This is the story of mad Molly Shaw
She might be mad now but she wasn’t before
she came home to find her man dead on the floor
She lay down her bible and let out a roar 

She walked into town with her hair in a mess
Fresh...

Why do we persecute this Jesus?
this Palestinian Jew, with claim
to one almighty God?
Ahh! let me home, it’s all too
much, and no avail.

so I Longinus, leader of Pilate’s guard,
which nailed him up, (he never complained)
gave him up, his broken body to his 
mother and the crowd;...

"50 Words for Poe: Witch"




She liked driving fast
The number plate in the dust
Read DOT.OZ.LimaLimaBrava 
Their destination was Wichita

Off Route 66 Silver Lady purred
Some Kansas backwater 
Galena sped by in a blur

He kind of liked it 
that she wore hardly a stitch...

He spoke with the devil perched upon his left shoulder,
but no angel sat on the right of this diabolical sinner.
The king pointed his scepter; his lemmings did his bidding.

Dethroned, he claimed foul to the...

(These would include the younger brothers of Wounded Thunder, 
the character I made up in my previously posted poem).

These were sons of Thunder Storm and “Flower,”
from Wounded Thunder down to Thunder Bolt.
“Bolt” was fast; the touchy one was “Shower.”
And Thunder Struck was somewhat of a...

With a shade of colourless eyes
Have I looked upon a world of discrimination 
My nature is a rare form of uniqueness
And I defile every race by description 

Golden hair on pale silver skin 
An African white woman of Timbuktu  kin
I have danced to the...

'Twas the night before Christmas and I still had gifts to buy.
I procrastinated getting it done; a terrible fault I can't deny.
As I juggled bags of presents that cost far too much money,
A sidewalk Santa winked and said, "How ya doin' Honey?"

I scowled at the...

Whatever rules they make up now in twenty-twenty-one
‘Little’ Frankie tells his dad I need to have some fun
His dad said how about a pet, I’ve just embalmed a pup
But Frankie moaned I’m sorry but I feel I’ve been stitched up
You said I’m bits of people,...

Years ago, you found me grounded with wings afraid to fly.
Toting smiles and truths of note, you paused to view my sky.
Was soon that I thought once, and you concurred twice,
that my wings and you could be a mutual, enjoyable device.
Years confirmed our intangible wares...

Once upon a time, Prunella
dwelt amid a magic wood
a dainty pixie most rare
whose temperament wasn't good

Last one of her purple line
in that dreary, dreaded glen
where beasts ever feared to tread
and mankind had never been

For purple pixies were known
to be devilishly mean
they'd terrified the kingdom
wherever they...

He spoke of faith.  I told him I had none.  He laughed.  I scowled, muttering an obscenity.  He continued.  Telling me that we all had faith, that I had faith.  He asked me if I had a brain. ...

 Earphones plugged to my ears, listening to Music in my cellphone.

Life is confusing sometimes
At least it has been for me
I was Mom’s “change of life” baby
two siblings far older

change in the birth certificate
three days spent as Marilyn

not many toys in our city home
so I started jumping off things
graduated from steps to trees
then...

Now is going on through a secret way
Between the martyrdoms and the ground wall,
My master, and I behind him to stay.

“Oh highest virtue, who me gently haul
In wicked rounds”, I started, “If you please,
Speak to me, and to my requests befall. 

The persons  who...

410 AD when mythology takes hold
Barbarians threaten to conquer Rome
Roman troops abandon Britain, head home
But Chieftain Vortigern seizes the throne

Britain’s new king sought to flex his power
Mt. Snowden’s site chosen for his tower
But before Vortigern builders cowered
Ever-crumbling walls left his face sour

Soothsayers were beckoned and...
