Dinner

Most of the time my life sketches are quick studies because the subject is not aware that I am drawing them and they just get up and leave before I'm done .

Nails

When my subject moves too much I give up.On this occasion she was concentrating on her nails  and stayed fairly still (for her )

Isaac Asimov magazine  , " Writers Digest "cover, which I found at the Windsor bus station dated 1986 .His essay inside discusses the role of the writer with the advent of the personal computer .It was like I found a piece of History lying discarded on the floor amongst soiled bus tickets and sandwich wrappers

Life on life's terms

Where is the sun today.

That shadow on the wall tells me where

Early on the street quiet houses sleep

And a car pulls in from night shift

He sits on the veranda with a cigarette for company

Not ready for the lonely day

behind a screen door a dog  sits staring

And I  stare back rocking gently on the swing chair sipping coffee,

Thinking, this is beautiful ,

But I have to go in and do the dishes

Throw the dice

Shall I throw the seven ?
Just pick em up
What about the craps
O K bet the craps
Just throw the dice
I'll try and throw eleven
Be happy with a six
Heck I threw a craps
I told you bet the craps
Now I threw a seven
So you lost the dice
What about the money
Forget the money you didn't win
I want to try again
Forget it lets get a coffee
