The Greyhound bus ride
was hot and dry,
never a dull moment
on the three day journey.
Three people left behind
in St. Louis
never found out why.
Pot smokers and beer drinkers
thrown off in Oklahoma City.
America's landscape
was brilliantly breathtaking
Open fields, open plains
nostalgic to the inhabitants
new to this wide eyed wonder
So hot you could fry an egg
on the sidewalk
and I tried. . . no bacon though.
Wild gun toting mentality
as I saw the heat rise off of the desert.
Leaving memories in my mind
that lasted longer
than the three day bus ride home. . . .

I have been writing poetry for 44 years. I began writing poetry when I was 15 years old and to this date I have written over 16,000 poems. I have had poems published in The San Fernando Journal, The Rag Mag, WYRD, The Cultural Reverence(e-magazine) and in Kiiroo(e-magazine), Mobius and the World Peace Anthology. I have over 1000 poems published in all. I also have a poetry page on Wix.com entitled anemotionaljourney.com. I also have written a Science Fiction/Fantasy novel entitled "The Blue Sphere" and I am currently working on three other books at the present time. The first is entitled "The Angel and the Witches, the second is "Once Upon A Halloween" and the third is "The Devil's Playground".
