Julie Rybcki Moulds "Iva" and "DOG" Poems influence.

When I was young, in High School, my Sister Julie was famous for Her "Iva" and "DOG" poems. Julie encouraged me to write as long as she lived.  I think everybody should read her poetry. When I interviewed Ken at work and created this "Character. I was influenced by Julie's "Iva" works. I thought I would write a series of short poems, as Julie wrote. I  created  "Ken" the character through a co-worker.  Julie coached me in these writings. Anybody can write their thoughts, if your lucky, other people will like them.  

KEN SEES JESUS

Early dawn, back at the firelane.

Misty rain, fog is bluish.

He has a vision of Christ.

Smoking a MARBOLO RED.

The memory stays imbedded,

Like mud on His boots.

Ken thanks God.

For that cold wet morning.

Seeing sweet Jesus blowing smoke rings.

Ken Flys

Bailing Summer hay

Swallowing pollen, dust, Horseflies

Falling off the loft in the barn

He spreads his fat flannelled arms

Impacting on sweet country dirt

Ken never flys again

Ken talks about pigs

"Why can't we be like pigs."

"They always smile no matter what the time."

Ken says "We should all be like pigs happy."

The only time their not happy says Ken

"Is when you load them up in the horse trailer."
