Being with my wife doing anything!
I love skiing, reading, walking, hiking, biking, camping and studying the Bible. I write poetry, normally for my beautiful wife, whom I love dearly.
Classic jazz (Miles, Coltrane), cool jazz (Brubeck, Baker), rock of all stripes--classic to alternative to indy to punk, soul and Motown, some hip hop (if it's clean), classical, especially Aaron Copland and other American composers, even some country . . .
Movies
All Star Wars. Back to the Future Trilogy. Indiana Jones Trilogy. Romantic comedies: For example, You've Got Mail. Matrix trilogy. The PBS Pride and Prejudice. Rear Window is one of my favorite movies of all time (Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly). There are lots of others. I love movies.

About me: I think of myself mostly as a poet. Certainly not a great or maybe even good poet. But I am a sentimental poet who speaks from his heart about life: my God who is Creator and Savior, about the Love of my Life who is my wife, the landscape of Tennessee, the Moon, the Sun, the Stars, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I like the whimsical and the fun. I love the romantic. Oh yes, all poetry on this website written by me (and I always give my by line) is copywritten by me. Thanks.

Make me flawless, Like those mad scientist with damned huge brain. Like those crazy government with freaking power. Like those lawyers with overwhelming confidence.
Make me flawless, Like I'm a heater and I could warm you when you're cold. Like a doctor, so I could heal you when you're sick. Like a father, so you'll feel safe in my arms.
Make me flawless, So that I could never cry. So that I could never giving up, try. So that I'm always by your side. Make me flawless, Like those guys with glamorous style--even when I don't like it. Like those people who know what to do--and not confused.
Like those spirituous people--spreading positivity. Make me flawless so I'm worth by your side Make me flawless, Then I'll worth your little while (maybe)

Hey Joy's Poet!
I think you are one of my HOTTEST FRIENDS, so I nominated you for my Hot Friends list. But are you really HOT enough to be on Hotties for Sale? Find out!
Wonder of nature, Your scintillating reflections Fill with wonder childs and adults alike.
Your appearance is transitory, It is also what gives you, This surprising beauty.
But you are not the exclusiveness of the sky. Everyone can create one.
Whether it is visible or not, It is not important, Where it is, It brings happiness, And comfort to whom sees it.
But it can very well, Be hidden in the memory, Or in other places. The heart is a good one, By winds and evils, It brings a little gaiety, Transitory pleasure, Curing the evils, Independent of the winds.
Once again it radiates, Where it’s cold. I write this small selected piece, Straight out of my heart. I address it to you, Through this bridge That is the arc.
Soon disappeared, This pretty mirage, Reflecting in your eyes of mother-of-pearl.
One moment, An eternity, Who could say it, The mirror of the heart I found there. You see?... it is friendship. Zav!
Emotion is what drives us Is what strives us Powers us to be who we are So feel what you can Let emotion resonate in your soul Vibrate the very walls of your heart
Because emotion is your only true friend Emotion tells you who is who Emotion is an appreciation of the world A demise of the world And if you can’t have trust in what makes you Then you are the demise of yourself.
