3rd Degree

We were twelve,
gathered at Daksa Island,
in the Adriatic’s haunted breath.
The sea moaned like a choir of the forgotten,
as shadows clothed themselves in black robes.

In the silence, a blade gleamed—
a knife that whispered, truth is not free.
They placed it before me.
“If you betray the mysteries,” they said,
“this edge will taste your life.”

My thumb was cut—
blood welled

Mickey Mouse

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse
Still struts through each media house,
With hose stretched tighter than his grin,
And yellow shoes too big for his thin shin.

You have to Visualize a Life for Two

one plate, a dish, a spoon, a knife
you live for one, there is no wife?
all your art pieces feature only a single
If you go to a party, do you ever mingle?

you have to visualize a life for two
your artwork must be changed immediately too
you have to buy two plates, two dishes and two knives
but please

My Query as Found to be Airy

I have always been a bit wary
of Gary, Mary, Sherry and Larry
They each seem a little bit contrary
Fighting over blue, straw, or raspberry

I took this to Carrie, our head faerie
She thought my query was a tad bit airy
Looked it up in her faerie dictionary
Experts’ opinions appeared to vary

Enter an expert from a local dairy
his name

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

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

Rich Aunt Sue

she is batty, bonkers, cranky, and crazed
with a cherry on top, her brain icing glazed.
demented, deranged, daffy, silly too
loco, looney tunes, a maniac, our Aunt Sue
Say that to her face I prissily suggest to the speaker
She would cut him out of her will, then he’d really be a squeaker.

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

Joyful Jay

Jay’s jargon is jammed with jerky jammer
jiggery-pokery and jocundity. Jiggling joyous
joviality and jubilance, justifying Jay’s jollity.

The sunlight through piss and pain

Some places you don’t write about. You survive them.

Frost on the telly, piss on the stairs,
Smells like bleach, burnt foil, and prayers.
Boiler’s gone. Sockets dead.
Someone’s screaming. Someone bled.

Tinfoil wings fill every bin,
Ashtrays stacked with yesterday’s sin.
Fridge blows air. The kitchen’s grave—
Nothing left, and none to save.

Upstairs she rocks a silent kid,
Eyes like glass, ribs half-hid.
Skin

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!
