She’d been misled
And with dread, saw
His head was bald.
What a bad dish.
Her fond wish was
Catfish instead!

Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice CreamOut in the sun
ice cream runs down
someone’s sad face
Fun will begin
once again, when
the chin is clean,
A few more dimes
just in time, will
buy nine more cones!
Ice cream for all
as we sprawl, in
the shawl of shade

Son's science quest,
insect nest finds;
school's best project.
Saves in his room.
Wakes to doom when
with gloom, he cries.
Hundreds now crawl.
Every wall sports
hatched small mantes.

Age just two, poor

A true poem about my sister and dad who were visiting his friend Alexis. Dad poured a...

Hold your dreams tight!
In your sight then
Each night sleep there.
Dream on with glee!
You hold me thus
Lets be with care.
Under pale blue moon
Love blooms soon show
in rooms quite fair.
Velvet touch spreads!
On soft beds slept
Love weds our pair.
I think your kiss
Each I miss now

GoodbyeGoodbye, Sweet Day
Magenta sky

as I ponder
how the sun glows
though night flows in!
Dusk grows colder. . .
A lone gull’s cry
has me sighing
goodbye, sweet day.
For the...

Hissing DragonHissing heartshaped
Dragon draped route
Escaped ship slips
Camouflaged trap
Seaward map shown
Sails slap in breeze
Portal to sea
Songs of glee flow
From freedom's voice
