For Foolish Fourth Wives 4 ContestFOR FOOLISH FOURTH WIVES
Fordham Belfour, on 4th street, fell afoul of fabulous foreplay
Four minutes before he forgot to catch the 4:44
Fortunately his forgiving fourth wife
Fell for his foolish failure to perform...

Ringo Kady and the CowboyThere were six in the cylinder,
Strapped to his side,
He stood tall,
And walked with pride.
His feathered friend, Hawk,
Upon his shoulder,
No, he didn't talk,
But was so much bolder.
Out west they would ride,
Toward the setting Sun,
Upon his horse,
Named Son-of-a-gun.
When the day had ended,
They would rest their bones,
Sit by...

The Spider of the NightThe Spiders home
So small so thin,
Do you ever think
Where's she's never been?
She spins her home
Then just waits
Hoping for a meal
At her gate.
You'll never see
A tear she might shed
For getting love
Her mate does dread.
Saunter to the web
Is what he must do
Hoping she doesn't
Turn him to stew.

One I spend my time with great joy,
I hope I don't too often annoy...

When ya read a dumb goy...

Prose Poetry
Who Had He Not Sought Such Fatal LetheThe playwright was most effective
As the dramatic illuminator
Of his own tristful destiny
As well as those of his kinfolk.
And of the two plays that treat
Of the tragic Tyrones
One features James,
His wistful pheere Mary,
And his two troubled offspring

Delicate Monster of DoomOasis of a Dream
In a Tranquil absence of Soul.
Aspirations of the Heart Abound.
Incense pay Homage to Dreams of fragile Love,
Floating away on a Cloud.
Suck at the Breast of Sorrow,
For Knowledge unbeknown,
You Reckless Beast of Burden Elude.
Quench Thirst with Sorrow of undying love,
In Turmoil forgotten,
Delicate...

The Wise Old OwlIt is said they are wise,
Beyond belief,
If you listen closely,
They can ease your grief.
If I only knew,
The words he says,
Maybe, just maybe,
It would ease my head.
For she has left me,
And I don’t understand,
What I did wrong,
For her to leave this land.
If she only...

The QuestionI follow the arrow,
Into the snow,
Where it will go,
I'm not to know.
The river so brown,
The tree so green,
Must be the Winter,
Or maybe the Spring.
I look to the sky,
The star I do see,
So dark is the night,
How can this be?
The light is there,
Or is it not?
I...

Just BelieveOne has no voice,
The other has no eyes.
They walk together,
So there is no surprise.
One is a tall man,
The other small.
One has a vision,
And tells all.
You need only ask,
If you dare,
But you better be careful,
You better beware.
Knowing what he knows,
Knowing what he...

Dream Dream AwakenI dream,
Where are you?
I love you?
But I don’t know you.
A dream?
There you are,
A dream?
How can this be?
The park so beautiful,
Children play,
A dream?
We touch,
We play,
A dream?
What fun,
What love,
A dream?
A love that can never be?
What dream?
My heart breaks,
But I must let you go.
No more dreams?
No more...

The MirrorThe mirror in the lake.
Is it there?
An illusion?
Touch it.
Is it still there?
Go deeper to the bottom.
Is it there?
Take it out if you can.
Tell me it's shape.
Is there a mistake?
Was it just a reflection?
Maybe of you?
Maybe of your heart?
The calm of the water, reflects all!!
You see...

A Dream They DreamI would that I could but dance with you forever,
Be the happiest that two could ever be,
Us in each other's arms,
Not just making love, but being in love.
Notes of love, drifting,
Lifting up with the breeze,
Drifting into the souls of two,
Destined to dance.
Our hearts, our souls,...

All Dreams ShatteredA gentle breeze blowing,
Coolness in the air,
But still a feeling of loss,
A feeling of despair.
All dreams shattered,
All dreams torn apart,
All dreams we had,
Never to part.
But she never loved me,
Not the way she said,
Just another liar,
To mess with your head.
How could I have loved her,
Without knowing...
