A dream within reach,
As a wave to the beach -
To touch it is to break it.

Lee Flier, 1975

I wrote the above poem at age 12. Clearly at the time, I really needed to get a life. Well, this was understandable as my family had just moved to Los Angeles from small-town Massachusetts, and I was really depressed. However, things did get better as time went on - within a few months I would take up the guitar! Here are a few other samplings through the years...

Laps, 1997 - call me old-fashioned, call me late for supper, but don't call me a male-basher!
A Call to Arms, 1982 - Well, a bit on the dark side, but I was 19, cut me some slack!
Somebody's Birthday, 1982 - written out of frustration with the Hollywood music biz!

You might also enjoy this (rather grim, but not Grimm) fairy tale. It was written in 1988 and is basically a true story. Well, the ending hadn't happened yet when I wrote it, but it did shortly thereafter, and exactly as I'd predicted too! Needless to say, I was rather angry with someone at the time. I'm over it now, but I still like the story anyway.
