Janet From Another Planet
Maybe you’ve seen Janet
she’s from another planet
making all her regular stops
at the local charity shops
loves a second hand rail or two
lives in the land of good as new
to knock and shock them in the aisles
with frocks and socks of different styles
for Bolton she’s a smidgen bold
but not one to be pigeonholed
Maybe you’ve seen Janet
she’s

Janet
Your soft love, my graceful dove,Kindles my dark essence.
Your divine lips and your sinful hips are of great consequence.
The whole world knows your ethereal embers,
Yet I'm the only one who truly remembers
That your gilded presence on this muddy earth,
Is the sole reason of love's birth.
Yet in entirety, you have given,
Your love's worth, to someone who

Waltz For Janet Webb
She wore thick leggings
our childhood polio albatross
mass Sabin vaccine sauce
body snatcher ritual
fixed beautiful legs.
(In early elementary school she wore braces most of the way through 6th grade. We all went to the nearby JHS to drink the approved Sabin vaccine. By 7th grade she had healed. She had beautiful, working legs.) She has recently, physically

Janet
We met many years ago.
On a farm where tiger lilies grow.
The scent of an apple pie.
The bright sun shining in the sky.
I dreamt of the day I would meet you.
Yet I always thought it would be the hardest thing to do.
For the love I had for your son.
Your first born boy, your number one.
I wanted

Grandma Janet Takes a Chance
The thought of life on another planet
Held no appeal for Grandma Janet
But the COVID lockdown
Made Grandma fret and frown
Masks banned there? ~ I think I can stand it

Janet and I Our Souls Were Once Connected Now We'Re Not-
Janet
We had a love so pure, this I was sure;
our souls were connected,
our souls were connected,
true love, I really believed was assured;
Our spirits danced under the moonlit night;
Whom am I to ignite, passions rights;
~
But our love was just a figment of a swear;
And forever meant only a day
it destroys me,

Just For Mama Janet
Grace granted us a say on our knees:
a thousand pleas pummeled the sky,
stirred the heavens. The Lord moved,
gentle thunder rumbled:
My daughter's back home!
Our hearts sank, too heavy to bear,
for Janet was a sweetheart, a mother
we've hugged for twenty years and more—
never saw anger crease her comely face
or her girth tinged with the pride of

Living the life of innocence
Not giving into pretense
The act of being good and kind
That person so hard to find
No mean or harsh words
That would be absurd
There was a peace and tranquility
The spender in serendipity
Unassuming of others motive
Leaving alone the combative
Gentleness and a quite reserve
Angelic to observe
It was special to know and love
Gone now but renewed

Jubilant with clarity in motion
Atoned in descent whiff
Nested with magnificent truth
Eclipsed at heart, soul and mind
True amongst earthly beauties

I Was a Nurse in Vietnam,
Not Something I’d Recommend.
I Was Present So Many Times,
When a Soldier Met His End.
I Don’t Do Nursing Anymore,
And I Haven’t since Vietnam.
I Saw and Felt Too Much....
I Am Just Not Very Strong.
I Know There Were Quite a Few,
That Were Helped Because I Was There.
For this I Thank God Every Day,
I

Janet
She's a Tough Girl and looks it, yeah
Hands quick to clench into fists, tongue like a blade.
Chainsmokes and drinks when she cuts school,
Which is often.
Half her friends pregnant, or worse
Before they can drive;
She doesn't expect to turn out any different.
God alone knows what goes on at home,
And He's keeping that to Himself.
Yeah, she's a tough
