Minneapolis charm
an endless bridge
of cultural wonders
...

in the man is laid out
an exact model of the universe
his knowledge drives the world
vast as creation where stars glitter

to get a government education loan
and later the audacity to default on payment
- spending the loot on all things that
...

Cannes Film Festival
I walk around to enjoy
the different accented english
...

the world has passed
a trillion million trillion
million of seconds
...

Philadelphia International Children's Festival
the child asks mom what
she would love to watch
...

the poet when he attains maturity
in his works is a man distilled
by nature so that his verses
glitter like stars in the sky
...

Himalayan Highland National Park
trailing the mountain range
the growl of a snow leopard
...

New York Photo Festival
the photographer says
his pictures speak for themselves
...

Lake Michigan
blue of the water and hills
wrap us in
...
