Rainbow gravy on mashed potatoes
Invented by angel only knows.
It’s on my plate, and it truly glows.
Formed into trees, and two distinct toes.

Cousin loved it, she ate her’s and Joe’s.
I pass my plate over, and eat my jellos.
Rainbow gravy on mashed...Read More

Rednecks and hillbillies having a war.
They fought and they spit and both were so sore.
It got bloody. There was much ugly gore.
We scratched and we bit just like the folk lore.

Cousin found gold and announced it to four.

Ahem!
So my girlfriend is getting married,
And this time round,charm did not fall on my side,
She found a new fresh rib after accusing mine of costochondritis,
She now has a Bentley owner thanks to her insatiable appetite for heavy guzzlers.

Maybe I should...Read More

Pigeon’s red lollipop on a wet window sill
I gave it big licks until I had gobbled my fill
Some naysayers warned it might make me ill
Did you see it drop from the pigeon’s bill?

I did, lied my dishonest cousin Jill.
My sister...Read More

"everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucious
 

all she could see were her scars-
painted perfectly upon her chest like
a reverie flowing to her sadness
 
scars are proof of pain and pain is
proof of sorrow,
no sorrow could compare...Read More

From my smartphone
fear rings
through 
knock, rattle, hospital hospice sounds
We connect. 
Tonight all I can think about is your voice, Jean.
The last call.
Vibrations continue 
fading
ivory white and black keys 
notes play out 
on Dakota land 
snow and deep deep holes 
from...Read More

Darling of the sea darting in and out of the reefs with passion and glee.
Laughing at dangers, daring oily sharks to try and capture or eat her.
I smile at my mermaid cousin, whose attitude is loose and free.
She has such...Read More

Old men smile like children,
their faces snapshots of my son
as a boy, a teenager, a man.

I feel like a visitor
in a timeless kindergarten.
Any mother could be my mother
or daughter,
depending upon a certain glance.

A cat warming itself in the sun
looks like...Read More

Mattress and roses
A great day in Cascais sunlit and moderately cold.
We are changing a mattress the new one was easy to handle
But the old was too heavy we need someone with
Arm muscles like Hercules and he was healthy.

She lives in her father land

But beautifully and constantly 
abused by the society 

Sadness sleeps in one hand while darkness relaxes in another 

When she wears a mini skirt, 
evil men get prepare to penetrate
her pretty legs 

She lives in...Read More

burnt to a crisp -
Christmas.
but the town
is famous for
its restoration,
though
pets be gone -
eight in all;
one sits on his lap,
joining
the family’s source
of hope,
lifting the community’s spirits -
touched
by the light of Christ,
afterall 
he’s the source.

His name; Steven Q. Urkel.
He's an Einstein genius.
An inventor of  uniqueness.

Best friends Eddie and Waldo-Geraldo-Faldo.
Father figure Carl, he's a cop.

Color me Douglas Fir Green;
I feel so feathery-branched.
My constitution is supreme;
My core competes with oaks.

I was built to last and stand tall;
I cannot say as well of cousin spruce.
Taken for granted; 
the human species, mows me down;
I become boxes for...Read More

Christmas Day in our house
Started serene
Everything orderly
Perfect and pristine
Guests were all greeted
As if best friends
Little did they realise
This would soon come to an end
The spread upon the table
A glorious feast indeed
All looked scrumptious
On which an army could feed
Then there was...Read More

and it may seem very drastic...Read More

I want a cobra for Christmas
Only a cobra will do
Don't want any other junk, certainly no toy
I want a cobra that will eat up a large boy.
