Smoky Hoss Biography
A lack of literary artifice is no sin,
So long as the way of the words invite the soul in.

Both low and high.'

Smoky Hoss Poems
Come and see the old poet
Laying in his bed of ashes and dust,
His love in ruins
His mentality frozen by restless rust,
...
Don't we all wonder, remotely
- in ways we cannot even fully understand -
'What's this all about? '
Age has invaded our mind
...
There we sat
Just me and the cat,
Upon a bench overlooking the river Thames,
The cat turned to me
...
Every time, that last year of life,
when I would go visit her in the nursing home
where she spent her days dreaming inside of those
walls that weren't her own,

Smoky Hoss Quotes
All dirt washes off, so go, roll in the mud, have a ball!
When all is said and done, we are all just walking each other home. - Ram Dass
When I talk to God, I knew He'd understand; He said, stick by Me, I'll be your guiding hand... but, don't ask Me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want Me to. - Peter Green
Smoky Hoss Comments
Smoky's a poet with depth of heart, and an understanding of the human condition. always a good read!
Smoky, your poetry always leaves me wanting more of your insight and abandon. I love your work. Poem Hunter: I am having trouble with reading poems on here of late. When I pull one up it goes before I am finished. Que past?
Smoky, Contact me at boonejim88@yahoo.com. We should do some poetry readings together. Jim
I find your poetry beautiful because of the honest heart-truth in it and how spontaneously you lay out that truth in smooth flowing words. I wish I could learn that art!
Everything I have read of Smokey's is well written and deeply inspirational- and very moving and interesting to read! ! Good work!
What can I say about Smokey, I know he is a great poet whose morals and positive outlook on life always shine through his words. His love for the great American Southwest which I share has endeared him to me. I can see his values and love for God in all his poetry. I just hope someday to be able to walk the Mojave with this poet who is such an inspiration t so many. Until that day pal, keep em flying.

Continuous kindness, class, and deep thinking. That is what I know of Smoky Hoss. His name might convince you he has rough edges: but don't fall for that. He is a splendid writer and I'm glad I've come to know him here at poemhunter. You'll never regret reading his poetry; it will open your eyes to things you never suspected existed, to things you never gave much thought to before..he dreams hope into his messages to the reader, a valuable and lacking commodity in this age.
