Reflections from this morning…
Two lines in time
Reflect as one
Forevermore
In unison

Poem in Response
After enjoying “Rusty Rose“, a wonderfully creative mixed media artwork by my dear friend, Tiffany Arp-Daleo, a Bohemiam Abstract artist residing in San Diego, California – and, knowing that she also enjoys the Grateful Dead – I was inspired to write this poem in response…
Just like San Diego 🎨
Just like old road trip shows 😎
Your art sings like Jerry 🎶

Mountain Trail
This mountain trail was photographed on top of Mount LeConte, as seen when returning from the farthest viewing area, known as Myrtle Point. Because of a steep cliff on the mountainside, a cable (see right) has been added for safety…
Watch that first step!

Poem: Sands of Michigan
Growing up along the shores of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the city of Marquette, I have many fond recollections of summers at the beach, swimming in the water and exploring small islands…
Jumping over dunes
On the hot sand under sun
Cool, deep blue waters
Beckoning young summer funLife in Michigan
With the sound of surf nearby
Castles built of sand
Growing taller, toward the skyYet, time drifts on
In tidal flow
Shifting sand from yesteryearStill, looking back
A golden age
Sunny mornings on the pier© 2022 Phil Perkins
Music: Michigan Man – by Mike Ridley (1996)
This music is from a friend I met long afterwards, who performed at Four Green Fields Irish Pub, in Royal Oak, Michigan. As I later learned, Mike Ridley attended N.M.U. in Marquette – during the same time I lived there as a kid…small world!

Haiku
I think I've got something! What is it? A haiku. God bless you! No, it's a poem. Have you had it long...is it contagious?
Like the common cold
It is nothing to sneeze at
– words may serve to heal© 2022 Phil Perkins
