Best Merry Poems

One half is submerged in light,
the other in darkness.
Half says goodnight and the other
tugs the harness.

Kids climb backyard trees tinged
with school bus yellow.
As lovers play hide and seek
in the nighttime meadow.

Training wheels lay abandoned -
youthful eyes bear cornea confidence.
The silver spokes whistle through copper leaves...

Between the trees tall figures

Sisters hidden by perfect mirrors

Behind shivering trees pale and drawn

Shadows snicker at glories dawn



Fairies draw near flickering sheer petal wings

By quivering glimmer perfect mirrors swing

A verdant sea of cushion ferns and bushes

Admiring absolute spring beauty wishes



A magical playful fairy

Crowning grace

Streaming lace

I write when beauties step into my heart
and when the Muse unveils her very art.

I write when to a wonder, my soul leaps
and when the warmest of bliss is spilled heaps.

I write when Nature reigns and sends her scent
and when allured to my Self give...

Across the long distance of many miles

You seduced, you stole, you exalted, you annihilated, 
You elevated, you decimated, you connected, you sucked me dry,
You opened me up, you closed me down, 
You delivered me to ecstasy, you devalued and discarded me, 
You were sensual, you were sardonic,
You made my heart smile,...

Robin treated his men down at the inn
To sexy wenches, food, mead and some gin
All got drunk on the mead
Then got high on the weed
Friar Tuck said “it’s not right it’s a sin.”

Robin’s outlaws were enjoying the night
And with the sheriffs men started a fight
The...

There is “Carolina,” and she’s the beauty of a winter picture perfect 
With luscious long coal black curly hair far down on her back 
As a true fairy princess, Carolina is quite beautiful...

The Merry Minstrel of Mickleover

I strike this chord without a sword
For I am not so brave
Whence came a knight with armour bright
Who vowed princess to save

The wicked sire of the shire
Had seen well to kidnap
The daughter of the king and bring
Much wealth into his lap

Handsome...

It’ll be an old fashioned Christmas,
with Santa due down the chute.
I bet he Purells his reindeer, 
and Lysols his hazmat suit.

It’s an old fashioned Christmas.
We’ll all have on our masks,
and our muffled yuletide carols,
will be just like seasons past.

We’ll observe all the guidelines.
We’ll eat six...
