I've been writing short stories and poems since I was in Grade School. I've had a number of poems and short stories published in small unknown magazines. My dream is to get a book published that gets national attention (not necessarily a best seller) so I can feel like I've made a positive difference in the world.

How to Build a Flying Saucer

I had a dream one night that taught me how to make a Flying Saucer, and I now realized that the U.S. Armed Forces could make it happen. The key to overcoming the inertia, allow for zig-zaging through the sky, are in lightweight materials and centrifugal forces. That's why most UFO's have the silvery aluminum look, and at least part of it spinning. The key to making it fly isn't that much different then that of a helicopter, only that the blades are disguised as the outer spinning edge of the flying saucer. Now if I only had a bunch of money and my own fabrication shop filled with engineers, I'd go make my own. And if I suddenly disappear off the face of the earth you’ll all know that I was right, and that they have taken me away to hide the truth.

Marsha

Beautiful Marsha
To my beloved Marsha
The one you find once in a life time
The one I hope finds me
The one I think of
The one I hope thinks of me
The one I hope to be worthy for
The one I hope is worthy for me
The one I dream of
The one I hope dreams of me
The one that makes me smile
The one who's eyes are a taste of eternity
The one who's smile serves me joy
The one who's voice is wanted daily
The one who's presence is desired
The one I hope to be with
The one I hope wants to be with me
My beloved Marsha, the one I love

The paper eyeglass

Spaldam's Gallery

I looked threw my spyglass and what did I see?
A strange looking man taking pictures of me.
It seemed really strange and a little scary too.
I wanted to pound him with my eye glass too.
It really was quite strange, and it seemed to be,
the very weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

The Keyboard


The Keyboard is my Instrument
The computer is my Friend
It understands my Instrument
And interprets what I've conceived
The Monitor is my Vision
It shows me what I've seen
It let's me know it sees my Vision
The vision that I've conceived

The mouse is fun sometimes But isn't nice to me
I throw it threw the window sometimes But then it ruins what I've conceived

When I go to bed Tonight
I'll dream what i can Dream
And when I dream of you all Night
I can't believe what I've conceived

If this poem makes no sense to you Just remember what I've said
And know that without you................

Well,... it's you that I've conceived!

Stupid Trees


Shoveling threw the snow
Sun on my back
Melting & dripping
Shoveling, shoveling throw the yard
Shoveling over to grandmothers house
Around & around, boy this blows
Muscles aching & stomach cranking
Around & around we go
Once were done, with all this fun
The snow drops from the trees
