- Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Listening...
Listening...
It doesn't care what I have to say
because it has a job to do,
spreading seeds and pollen everywhere,
so I stand very still and listen with care.
but they dart from branch to branch
seeking shelter and food with no worries
about their cold, wet feathers.
In fact, they seem to enjoy this weather.
and darting raindrops pelt my cheeks,
yet here I stand listening
to the bare branches click with delight,
their strong leaf blossoms stand up to the fight.
reflect low, ethereal clouds,
gliding through the gray sky,
like pictures painted by a Master's hand.
Then, I hear a message, simple but grand:
"Let go; let God."

The Brook's Treasure
I wrote this poem many years ago from a memory of seeing a brook, bubbling in the middle of the woods. It's a pleasant rhyme that, hopefully, will bring a smile to your face and a 'treasure' to your heart as you move through your own circuitous path. Enjoy!

The Brook's Treasure
For purposes I did wander
For answers I did look
until I finally came upon
a funny, little brook.
The brook was not a shallow one,
nor was it very deep,
but in this little, funny brook
a Treasure I did keep.
The Treasure was a happy song
of life, of hopes, of joys,
and in the interlude there was
a melody of Peace.
The song did have its high notes.
'Twas not without the low,
and yet, I found that as I wade
the song would fill my soul
with rippling harmonies
of peace, fulfillment, and the best~
a very special kind of Love
which called me to the test.
I knew, as I sat wondering
upon this brook tableau
that this was what I muddled for
so very long ago~
a song to fill my soul each day
a song so rich, so rare,
a song composed of harmonies
expelling through the air
and filling every twist and turn
with one selected Force~
a resolute assurance
of a Treasure true to course.
