Halloween Poems

Oh, blessed Spring I have been waiting for you it seems forever,
Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes;
I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean the earth,
Delightful spring flowers are...Read More

“I recalled Valentines’ Day years ago
it was supposed to be special you know,”
       Milk chocolate?I think Not!
          Halloween is what I got-
He dressed up like...Read More

Blood to heaven and blood on the post.
Severed builder's head in the oven.
Slowly cooking to a succulent roast.
Enraptured by the local witches coven.
What happens now is anyone's guess.
His body wanders angrily wanting a job.
Will he communicate with Rudolf Hess?
And delicately...Read More

Plethora of humans (think overpopulation)
directly linkedin to planet Earth dire strait
re: environmental catastrophe, née debacle
teeters along brink tipping point inevitably
pitching civilization headlong into oblivion
Homo sapiens (minus those living off grid)
admirably self sufficient unto themselves,

perhaps ecological intentional community
while yours truly, one...Read More

(*The Gift)
This here is a side trip, nothing more,
To our country home far and away.
Grandparents own one by the seashore,
This a gift, gramps in-law and mentor,
They raised teen/gramps, not a runaway.

Gramps helped older sis and him, farming.
I think gramps was...Read More

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” By John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Autumn comes with light rain and fallen leaves,
Shorter days, chills but lots of blessedness.
As pretty doves shelter under the eaves,

We sit on benches admiring the lake,
Some birds...Read More

Rise'n from there grave & all around
Shift in the ground, plus a horrible sound
This is what I've always feared the most
Have to be quiet, these demon's are close
Gotta get to where I'm going & get there fast
Running short on time...Read More

On a foggy Halloween Night,
007 took its final flight.
A strike of lightning,
was so frightening.
The moon was full, it wasn't crescent.
The wolves were howling, it wasn't pleasant.
007 was out of sight.
It disappeared in the fog, that night....Read More

Where were you when i needed you the most?
Where were you when I needed comfort from home?
Clearly it is not anymore
Clearly it is desolate in it's bitter groans

Both mother's have abandoned me I see
Never shall I return to them,
As they...Read More

A ghost accosted his counterpart
“Let’s have a talk heart to heart”
It was that dark night of Halloween
People dressed as ghosts and goblin!

“They mock ghosts all over this town”
“Dressed as skeletons in black gown”
“Painted faces with blood and tooth”
“Nothing at all...Read More

I see America in majestic mountain ranges, lush vegetation and sandy shores.
I see her in gold fields blending into deserts and the Rockies of her Southwest
or to her east –  melding with green rolling hills, woodlands and lovely lakes.

We were invited to a house
which had a rusty door.
We went inside and heard a sound
made by the creaky ____________.   
boar   floor   store

We looked around the living room.
We tried to find our host.
And there...Read More

Unicorns, witches, hippies, faerie pirates too.
Interspersed among dragons, bunnies, a castle of blue.
Ghostly apparitions that say how do you do?
Strewn around the living room, my art so woo-woo.
Psychedelic colors amazing, and I don’t mean a few.
Come see for yourself. They...Read More

a  Santa suit-red
snowflake-white and pine tree-green . . .
my rainbow glistens

Like a rainbow after rain, the colors of the Yuletide season appear for many
of us to warm our souls in the cold of winter.  This year my yultide...Read More

Down the pike, seasonal traps,
and festive lures trundle in,
weave ways through orange barrels,
past Red Lobster’s neon’s
a surf and turf backwash of traffic.
Pumpkins drop dead gradually.

Bedside Halloween costumes,
seams worn to a frazzle, no longer dazzle.  
Yet we cheer for the...Read More

Scads of decades ago...

Metaphorical mama's yoyo
came undone, unleashing woe
doggone wizard of oz sought in toto
afore final picture show
would play staging pro
sic cuter determining
irrevocable fate oh no!

Approximately this time of year
(circa mid December) as
Christmas holiday doth near,
yours truly donning his unrecognizable
incognito...Read More

Christmas, Valentines Day, Halloween, 4th of July
We are fools we spend money to make others rich
They do not care about the heart they only care about money
We are all fools! But,

What fun is life if your not foolish! :-)...Read More

I'm a little paranoid
Just like an Android
That's about to get hit by an astroid
I woke up dead
There's a snake in my bed
Beads of sweat dripping off my forehead
Time stands still When you feelin ill
I think I'll take one more pill
Crush...Read More

Happy Thanksgiving/ 
My stomach full of emcees they stuffing/
 dressing
Dressed to kill if looks could kill I’m drop dead gorgeous/
Wings golden like the Cherubim on the ark of the Covenant/
I’m looking with Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes/
I skin rappers I’m...Read More

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
We heard father singing
He'd got rather soused.

Mother tut-tutted 
At his yuletide cheer
He yelled "merry christmas"
Then chugged down a beer.

He stood on our cat
Who then shot up the tree
We fell about laughing
At this...Read More

You may of held me down
And pull my teeth
With your silly string on the door
Slammed it and made me bleed

You are still my brother I adore
You can get mad about your playboys
I burnt out doors
You can tell mom about the...Read More
