The Great Boffer and Evil Witch (an adult fantasy)

An adult fairy tale about a handsome prince very successful with the ladies who falls for an evil witch, and pays a heavy price.

The Passing of the Beast – fantasy poem

A fantasy poem that mirrors Beauty and the Beast, but here, the Beast perishes – and only then does the woman he has deeply loved realize that she has loved him, as well. A best fantasy poem.

The Dance – a romantic fantasy poem

“The Dance” is a fantasy poem of romance almost like a short love story. Written in free verse, it is a fantasy or reality we all have wished for — here symbolized by a romantic dance to a Sinatra tune, between an older, but still very much in love couple. And as they dance, it seems to bring all of that together. A best fantasy poem, and poem of a long and close romance.

An American Hero – dedication poem

A somber poem to honor Chris Kyle, an American Hero, who served four tours in Iraq, and to all other fallen American Heroes, who gave their all in service of their Nation.

Star Bender – fantasy poem

Star Bender is a conversation within a dream between an earth mortal, and a Supreme Being, traveling between the stars which asks and answers the questions of who we are, and what is our future.

The Flower – fantasy poem

A fantasy story , in allegory, of a beautiful, but shy woman, trapped by her own loneliness, who meets a man, purely by chance, and of the relationship that builds between them. A personal favorite, and a best fantasy poem, although one of romance.

The Dream – a fantasy poem

Eery and dreamlike – this fantasy poem tells the story of an older, but still beautiful woman who lives alone, but is guarded by the ghost of a past love.

The Seven Moons of Dargoor – fantasy poem

In this fantasy poem when the two dominant races of a planet prepare for total war, the metaphysical guardian of the planet, the Time Lord, intervenes and saves the planet from destruction.

The Yellow Ribbon – fantasy poem

The Yellow Ribbon story originated after the Civil War. My fantasy poem tells of a man on a long bus journey back to family – but gets off only if they first tie a yellow ribbon around a big oak tree.
