I've always desired to be a Poet
To shape and mold the awesome written word.
To shine! Succeed! Let the whole world know it.
To miss this moment would be so absurd.
I've sculpted this work based on ABC's.
The shortened format here is compelling .
The few pages here help to save some trees,
Need a dictionary to help your spelling.
There's help in some with a definition.
So any children can both read and learn
Adults don't need to read with suspicion
Why I put that there for them at their turn.
So lean back slowly in that easy chair
Sit back and enjoy each little ditty.
To overlook this eloquent affair,
Surely would be a serious, sad pity.
I hope you enjoy my little poems as much as I had fun writing them.

Light Play
Nebulous - vague, cloudy, foggy Xanadu - was the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty in China, before he decided to move the seat of his dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. The Venetian explorer Marco Polo is widely believed to have visited Xanadu in about 1275. His glowing description of it, created a romantic image that burned in the minds of future explorers and writers. Zaniness - crazy, funny, erratic This is an Alphabet Poem that I devised the format of, where every single word starts with a letter of the alphabet in alphabetical sequence. It's like an Abcedarian Poem except that, instead of sentences or lines of poetry, you can only use one word or letter of the alphabet, it is not an ABC Poem that only requires 4 lines to follow the Alphabet, it is truly a word/brain exercise. This book contains 10 of them. This is a Night Photo that I took along the Mississippi River one evening of the Security Light of the St. Paul Yacht Club. |

I spotted this bike in a parking lot in Pipestone Minnesota.
Snapped this photograph as I was leaving a Civil War re-enactment. Juxtapositioned - set beside Macro- evolution - I coined this word myself, meaning evolving governmental formation on a global scale. Xenic - as of the introduction of pollen, fertilization (see Xenia) |

Xanthein Yellow Zigzags.
| Author Notes |
This is much like a Greenich Village coffee table discussion expounding nonsense. Nefarious - evil Xanthein - yellow pigment There's a story here about the picture, which is actually a ruined photograph. Joe Esler and I were on a photo safari down along the Mississippi River on the muddy beach just before the High Bridge. It was dark. There was about 4 feet of muddy, sandy shore and there was a bank with roots and thick woods. I had just started a timed shot of the Cathedral with Aperature 18, Speed 15 and ISO 200 when something large started swimming parallel with the shore about 2 feet out along the shore.. Not sure what it was. It could have been a musk rat, or a beaver, or an allegator, or a serpent....not sure. When it came even with us, it changed course towards us. Anyway, this is the result of grabbing the tripod while it was still capturing and jumping into the woods. |

Newspapers ofter expose coverups that those in charge might choose to minimize. Like the leak in the Gulf that BP understated and where lives were lost. My Blimp story is a fantasy that could happen.
Xerox is to print a copy. Yawing is badly leaning. For Artwork I just downloaded a piece of Free Clipart from Microsoft.com |

Religious Freedom is available to all.
Puritans and Quakers are two early famous examples of religious groups that came here seeking freedom from religious oppression. There are many. Egalitatian means - advocating full equality for all. Wakened Xcess Zeal - Religious Freedom is Real, Halleluiah! Had to utilize a little poetic license on the word excess. Hey ever hear of Xmas? I took this photograph of a Protestant church on Dayton street in St. Paul. I titled it Holy Math. The sign reads: 1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4 Ever |

Fiercely focus on its prey,
