Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along...

as his stronghold diminishes.

when...

The mountain, it was steep.
The snow was very deep.
Caused involuntary “ahs”
from anyone who saw.

To get up to the top
was not some little hop.
It took tram, chair and poma
to tackle that big momma.

Devil In My Kitchen



Eyes wide open staring at the ceiling

Body aching, heart breaking

The voice in my head 

Is telling me to stay in bed



First on my knees, thanking you

For another day light

Lord please strengthen me...

Painted ladies 
Platform boots 
Mini skirts 
Stockings, garter belts 

Low slung Vs 
Bubbling over with mottled mummeries 
Hanging around Butcher’s Corner 
On the hook 

The pray orbit 
Slowing down, speeding up 
Slow…gone 
Around a corner,...

Where do we began
Since this is beginning
How does it end
To show it's meaning
What to write
To convey my frustration
I like the chorus
But it sounds like

Put sum ooh ahs in
A harmonic melody
Some strings and
Bassy grooves
Let the...

An imaginative world is what your storytelling formed.
I was just three years old when you begin my learning.
Innateness developed and a destiny manifested;
although mom, you stated you were not highly intelligent.

Oh, your whims and your...

no matter where you are on earth.

We don't need to think we are supreme 
beings because we have snowfall.
Nor...

They certainly will not accept them for
An anthology, and that is a bore!
   
People write tiddley poems,
A couple of lines or Haiku
Expecting us...

We used to go shopping, you and I.
Dressing room privacy, Mom corner-facing
Then turn, you turn, front and back,
A view from every side.
Ooos  and ahs . . .
So pretty, Mom’s pretty daughter.
What fun we had,...

Ignite my curiosity of what I will see.
Seeing the flame float in the darkness,
Then the fizzle begins my mind races.
Suddenly the sound displaces silence.
Streaking upward the flames extinguish.
Until the...

“A poet’s pestilence – dash off from him away!
He is sickness and, because of this,
you, crazy, bring on home the plague
but you don’t know the verse bacillus is. 

He’s garrulous, a tawdry trouble-maker,
plays rattle in...

To heal my tortured soul.

For something to make me whole.
