Premium Member maybe it doesn't matter

     too young for Woodstock
     too old for Barbie dolls
     I wore blue denim bell-bottoms
     sometimes flowers in my hair
     she arrived with summer wind
     my friend Squeek 
     wild one exuding sensuality 
     as easy as breathing
     making testosterone go crazy
     she ran with bad boys
     let me tag-a-long
     one brief friendship then
     she was gone 
     vanished like summer sun
     what did she see in me
     the dumpy ugly fat girl
     maybe she was dream 
     maybe she was lesson
     maybe it doesn't matter
     fifty years later I'm still groovy
     damned near perfect
     I think about her and wonder


The Red Hair Girl At the Houston Station

The pretty red hair girl
at the Houston Station
gave me heart palpitation,
but she got all my revered admiration...
because she resembled a Barbie doll;
and I became so emotional!  

Across the platform
two green eyes smiled;
was it fate or coincidence?
I turned into a maniac without a norm, 
or control, I waved at her twice
and spoke too loud;
I didn't notice the skinny cop named Bob
had a look not so preppy, 
he surely was kind of creepy
and said, " Stand still, show me your id! "
I froze trying to find 
an excuse to avoid
a summons for harassment or disturbance,
" Ok, Fred...you told me the truth, I assume!"

The red hair girl at the Houston Station
could have gotten me in serious trouble,
I slickly got out of it 
with a silly lie bursting a big bubble;
sadly, I lost a good chance 
at an unexpected romance!
Every afternoon I stand at the exact spot
waiting for her apparition,
not trusting my admonition...
feeling the intense pain of a deluded heart!

Without a hint of her name,
there's little I can do;
will we meet again
at the Houston Station?
Neither of us is to blame,
we'll be feeling so blue!

Premium Member Homesick Stardust

confess to me , O cupid prince , lost cause ~
bowing before eve's bare butterflies,
as tonight i confront your kiss,
heartbeat of harvested heat,
pulsing moon magnifique ~
where we wake within
the wrinkled wish of
burgundy
blushed bliss ~
drenched
with
drizzling
damask dreams
of sea-swept hours;
let the lace of want
weep wilderness in the
rise of lonely nadir where,
I beseech the sun to undress
the stars and twirl with satanic sighs…

if I am your refrain, let my name burn
dear, aphrodisiac tears of sunset ~
see how I break, 'neath neon nimbus,
hold me close in sultry sirens ,
 tempt me… tame these twilight tints 
tantalise me… once more

until the honest
halcyon of life
weeps wayward
with the
hush
of
unhealed
hoax , amidst
hurt homesickness…

tortured by the taste
of your touch, locked in love ~
I ache with parched lips of pink…
the soul of barbie stardust ~
as this petal,  a l o n e  , mourns those musks
drenched in 
     au revoir rain of last rose dusks…

Premium Member Trusting No One

All the family photos are gone.
I wish I had made copies for others.
They would be in their houses, safe, and they would share.
But I was on such a budget.  Grandmas offered to pay for them, but still.
I was too proud.

All the furniture is ruined. The lawn is littered with wrappers and cups.
Water got the furniture. Spectators who pulled up in cars to watch left their litter.
The walls are not quite black, yet much darker than gray. Some are gone, others are
Half gone, but in jiggly piggly points at the top as the fire decided to travel.
What is left is mostly plastic, a Barbie doll with singed off hair, a coffee container.

I search frantically through this soggy boggy water-logged hovel for something I care to keep.
Yes, I was lucky no one was home. No, I do not know if the fire was set. Yes, I have insurance.
Not enough, but I will keep that to myself. 
Can we help?
How?
Who else knows what I am looking for?
I do not even know what I am looking for!

I would like to have salvaged a few things.  My couch was fairly new, but it is destroyed.
My aunt said she could send a crew in. I cannot pay them, and insurance takes so long.
I do not need a damaged credit rating too. I can barely write a check at the grocery store now.
Besides, I have been burned by insurance companies before.

Trusting no one, I begin to pick through the debris that was once my home, hoping as I search.

Premium Member From The Workshop Collection-Good Knight Jen

I almost cry when  

Entering the mourning den  

You Jen  

My dear departing childhood friend  

Would send  

Romantic sensations  

Make my pumping special heart racing  

Before facing  

Reality at large  

Sailing along, working the pensionary barge  

Sweating in the hot sun  

Until the laboring is done  

We meet for fun  

Then 

Jen  

Acting like, Barbie and Ken  

Fences never needed to be mend  

Due to our royal trust  

Shiny strong, never a rust  

That could go bust  

Promises our blood made  

Prologue to the evil’s invade 

Pretending to trade  

Suddenly someone screamed, ‘raid’ 

While we picked up our grades  

Dear Lord, we prayed  

What did both of us know  

During a time of maturing and grow  

Until it was time to go  

Investing in the University system  

And their four-year mission  

Studying where our skills are  

Passing the academic bar  

Checking the midnight diner plates  

Life was challenging and great  

But I failed to defend  

Jen 

My lifelong friend   

Now  

You are dolled up, for the eternal bow  

Everyone grumbles and growls  

Saying goodbye  

As you lie  

In the den  

When  

We were truly Barbie and Ken  

Wearing innocent clothes  

Not having any foes  

Until today  

Our enemies will pay  

For what they did  

Sending you to an early crypt  

Next time different things will be  

If warned, ‘coming land or sea’ 

We will believe  

Freedom will ring  

Allowing everyone to sing  

Show God our relationship bling  

And the commitment ring   

Reminding the judge, we will always be Queen and King  

Of the Monarch, I rule  

Despite uncontrollable events that are ever so cruel

Created Magic Wands

My factory would make magic wands
That helps sick children
And make their dreams come true
My magic wand would replace
A child’s missing limp
So if she wanted to 
Become a ballerina or
He wanted to be a
Basketball player it would 
Magically happen
My magic wand would also protect
Them from being abused
And shielded from harm
Keeping child murderers away
My magic wand would whisked
Them far, far away to a special planet
Where they can just be kids 
Having  fun and being happy
Not having a care in the world
Where they can eat giant snow corns and
All the ice cream in the world, different flavors 
Ride around on Large bubbles
And watch the beauty of the sky
With a variety of bright colors
That shoots out
Talking monster trucks and
Barbie dolls that walks by themselves

Premium Member Santas Village

Santa’s village was on the edge of reconstruction and renovation.
the elves were excited, they held a parade and massive celebration.
Electronics, cell phones and I-pads are sought by children of today.
The workshop was full of antiquated equipment to toss away.

No one wanted wooden blocks or dolls that talk or wiggle.
They still had a filing cabinet of Barbie dolls that had a giggle.
Super hero items are now the absolute must-have rage.
They needed to delete obsolete toys that never reached a finished stage.

Santa’s reindeers were dancing around all joyful too.
They were on permanent break, for deliveries now came through Lou.
Lou was the head elf, and a big proponent of Amazon Prime.
So the reindeers could lay around and dine, all of the time.

Premium Member A Child of Ten

Life was so carefree for me as a child, way back when
I was just a little girl who loved to dream and pretend
that I would grow up to be a doctor's nurse and mend
those who were hurt and sick. Their needs I would tend.

Way back then when I was ten, my world was small.
Dad was the man in my life. In my eyes he stood tall.
Working on our farm didn't seem like work at all
and when dinner was ready, we'd hear Mom's call.

My siblings and I had pets, but Bandi was my favorite one.
He'd wag his tail and run with me when my work was done.
He was a hunter and cocked his ears when Dad got the gun.
Way back then when I was ten, my life was filled with fun.

We didn't have a car, but on a farm we needed a truck.
When I honked the horn it made the silly chickens cluck.
It came in handy hauling our vegetables to earn a buck.
We sat in the flatbed when Dad said, "Corn to shuck."

I was a bit of a tom boy, never wanted to play with a doll.
My sister asked Santa for Barbie; my brother- a basketball.
All I wanted was a horse, but Mom was afraid I'd take a fall.
I heard a whinny in the morn; the tom boy began to bawl.

What few worries I had at ten, when life was so simplistic.
Too old to need a babysitter; too young to think of lipstick.
I chased lightning bugs at night, taught Bandi his new trick.
Those small parts of growing up are good memories that stick.

The Barbie Breakdown

The older sister didn’t like the younger 
always treating her bad
when the younger was first born 
it really drove her mad
when they were children 
the older lost her sister friends 
bullied and treated her rough 
and she did it to no end

growing up the older a barbie girl 
she always got the men 
the younger second in the world
time and time again

the older one still nasty cruel 
had always been the way
never thought her sibling tool
would better her one day
but the younger sister was no tool
she was sweet and beautiful 
had a group of friends from school 
whilst the older had none at all
but men all chased her 
she could pick and choose
never treated the younger better
as the younger would always lose 

Having lost the younger friends 
The older went for it again 
fancied her sisters sexy friend 
and she always gets the men 
but this WAS her sisters friend 
a friend immune to the trend
and he knew of her nasty past
didn’t like how she treated 
finally the older was past up at last 
for the first time ever defeated 

if you bully his friend 
he’ll never get with you
and he gave his friend 
the victory she never knew

The older sister had a nervous breakdown
and the friend has been kicked out now

For the Love of Dogs

for the love of dogs

Over the bay a rainbow dripping colors
into turquoise water, nothing can be that beautiful 
if there is no prize to pay without the  horror 
of a gruesome sight.
A terrible smell from the flat below that was odd
they went on holiday to Greece and left the dog alone
in the flat with water in a dish and biscuits
not to forget some toys.
It took days before someone broke down the door 
and set the dog free from its hot sticky hell 
Some people do not have the capacity to understand 
a dog is a loved member of the family.
If this is not possible, get a Barbie doll.
