For The Principles of the Red White and Blue

When it's All Been Said and Done

Lost Souls of Yesteryear

On theDark side of the Moon!

How old areyou?

In the Blink of an Eye

I'll Just Keep Walking!

Until You Quit Loving Me

Do You Remember When?

Sometime, I'm still in Nam

Sir, That's why We Were There!

Tranquility Lake

Ole Sedville-USA

The Spectator

Those Were the Days

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Tearful Thoughts of an Old Soldier

Magical Moments

The Devil's Advocate

Singing in the Sunshine

Ode to All the Unsung Heroes

Hey Jack you made it back!

A Moment of Hope

The Day the Poetry Stopped

The day the poetry stopped.
All the people listened, but
no longer the rhymes flowed.
The old poet sang his last
song of poetry from his
dying soul.

Only to be heard again,
when others recite.
That’s the fate of the dead
poet and his poetry rhymes
born in the middle of the
waking night.

Strange as it may seem,
his soul smiles with
shining gleam.
For now his poetry is recited
beyond his wildest dreams.
