I was born in the late 1940s which makes me one of the BABY-BOOMERS. But we could also have been called PEACE-BABIES, because that's why so many of our parents wanted
to start families - a horrendous war had ended in total victory and the Great Depression had been replaced by the New Prosperity. My parents, from lower middle backgrounds, benefited from this prosperity and were truly grateful to God and Country. But peace did not last. Ultimately, the war-mongers of the century can always find a reason for violence, and I include our nation, almost continually fighting a war somewhere, in this criticism. I'm not talking about valid or invalid reasons for war but rather the brutal FACT OF... more »

The Abandoned Poem
I wrote a long poem
for you this morning
in the pure light
of an untouched day.
The poem was marvelous!
It took two hours to write,
two hours to revise,
one hour to copy neatly.
As I read the final draft,
I felt I was in your presence:
your flesh as pure as the light,
your mind as untouched as the day.
The poem was one moment
a window through which I saw
your beauty. The next moment,

Then a darkness that was not

That have power
to tame wild birds
Perhaps, my words
are always less
To say how wonderfully
they touch me.
Seeking your blessings
Oh Poet Daniel Brick.! ! (Part-2)
How lucky I am
That you belong to my time!
How lucky I am that I found your poetry!
Poems, so beautiful and reassuring,
Those can bring Angels closer to us,
Spreading scent of sumac bushes
Poetry that is like sunlight
For the trees, far and near(Part-1)

For Daniel
PS Sinicrope
A flight of seagulls,
A stash of old poems,
muses and music,
An imaginary garden,
A golden skylark,
A walk in the woods-
These are the things that
Unlock his desires
And set his soul on fire.
Apotheosis achieved
On a daily basis
In the mind of a man
Who sees the world through a magic lens.
A black fedora
And a large winter coat
Obstruct the smiling face
And the gentle soul within.
He’s free with a laugh, a story
And a kind word—
An’ irish midwestern’ gentleman to a tee.
He’s a a poet’s poet
That shares his passion
Through imaginative commentary
And inspired verse
To you, we raise our hands up
In a toast of friendship and camaraderie.
Happy New Year 2016
Daniel Brick!
