Via

Art communicates beauty. Via means "way" in Latin, and I believe we each have our own way to create. This blog celebrates unique mediums of expression.

"View from Above" poem about the Mississippi River


I wish I could feel

the rocky banks that angle down to the squishy bottom.

The mix of steely rock

and soft mud,

Like a nutty chocolate pudding pie.



Slide down that bank

and create my own grooves-

my own path:

as I descend onto my belly and wiggle in the mushy mud pie floor.


Until I look up,

beckoned by the white light above me dancing on the water's surface.

Hear me St. Louis!

Newest Poem "This is Me!"

Oh....Here I am, and...
the world makes comments.
I could pass by unnoticed and be silent and be..
Safe!
from the critic's Eye.
No, judgments or jealous attacks or
idle commentary.
But then I'm not me---
So here is Me!
Here I am
Finally
Free.
