The Hunter
...She said I'm bored I think it's time I left

You know by stubbing your toe

Is it all observable?

sharpening their nails and fangs, so their plans will thrive

Bedtime Circus

Each bedtime makes me a night-clown,
Minty paste seltzers every tooth.

Ends in a circus, dreams of youth.
Tamed at knee in dress of cotton,
Each bedtim...

The Frightmare King

My dread began in 2006, on TV his face did appear
The Burger King with the giant head is definitely morose
He lies in wait as y...

until my mind's become confused and tangled.

Halloween seems like a gatepost,
Fantasies turn into a permafrost,
Pumpkins next to the doorpost,
Vampires at the rearmost,
Ghosts at the bedpost,
Wolves at the aftmo...

I knew I was just beginning
To scratch the surface of the truth.
So I got myself a shovel.
As I dug deeper, I discovered my scent so jaded

Misty Lake
...In the gray dawn, ghostlike,
A mist rises over the lake
Like a floating whisper.
My shorts and tee shirt
Are damp and clammy
From hanging on the bedpost
Near the open window.
The dock is slip...

On a Clear Day

or any other numbered and limbered day
you may say to yourself that the birds are singing and the sky is blue.

It is fast, I wonder how long it will last
It moves in every direction,
Without any clear destination
It is past twelve
Maybe I will sleep at one

Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray.

poetically and inspirational all the way
to my friend who grants me comfort
is there to listen to whatever I say

Top Hat
...A toast.......
Of elegant swagger
From a "cocked" tail
On all four legs
With moves of
Fred Astaire, he graces
Your attention with
Haughty green eyes and a black satin jacket
Hi skits........
