Premium Member Brother and Sister
Susan sits by an open window
Remembering her brother
It was during the sixties when it happened
The exact date was May 8, 1966
They called the Sixties liberating
A time when America accepted change
But it wasn’t like that for everyone
Her brother Stevie
Was two years younger than she was
The guys...

Dirty Deeds
The serpent closed in on Eve at twilight
 A nebulous shape in the half light, fangs
 Hidden beneath his hood and she, her vision
 Blurred was completely beguiled by his lies.

 He bought her white roses that she watered
 With her tears and chocolate dark...

1957
Laid down on the sofa today, memory

When friend Danny and I would go down 

town on Saturday afternoon to see a movie

at the Paramount, a movie palace with a wide

screen, that would put the theaters of...

“ I’m on top of the world lookin’ down on creation”
And need no explanation
Of this feeling of pure love
That I feel for you my dove

“Whenever I want you all I have to do is”
Call your name and taste your kiss
Hold you in my arms

When Slippery Susie starts to stare

Everson Everly is happy to share

Entices Everson yes she can

Does as she likes as she leads her man


So it seems Susie is the one

Mistake it may be or can this be done

Ordinary question where is the answer

Kicking purple heels on...

Was Sealed With a Kiss
Sealed With A Kiss

Last night again messaged my wife's feet
Who I do love and sure is so sweet
We have been married for fifty years
That night to my eyes came some tears
When I thought about Hillary' defeat.

Every night continue to do this
Thought of Hillary and her...

Premium Member Golden Age of Music
Two decades of music were known as the golden age.
It was all the rage, the era from the 50s through the 70s
Motown, Rock and Roll, and Blues that touched my heart.
Listening to them always start nostalgic memories flowing.

I'll take a seat next to Otis, sitting...

Trump Will Never Miss
Trump Will Never Miss

Trump will never miss;
Considered cantankerous;
Death do seal with kiss.

Maybe I can round up
the Everly Brothers who
are high in the sky to
start sing some of my 
poems.

Is a ding a ling
Or maybe say wrong ding dong
Odor sure seems strong.

Adore an odor. Wow. Things

Some Cathy's Clown
Some “Cathy’s Clown”



Tell you how peace
In it’s solitude can break
Convulsing to a raucous din
Scatters the fragmentations of silence
A severance
Despite the quiet
And if to spite the stern waves rolling
In the distance

Tell you how
Under blue blazing skies
The rain falls on reminders
To a tilted hat and shoes splashed
Chill...
