My Happy Ending
The look in your eyes was undeniable,
As if the light shined for the first time.
The smile on your face made me realize,
This is the beginning of something special.
I've dreamed of you so many nights,
Thinking all was lost then, I found faith and
This is the start of what I needed and desired.
A simple touch of your

A Corner Booth and Eggs Benedict
The mood needs to be just right
Candles lit and flowers placed perfect
So fun to be in the spotlight
Winds of fortune caress this site
Our guard down, never circumspect
The mood needed to be just right
Ambiance fills

A happy ending?
A camel and a dog
Tired of performing
Every night
At a circus.
Escaped.
The camel walked
On top of it
Sat the dog
guiding the camel.
They found the valley
Seen on a map
In the window
Of a book shop.
They lived happily
Till the died.
The dog´s tongue
Stung by a bee
Could not swallow.
The camel died too
When the water
In the lake
Got brackish.

The Lost River-Driver, Part Ii
...But times did change, the great drives stopped,
the state came and blew up the rock,
some though that Joe would now pass on,
but he still showed up on dark nights,
and his face was such a sad sight,
a ghost depressed, his one last purpose gone.
For decades the dead man looked blue,
what kept him here, nobody knew,
and he

The Lost River-Driver, Part I
It was a century ago
when Joe Gibbs’ rode the water’s flow,
driving logs through the river’s waves,
a young man only twenty years,
fast with a pick-pole, had no fear,
and never had they seen a man more brave.
At night he did joke with the guys,
in drunken song his voice did cry,
the river-driver’s all liked him,
he could make the

I Must Not End This Story With a Happy Ending
I must not end this story
with a happy ending as many
stories that are written for money;
I have come to the conclusion
that I must not end this story
and enhance it with allusion!
My story began two summers ago
when the enchanting blueness of the August sky
was as vast as the serene sea below;
in November leaves change colors
bringing shivers

Allan's Happy Ending, Part Iii
...It was two years later, while at his desk,
Altan felt a pain he’d never known before,
Tried to call for help, it came out a croak,
the last thing he remembered was the floor.
When he came too, he found himself walking
towards a small and quaint outdoor café.
Janet waited there, tilting in her chair,
with a big piece of

Allan's Happy Ending, Part Ii
...Years passed and Allan tried dating once more,
but soon gave up, as it didn’t feel right.
How could he when he still loved his Janet?
This caused him to take up drinking at night.
The drinking, of course, screwed up his judgment,
and one night went to bed with his nanny.
This continued until he realized
she only really cared for

Allan's Happy Ending, Part I
Allan leaned back in his chair as he munched
on a piece of bread at the small cafe,
he daydreamed idly as he sat there,
his wife Janet was again running late.
He didn’t mind, since he had the time,
one of the perks of being your own boss,
and every Friday they went out to lunch,
Allan much enjoyed these few

Defending Depending On Having A Happy Ending
Had decided that we were defending,
Our thoughts that on are depending;
Not delude,
And conclude,
That we would have a happy ending.

Call a Sitter We Have Plenty of Money
The singles ad pointed out to her was beautifully written.
Even though married, bored, Shelly was instantly smitten.
She told some big lies, so she could meet her soulmate.
They had a meeting place, and she agreed to be there by eight.
Her husband would watch their six children, of course.
He never had anything to do, if he was

A Happy Ending
And so another saga begins
in a loving, aging extended family.
We are all victims of cancer's proclivity.
How could we have the temerity to
assume otherwise and miss the nuance
that is her speciality?
Soon the marrow will have an aperture
that will attest to blood results.
A prelude to treatment.
A treatment that leaves it's latest victim
and us barren of joy
