Heavenly Host
Fading away as the days
dwindle down to a dismal few
I'm still grinning
what more can I do
my head's spinning
eyes dimming hair thinning
but if the devil's in the details
he drives a hard bargain
and if heaven's like a five-star hotel
with 'Welcome' on the mat
remember when beginning
your final innings
there'll be no winning
when you're up at bat

Manners Maketh Man
The premise goes everyone knows
before entering the premises
while still outside yet on the mat
it's no gentleman who forgets
to doff his cap or remove his hat
if dining out or at a private party
for a particular person
it's impolite at most
to sip slurp or slink a drink
before the toast to a hospitable host
and when beside the table laden
confronted

Kitty Ghost Host
My cat Champ's a gracious host this Halloween night
Filling each bag with three Snickers and a Kit-Kat bite
But is reality blurring?
Champ floats by me purring
He's a translucent ghost-host, such a frightful sight!

Clint's Host An Episode -1-
Picked up Jane and we're walking to the balcony,
and shown where we'll be sitting as the crowds mose-in,
and there's some excitement 'neath the floor we had left,
sparked favored light applause from one estranged bereft,
we're bemused fetching about well anchored split views,
what fabled then hath waned onto a seasick cruise,
be no mistake of it with drinks,

Killing The Host
All artists are frauds
most deservedly so
Escaping themselves
into something unknown
Their costumes transform
always trying to hide
The truth of their natures
— left dying inside

Beneath the host of silence that pierces with the harshness of refusal
Beneath the host of silence that pierces with the harshness of refusal,
A timid odyssey of splendor quietly sharpens its echo.
For in the depths of oceans of lamentation hidden,
Rests a crystal of strength and unfathomed experiences.
In the diaphanous embrace of rejection, where all is cryptic,
Hides a tableau of beauty yet unwritten.
In every fragment of 'failure,' a

Who Will Host My Funeral
When the clock stops ticking
When the world stops turning
When the waves stop crashing
When the darkness entombs me
Who will host my funeral?
Who will mourn my death?
Who will ensure a proper burial?
Who will miss me when I am gone?
What will people say about me?
What will my legacy upon this earth be?
What will I be remembered as?
What will

but are you merely an éclair to the greedy?

A Host of Things To Celebrate
We celebrate a host of things
Which true to form awareness brings
Us closer to our heartfelt past
By crafting memories that last.
In some things we participate,
Like birthdays we enumerate;
And, some things we commemorate,
As lives well lived we consecrate.
For some things we pay our respects -
Those things that cause us to reflect
On Life's great mysteries and gifts
That bring

Imaginary Friend
Tim was lonely as a child
Tranquil, timid and quite mild
He was considered as weird
But that wasn't what he feared.
He saw people that were dead
Monsters hid under his bed
Voices whispered in his brain
Everyday he was less sane.
Below the surface of his mind
Something of sinister kind
Started to control the boy
Playing with him like a toy.
It lied to
