Daniel’s poetry leaps off the page and escorts the reader on a journey that sails above the landscape, dives into the ocean and explores the depths of the human mind and soul.

~~~From the book~~~

The Miser

His wife relaxes the evened hours
With a solitaire hand,
Their children squander eyed time
Gaming into the midnight
But he worries every minute’s less,
Squeezing out drabbed work-points
From the tube of life, pinched flat;
Frugal elder of the clock,
He pockets
The moment,
Hoards the seconds,
Ever goes for thirds;
In the locked vault
Of his work,
No coinage of pleasure
Only
Collecting
Paper
With
A will.

Getting the Slip

Another
Editor’s slip
Pulled success
Out from under me–
But since scientists
Say over 50% of our
Genes inhabit bananas—
I must be the human
Peeling out
–As I slip–
Laughter Pealing,
Tolling time;
Foraging
In my roots, branching out,
Redwooded though fired,
Bristleconedness
Up growing above
Rejections littering
Underneath–
So much compost.
