Ode to the Voice I Never Wanted to Hear

Who call you up without a care,
With offers they believe are clever,
But really just provoke despair.
They call with grand insurance plans,
Covid kits and credit ...

Juggling juicy jiggling Jello
Kibitzing kits and cats
Laboriously languishing lightly
Making marvelous maneuvers in word play...

The Glass Eye
...You stood there unsteadily
at my bedroom door,
holding your glass eye
in your palsied hand and asked me
if I’d ever seen one before.

Two Lifestyles
...I saw a groundhog waddle out
From underneath the shed.
I guess that is the place he’s chosen
Where to lay his head.
I’m not too thrilled that he is there,
Though he won’t bother me.
When we a...

The Missing Collar
...The sun does arise,
On the valley sweet,
The birds & pups wise,
Call our kits to meet.
The hoots & hollers,

Sailing Towards Romblon
...Eagerly we wait,-
As early as the sun mount,-
At the harbor’s plank.
After a short while…
We heard the Ferry’s hail
And shouted us, to come up!-
With our kits and bags!
While on the ship...

I REMEMBER my yesteryears

Candles & nightlights
flickering bright
blackout curtains
shutting out light
Dripping setting
from Sunday's roast

Forests At Nighfall

Forests at nightfall are scary to see;
not just dark forms- but loud sounds flowing free.
Far from at home, with cute puppy's bow-wow;
or from your kitten's sweet, gentle meo...

Silver Threads

It used to be that silver threads
amidst the former hairs of gold
were felt by everyone to be
a certain sign that we were old.
