not on my team

If I was eleven feet tall
I would happily play basketball
but since I’m a shrimp and can barely run
and not throw a ball, I am not much fun

No one wants me on their team today
Everyone boos when I decide to play
Not on my team! They say with malice
I’d rather have klutzy weird old Alice

Dear Rex and Zex

Dex and Rex were two crazy insects
they lived in Delaware’s favorite duplex
Dex’s nine-foot pet was a large T-Rex
Whom Rex did not hesitate to hex and vex

T-rex named Zex had lots of purple flecks
Cousins argued they looked more like specks
he liked to lean his giant neck over their outside decks
drivers who saw him often had car

Small Sneeze from my Closet

I heard a small sneeze from my closet
knew it was the gremlin who hides in there
he is usually more cautious, silent but deadly
another sneeze; he must be sick

I got out my Vicks and my Therma flu
grabbed him by the ears and dragged him out
he was horrified, thinking he had been a secret
think again buddy, I

In the Grip of a Panic Attack

"What's most horrible?" someone asked.
"What's most frightening?" another inquired.

Without a second, the soul replied:
"The panic attack."

One moment, I accept it;
The next, I encounter it.

Yes, it's a panic attack without any bear. 

It begins with a sharp chest pain,
A tightness that mimics the heart arrest.

A lump rises in my threatened throat,
My heartbeat races, erratic and unsure.
My

In the Wake of Transformation

Affirmed & Perfect
I looked at my reflect, 
Green T-shirt paired with black pants, 
Hopes of bright future surged ahead. 

I waited long, till a van came, 
Reached late when class had already commenced, 
Nervous and unknown in that herd, 
I thought, 
Someone would know the Aditi I left. 

With each passing day, 
I, too, failed

No Damage Done

No Damage Done
The storm approached suddenly
And the wind blew fiercely 
But the  tree fell slowly
It landed softly 
Trying not to disturb the gentle plants and trees around it
The animals in the forest
Watched it fall
It would have been a cozy home
For me and my family
Said the squirrel 
The perfect place for a nest
Said the robin
Its

PRESIDENT DITRICK

I have work up in the bed,
After getting results in my head,
For votes between Mathayo and Ditrick Richard,
Can I tell you what's goes ahead?

Do you really want to know?
Who has came president in the law,
Just cool, I will go very slow,
In my next stanza which will flow.

Name started with D, ended with K,
His name is

Amazing Alicorn named Alister

wonder alicorn Alister flew into my garden on a Thursday night
I had been lonesome, so seeing her was a terrific sight.
In jewel tones of purples, lavenders and turquoise too.
Hey! She said to me, let’s be great friends, if it’s okay with you.

Where did you get your name, I asked Alister, as she landed on a

Zany Zippy Zambo

zany zippy zambo
rarely watches Rambo
preferring cartoons
watching Saturn’s moons

persnickety ways
does not waste his days
doing what he wants and only that
brought home five dogs and one straggly cat

zany zippy zambo is the king
of doing only his own thing
he had a wife who ran away
every day for him is full of play

the will to war

The Will to War.

We are living in a difficult time for European  leaders
They are preparing us for a war that will go on forever
beneficial for the manufacturing industry
They don't want a real war, but need psychoses 
of war and steal our democracy 
people in the Nordic countries are asked to buy
food to reserve at home should a

As a submissive and passive lad

As a submissive and passive lad...

and boyish looking sexagenarian
with similar disposition,
I revel(ed) reading in general
(and spent carefree idle summer days
squirreled away with tomes
of posthumous authors)
buoyed aloft in seventh heaven
courtesy the treasure trove of books
occupying shelf space
within childhood home
at 324 Level Road
(long since razed to the ground)
and indulged passion
for the written word
as independent learning,
and both parents

joyful sprite

excited joyful sparkling sprite
danced her way into my sight
luna moth loveliness in her flight
lifting the fey in an effervescent light

Dancing D

Dickie dumbfounded dumbkopf
danced delirious dumpling dance
duped into dumb bunny deception

Hide and Seek Squirrel

hide and seek squirrel is a pleasure to watch if you must know
oak trees fight over him, he is clever, and has humor that glows
it’s my turn they holler to him as he begins his game play.
Shh! He shushes them. You will give my hiding place away!

wearing pajamas to breakfast

wear pajamas to breakfast if you can
this was said by my cute guy garbage man
he is a witty guy, this man named Stan
He said it to my dementia-teetering grandma Nan

She showed up in the cafeteria in her pajamas too
They have cartoon ponies on them in pink and blue
No one noticed, for the rest of them
