In the bustling inn
In the bustling inn
Most patrons are smoking
I offered you one
Your eyes stiffened
I laid before you
A map of Hollywood
Electricity at each step
You looked unyielding
Maybe you prefer
Ripples of the river
Just a gentle shiver
From the tips of fingers
Very well, my dear
Please choose your own spring

Falling In the River Inn
Is Simbach Austrian? Is Braunau German?
Buda’s bumpy, Pest
is flatter.
The Danube does it best.
Is history a palimpsest?
(Think Durer, think Blatter).
And spare me the sermon.
I forget the rest.
Does any of it really matter?

My Inn
My Inn by NoelsArt
Humans are a hotel.
Each day a new check in,
Happy, Sad, Good, or Bad
Welcome to My Inn!
Smiling, “May I help you?”
“Here’s the key to Room 2.”
“Enjoy the breakfast buffet
and enjoy the coffee too.”
Smiling at my frown
Laughing at my sorrow,
“Okay, spend the night”
“But, begone by tomorrow.”
Be grateful to new check ins,
they’ve all been

1066 at the Imagine Inn
"Ballinger's pride will be the death of him,"
Was the last muttering of the old cyclops before
The poison took over. Never trust unicorn bartenders.
Young Gallimay, the town's token centaur,
Walked into this scene:
Serren's body laid across the bar.
Tempest the unicorn bartenders cleaned pint glasses. (All ladee-da.)
Two old frog friends sat in the back with lagers,

Outside Looking Inn
Hiding again from the dazzling sun
Why am I here, I’ve no clue
There’s no necessity to walk around
No urgent business to do
Sounds like I’m killing the time, but I’m not
It is exactly the opposite
Time is the killer in this endless plot
With a space, an accomplice of it
It’s never a conscious purpose of mine
To sit in

At The Ramada Inn
At The Ramada Inn
teenage boyfriend sits butt close to brown eyes
waitress with bleeding lips serves a silent sirloin
middle aged mother says the meat is too rare
bespectacled father stares at the impaled thing
says the leaking steak isn’t dead enough to eat
bleeding waitress takes jiggling meat to the flames
teenage boyfriend tells brown eyes he

Our Family Vacation at Pine Tree Inn
A few scattered yellow wood cabins
a swimming pool surrounded by pines
a pier to fish from, a lake not to go in
‘cept for the stinkpots* and sailboats

The George Inn
January years ago, confused far away I was with the cold.
Landed in Bristol on a snowy airport, as snowed were the meadows and frosted my mind.
A trip to say hello and goodbye to a beloved one,
taking my hand, she closed her fading eyes into her last sigh. I saw the dark face of life
turning

Jaded Holiday inn Frisco
Jaded holiday in Frisco ,
Where Paul Getty lost his marbles harbour
For a old dog tawg
Rumble a chick
Banjo medicine and black madness
Eager paws or void in of contempt
I can't roll dice at Coney island
Without a slow snow cone
Program for Rita ford
Or a lengthy draught of carpenter wood

Dew Drop Inn
Buttercup beautiful
Reflect now on my chin
The face of my sweet bluebird
Let her image there sink in
Then travel through my body
Course within my veins
Reach my heart and live there
Forever to remain

Bethlehem Baby
While shepherds watched their flocks so white
All contemplating dusk,
Their ’phones received some breaking news
All thanks to Elon Musk.
His Tweet announced a virgin birth
In a stable by an inn,
They danced around the windswept heath
To a flute and violin.
In Bethlehem was born a child
A-sleeping in a crib,
They scrolled the Twitter crowd’s response
And thought it rather glib.
The

Memories of the Drive-Inn Revisited
When I was young and a child
growing up in Discovery , Florida
South Africa
1 of the few limited thing's we actually
had or could do was go the Drive-Inn
There was Veldskoen , Hilfox , 5-Star
and Top-Star
But that's besides the point it's the
memory of the experience that keeps
coming back to me
Of the magic on a summer's

Family Reunion At Oinkington Inn
Let’s stay at Oinkington Inn the easily pleased relative said.
Her husband looked at brochure and said I’d rather be dead.
The pigs are lovely, she replied. There is nothing to dread.
He told her to go to her family reunion with her cousin Ned.
The sows and hogs were truly placated and fine.
We visited them near an old
