poem- looking (an #Outlander poem) September 29, 2014
“I want to look,”
she says.
Finger outlining
the focus of
her attention,
she walks
a slow, studious circle
of analysis
and inevitable
appreciation.
.
“Fair’s fair,”
he says,
stepping back
with a glint in his eye,
joyfully
thankful for circumstance
that made her
his.
.
.
.
Another poem based on Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander; this one based on Ron Moore’s TV series, specifically episode 107, “The Wedding.”
poem- old journeys
First
the steam whistles
disappeared.
Now
the tracks
are gone and
so the old journeys
are memories
and wishes.
poem- shapes
Everyone
hangs his opinions on the
frame of his philosophy and world view.
It is important to recognize the frame,
because it explains the shape
of the opinions.
.
.
A metaphor on assumptions, derived from reading Brookfield.
poem- system breakdown September 27, 2014
Your paradigmatic assumptions do not
match the causal assumptions originating
from our prescriptive assumptions.

(With apologies to Brookfield in Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher)
poem- eagle eyed September 26, 2014
There is an eagle perched
above the Eagle River,
stretching his wings
and asking for a poem.
poem- how to find writing ideas
Just
pay
attention.
.
.
I should probably give credit to Diana Gabaldon, who responded to a question about how she knows so much about human interaction. This was her response.
poem- gold drops September 25, 2014
A golden leaf
spins toward blackness,
buffeted by traffic,
drifting your way
then my way
above
the high way.
