Here is his newest poem he wrote to Robin, his wife:

I Had to Take a Moment and Share This with You

Waking up next to a friend
Is a feeling I never want to end
Going on a trip with you
Makes me want to go again and again

Sure I may get mad and sometimes walk
away
But away I would never stay
Because with you
Everyday is a brand new day

You question my doubt
Bring my brighter side out
You quiet my pout
And make more joyous my shout

Though I may protest
Not always think what you say is the
best
Still I would risk all the gold
promised
Just to hear you say I Love You Yes

Purple Bananas

1. There's purple bananas on the moon
I'm not quite sure but they said it was true
I'd go there and find out for myself
But I don't have the time or the wealth
I'd read a book about it too
But they say books can lie to you

2. Besides, they convinced me to ride this flying horse
It's the best we've got but we'll sell it of course
I know what you're saying the horse is a goat
With the price I paid how could I say no
Besides, they convinced me it really has wings
I'm going to fly to the moon, eat purple bananas, and sing
Purple Bananas on the Moon

A Poet I Am

1. Poet I am but more
For my imagination shows the door
People can see many things
When they float in their mind with wings

2. Imagine yourself
Poor or with wealth
Near or far
A mountain or a star

Chorus: I am a clown
A painter
A mayor of a town
Or a deer

3. Imagine yourself walking in space
Now this can be any kind of place
For you are the director
As well as the actor
