This morning at four, or nearly fourI find myself untied, unlaced, unlashed; I find I find myself unlatched, or nearly so.Today the morning soars but I, unwinged,do not wheel. No. Nor, to be fair, do I show a singular or even single care to be aloft. I have no preference for air;prefer, instead, the confines of covers, the soft of my lover's thigh, the roundedcomfort of groundedness here ...

  • Homecoming

    November 11, 2009

    •   Early in the morning on the second of nine days in a row, a narrow play of moonlight, slotted through a blind, slashed the woman's torso from just above the navel to just below her right eye. The gentle swell and roll of that sweet terrain in those last few hours before the gray dragged in the wider light mesmerized him.

  • Theft

    November 6, 2009

    • Well.  The bastards stole my computer, along with most other elecronics from our home yesterday. Some work lost (new work, recent drafts, work-in-progress).  I back up often, but not often enough. It makes me sick.I'll probably be scarce here for a while.

Comments I've Written

  • Faces In Crowds

    Everyone I know who attended Woodstock has scanned all the photos closely, hoping to find themselves finding themselves.

  • I gotta pass because...

    ...apparently your lovely Gladys and my Beloved Sandra are sorority sisters or something. 

  • Of Great Interest

    I'm flabbergasted. My rewrites morph oozingly, far more slowly than this, from draft to draft. Were there no intervening rewrites here?

  • Thank you, Mara...

    I appreceiate your positive response, and that my work conveys some degree of exactitude. And I did read your entry on submitting work, with some considerable interest. Thanks.

  • No. Please.

    I mean, "No, thank you."
