Star Stunning

70th Anniversary of this beauty!

Robert E. Bourke of Loewy/Studebaker is credited with the Starliner design.


Beautiful 1953 Starliner, customized & owned by Ian Hendry of Yorba Linda, California.

 
Gliding to earth
a heavenly burst
of stardust

gracefully sleek
igniting our lust

Bourke’s vision
of automotive chic

as enticing
and exciting
as a beautiful women

no american car
ever minimalisticaly finer

a heavenly body
named for its celestial muse
the alluringly stunning
Starliner

Warrior Star

We learned last week my wife Kathy has cancer — our fight has begun!
This poem is a manifestation of complete victory.

 
Kathy
my warrior

cancer’s foolishly
chosen you as a foe

it’ll never
break your spirit

you are a star

you’ll slay this beast
strike it down

you’ll be
its masters

together
we’ll fight
— ferociously

cancer’s been a fool
to choose you as a foe!


Kathy
