"I Knew Anne Silently - My Ravenous Poe" 

I knew Anne.
you’d think 
with a name like hers
she’d be able to find her way 
out of unchartered waters.

it didn’t come as a suprise, 
then, on...

Death...death...like a cold, distant fog
it looms over these beings
these frail human beings, myself included
attacking their defenseless, quarrelsome - filled minds
like ravenous carnivores sprinting upon their prey
I've counted three, thrice has death sent for the reaper
to...

To escape world’s relentless strain,
From life’s cycle, to epic refrain,
Wander with Homer’s visionary eye,
Where Sappho’s verses lie.

Packed his bags and left the earth,
Seven mountains, four seasons he’d chart,
Poseidon’s wrath...

Zotëri Count Dracula
is a terrible, Transylvanian host
Mister Tarantula Fangs serves watered down pâté:
Fermented, sour liver compost

I know, 
because my Planet Terror peep Tarantino
said so

Vladdie’s batty bandë
campy lip sync way too much on the fly
Playing air...

Annabelle Albatross’s amazing aquatics astound audiences at Atlantic airshows.

Bill Beaver’s barrel-rolling barely bumps bobbing buoys.

Crustaceans crowd cramped coves.  Charlie Crab cowers, camouflaged creatively.

The Raven King

The raven-king flew down corridors, golden halls
malice and human words in its most grievous calls
heartaches, greater than any Shakespearean play
not man's weakness, his devilishly wicked ways.

Glaring glitter that blinds in life, forever stays.
Sorrows...

Transcending from the darkest hour:
That dark empty space of my mind;
A ghost in a shell: Annabelle... 
I was conjutured up by pain!
A doll: Knowing I was used for the mysteries!
A lamb: with no master; had...

Riveting Thread

Riveting 
designs of antiquitity
Recovered ruins of the distant past 
Mix and match with modern taste
Adaptations and variations  
Cropped tops
High waisted pants 

Shoulder pads
Corsets
Tie dye tee shirts
And acid jeans

Fringe Flapper strings and beads 
Sequins...

That I can remember the names of my pets

The one over there I believe might be Harry
Tiddles and Wriggles and Bruno...

In an urban street I met a girl 
her name was Annabelle, 
she was alone a jolly soul 
with a happy tale to tell. 
She stood so tall 
a precious pearl 
with a hat of...

 To breathe her light
 She had to be her own addiction
 She has control over...

Why aren't you here?
I kiss the phone goodnight.
I cannot yet begin to speak, 
Because my world is not yet right.

Only when I can see you, behold you once again.
Only when I can finally give you...

The church ladies had a head committee that met at tables.
They started out at houses – Lee’s, Annabelle and Mable’s.
But eventually they returned to the church to snip and chat.
The young minister ran past them...

My neighbor wants to see her photo,
But I do not let her peek as it develops,

Geology and biology are both to me
Confusing studies that are more than weirdly wee
artistic sands of the beach by the sea
speaks to thee, and speaks to me

I like astrology, darling, hungry chickadee
it makes me feel...
