Queen smiles, watching court jesters
parade in costume jewels
upon revolving stage
living delusions

A COSTUME FOR THE CAT

Cat, my miniature human,
in a tiny costume of fur,
what would you wear if you would dare
to let such crazy thoughts occur?

Person, I wouldn’t wear your clothes,
or want any closets of shoes.
My own bare paws are fine. You saw 
I don’t get...

Mom, there's a big kid
in a Terminator costume at the door
He asked does Sarah Connor live here
I played along with the joke, and said: Yeah, sure

I told him I like his costume,
and I really liked his gun
He said, "Hasta la vista, baby
But I'll be...

One day in early April, I’ll be given a surprise.
Old Man Winter will have barely trudged away.
I’ll drive up to my house and before my eyes,
Spring will have returned in bright array -
with my front yard trees a part of her costume ballet.

The buds on...

spineless uniform
tapered, buttoned, pressed
exaggerate long lines
colour pops, the eye
is drawn

attention call out
redirect, speaks
whisper or yell
constantly consistently

focus shift distract
detracted attraction
stitch, wash, cut
dye the parts
rip, reassemble
connect to conquer...

A costume was found.

it was that of a clown…

could it be they asked..

the one from our town..

where the little red headed kid disappeared..

on a cold windy night back twenty-two years..

Here’s for partners , both who are thin,
A costume they both can fit in.
I’ll explain now for you
The first thing you can do:
Find some trousers gargantuan!

And since one pair of pants must fit two,
You’ll each need to place both your legs through
Just one side of...

Hairy eyeballs hanging from a wizard’s crown.
Arachnids sprawled on his black sparkling gown.
Ludicrous marks scar his face beneath a frown.
Luscious blood dripping very slowly down.
Opulent jewelry shaped like bones.
Worn around his neck amid creepy groans.
Ecstatic bats wait around for deadly moans.
Eerily suspended from their master’s...

Sadness is a beautiful costume
Made of african cloths
Sewn with lines of sadness
Which I wear everyday
Along the years

If other clothes 
I had to wear
Why in stress only
Would I empty myself completely?


When I go out to the street
Brown curly my hair
Smooth dark my skin 
Beneath the beautiful...

Today Suzanne will wear a red tutu costume her mom made for Halloween,
her baby rosy cheeks will seem two roses of a garden with a satin sheen....

Many girls of this generation love to wear a Halloween costume...
something unusual, not looking like a fair godmother, they assume.


Madonna is their idol too, more stylish than Lady Gaga, but much they seem to share...
they should choose the costume that will make them look much...
