Best Come In Poems

Suspended like a lemon drop
 on the tongue of night
the moon melts—

there was a child who eyed the sky
through his black lashes crows did fly

Haze, ever present,
on this humid September eve,
blurs the edges of reality
calling forth images 
	sweet beginnings
the howls of wolf—
the warmth of blood.

HELLO DR. SEUSS – DO COME IN

There’s a BEAR
On my STAIR,
And I wish it 
Wouldn’t STARE!
There’s a WUPBOARD,
In my CUPBOARD
And a DOX 
In my BOX,
I know there’s a DARSKET,
In my BASKET
And perhaps a ZUBOON sitting
Next to my BABOON
Who resembles a BUFFOON!
Then there's SCRUB 
Who lives...

Driving past the couple 
I could see
They were heading my way
Expecting tea

Now anyone is welcome 
At my humble home
Except those two
Why have they come?

She clanks her teeth when she speaks
His nose always running... he eats like that
My stomach turns because she reeks
Her bladder is dodgy,...

Fashion a memory, with our bright winter scene
The morning brought snow, fresh fallen and clean
Find a snug shelter, from the sharp frigid air
Welcome to my holiday home, at this special time of year

Dry your wet mittens, and warm your red nose
Stand by the fire that...

All heaven's hosts rise early Autumn nights
A million stars a-twinkling merrily
The moon reflecting sun's diurnal light
Silhouetting lovers, snuggling cozily

My fireplace crackles, warming slippered toes 
A whistle from the kettle on the stove 
The doorbell rings; in cold like this, who goes
Come in, dear friend, do...

Shake the snowflakes 
from your shawl,
throw it there across the chair,
come and sit down with us all,
we have stories we can share,

  Solstice time is coming on
we are gathered here tonight,
that no soul shall be alone,
we will hold each other tight,

 lean against the...

You broke down the door.
You climbed the wall.
You make me feel ten feet tall.

So come on in.
Welcome to my den.
I'll light the candles.
I'll put on perfume and dress just right.
We'll make it through the night.

You'll enter the room.
I'll feel your warmth.
You'll feel my skin.
Please come...

Drag me away with
hooded lids
      to the dark of you.

Give axe to gates
protecting cheerless
     spirit under siege.

Swallow me in haste
lest I discover
     we cannot....

Where do we come in
					in medias res  not knowing nor caring when
doesn’t everybody pine being number one we leave behind our lives in pages  pictures  or else make for images of what we saw dreamt of as part of our lives in...

~Angels Come In Many Forms~
( Contemporary American Sonnet )


Angels come and then they just go
They come and help us as we grow
They take as many forms and shape
as day and night in awe just gape

Angels are always around us
They're not only to help but bless
So...

While I lie awake at night I am sad and start to cry
I think about the things in life I can't change 
While some are frivolous other are the gene pool and we all know it is after all the only
public pool where there is...

When unsurpassed greed's uncontrolled
King Midas' story be told!
The steps to his stash
Cast his daughter for cash
She's an allegory of gold


Author's note: I had a vivid dream a few nights ago.  Part of it included a feeling that I needed to check my personal stash...

A little flight takes off nearby
Oops! It does not drift into the sky;
A tailor bird delves into the nest,
feeds the chicks, the food best
So whenever I step into my garden
I ask them "May I come in?"

Some babblers stare at me sullenly
Oh! They're aiding grownup kids...

The man who made his meddle outta' sand,

came to my hand, 

and I kept on begging for a chant,

from god-
the angels,
or even the damned.

This locust creeped'
into that big house by the street,

into the cracks
that leaked out the meek,

caused my tree's their little leafs,
and my cats...

Like a fleet rabbit
Memory runs from recall
Teasing from afar....
