Best Treating Poems

The sweet-sour scent of waning hay
drifts to town from nearby fields,
pleasing all walkers with an edgy peace.

While autumn gusts enliven shadows,
the wavering moon turns sheets to ghosts,
and disguises reveal diverse fancies.

The mind evokes bewitching specters
cavorting like bats on their nightly hunts,
quickening the pace of parent...

When I get lonely, I step out of my home
and surround myself with people familiar or unknown.
After 1 hour with people, I realize what I've always known.
I am so mother freaking grateful to be alone,
and then my loneliness ends and I return home....

TREATING PEOPLE UNFAIR

life and how people treat you
most treat you bad and...

they find nothing good
nothing good in you so they

The book that’s my absolute favorite
is the most effective by far
after all my years of stuttering
having left many a inward scar

‘The treatment of stuttering’ on hardback
written by the renowned Charles van Riper
a former severe stuttered now it’s master
so hoping could be my stuttering wiper

Another yawn
'Tis early in the morning
4 a.m. again...now 6 a.m.
So I do what poets do...
Turn the pages of my brain
Searching for something
Old to share...or write something
clever and new...

Soooo here it is...
Hoping your day is filled with
Someone's radiant smile
I hope your day is crowded with hugs,
Hope...

Like a zombie at a town picnic
Scarfing brains in my room, like a shtick
My costume I offed
For I retched and coughed
Mom said, "That was the ultimate trick!"

Trick-or-Treating in the 60’s.
The good ole days.
When no one wore a bloody costume
Or a provocative costume or an offensive costume.
An innocent time when adults monitored children.
We had those awful hard plastic masks
The ones with an elastic string that broke.
They were ill-fitting and made seeing almost...

In the dark outside, 
all the kids try to hide.
Door to door. 
Looking for more.

Running and screaming.
Not knowing the true meaning.
Of this night.
What it could be like.

I look around
to find my own,
and I notic to my horror,
that one of them is gone!

I have six daughters,
and...

(This is a fictional poem)

Years ago on Halloween I wanted to wear costumes that were scary.
But my parents always made me go as the tooth fairy.
People laughed at me all over town.
It took years for me to live it down.
It was something that I always...

With ghosts and ghouls out and about
They make  kids quiver,scream and shout
Treats soon calm them down
When they come around
While tricks will spark another bout....

“How’s life treating you?” A neighbor 
Recently inquired.
He’s a working dad and I’m
A nana, long retired.

“I can’t complain,” was my reply,
“Or rather, I will not.”
For what’s the point when, after all,
I’m grateful for a lot.

The elevators in our building
Finally both work
So endless waiting is no...

We went up our Grandma Eleanor’s walk
To yell trick-or-treat when a crow gave a squawk
We could not believe how black it was, it gave me a fright.
It was not the only scary thing that happened that night.

There was a princess who fell on the step.
Another...
