Long Carrot on a stick Poems

I am a singular event 
Occupying a particular span of time. 
I am a concrete mystic 
And an incurable skeptic 
Seeking an approximation 
Of peace and domestic tranquility. 
I am a Slavic soul brother

How is a rainbow formed?
Can you explain where the colors come from? Why they fade away?
Next time the rain brings one into view, won’t you pull it from the sky for me?
Travel to the moon...

had been chasing the doughnut on
the coffee shop counter…zooming
along fresh & tied to a piece of
fishing line…the carrot on the stick…
the crumbs from the table…the

moved around so fast
outran traces of my past
contacts I'd amassed
with little hesitation
lost sight of situation

not stabilizing
life without compromising

Maybe, just maybe, upon your return
We can travel across the blue, cold ocean
Where the salt compliments the sunset at the edge
With the pearl from the oyster and grain of sand
Perhaps then we can climb to...

I am a teacher

Eager beaver

Full of beans

I build bridges

And burn the candle at both ends

I am a teacher

Cap in hand

Full of the milk of human kindness

I fight tooth and nail

-The King's Dead-

Suddenly, I see. Chicken pox, is full of bandwagons.

Not the biggest reach for a climb to mount Everest.

GRAIL

each has their own prize
tucked away in a wish
deep in the inscrutable heart,
it rises from time to time
like a treasure only seen
by the eyes of innocents.

to remind that there is more 
than...

A giraffe approached
We necked

An elephant met me on the jungle path
I stored many thoughts in his trunk

A monkey smiles at me
Now I have no more bananas

A zebra wants to discuss the issues of life
I replied,...

My hubby is a workaholic,
he's addicted to his job
He loves to put in a lot of overtime,
tacked on to his normal 9 to 9
Working double shifts, 
come holidays he never miss
He loves to stay late,
vacations...

Walk before me now,
    keeping my commands,
    my statutes and my rules:
    your throne shall be forever.

But if you turn aside,

*Basilisk's Support Group*


On the train to nowhere. 

Tracks leading to the end, of another bottle.

Down goes the soupeur, knowing where the express leads thee.

Remaining complacent in a steady, off the rails attitude fills the gaping...
