A sweet homemaker named Shelly Gorde

with her laundry and cleaning was bored.

She imagined a beach

with a sea within reach.

Rode her ironing board like surfboard.

We Were So Blessed, When Our Love Was New

Nevermore softest touch of loving hand
 nevermore, will we together stand!
Forevermore, our sad souls shall deny
 forevermore, lost halls echo our cry!
 
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was...

If I could live under the sea
I would marry my sweet  mermaid Shelly
Oh how happy the two of us would be
Swimming forever in the deep blue up to the brimme

The fish would wish they could be us
For we could survive in sea to shore
The...

A bright Texas sun
Beat down upon this day
In the middle few should know
A teenage soul should stray

Stolen by a thief
With no apparent motivation
This man offered
No explanation

A mighty blast filled the air
She had wronged none

Now robbed of her life
She...

No chirpy birds were singing, 
    No flowers were in bloom, 
But the sun nonetheless was pleasing 
    On that warm September noon.
It was the time of innocence,

The rustling trees, the smiling flowers
Like a skylark his words fly higher and higher
His poems smile and say YES
To the spring sky, freedom and tenderness...

Shelly is all decked out for her first date.
Fifteen and nervous, pretty but shy.
The boy’s parents pick her up.
He is in the front seat with her dad.
She climbs in to the back with his mother.

Now Sammy has asthma, his mother says!

Shelly looks stuck up but she is far from it.
Many do not know her the least little bit.
Children who visit her see a pure heart.
Her kindnesses to them she’ll gladly impart.

We who do not know her, make judgements fast.
Shelly looks uppity, however, if she knew...

Joe and Shelly’s house is on fire!
It is simply and surely ablaze!
The flames are incessantly higher.
Yet we see him sitting there, in a daze.
 
Mr. Hamilton runs straight in there,
We see him through the transparent window.
He runs promptly back out with burning hair,
Did you get...

Shelly came running in with her heart on both sleeves
I am in love again! She yelled. Nothing new at Family Reunion McVees.
Shelly is always in love, she can fall in love six times a day.
She is an intense admirer too most men run swiftly away.
She...

Ms. Shelly began to write.
Scratched it out.
Began again.
The lights are on, but no one is home.
Scribble Scribble

His dendrite field is nonexistent.
Scratch. Scratch.
She kept writing and scratching
What could she write on this child’s report card?...

Shelly always wore big boots when she walked pink bear
He left his mark hither, yon, over here and under there
His piles were huge, and gooey, and warm and smelly too.
She never cleaned up the mess, when they were through....

Blessed in abundance that manifests in our 
stressed daily interaction with our fellow man, and the sincerest 
form of our inner wellbeing is the outpour of laughter.
Dormant in the face of adversity, while we empathise with 
modern populace at large and try to bring some...
