The Clock
The clock
Tick, tock , tick, tock,
The clock bellowed resounding through my mind, like so many wood peckers drilling into a tree.

It began tick, tick, ticking away
The very day...

Onomato-pea-a
I’m Onomato-pea-a
The window is my home.
I love the sounds of cooking
At day, at dusk, and dawn.
Mom clomps into the room
And clicks on every light
The curtain whooshes open,
I wake up, “No more night!”
Drawers squeak, cabinets creak
Bread...

You'Re Worth It
Sometimes we want
to grow up fast.
Others we want our youth to
last.
Sometimes we want to change
the past.
Others we want to leave it
alone because it was such a
blast.

Borrow
I went to my neighbors
To ask for a favor
And said may I borrow
Stuff I need tomorrow,
But she stopped me short
With this stunning retort:
“Do you need sugar cane
Drano for a clogged drain
Or perhaps some flour
Or did...

I Relish Sparring Repartee of Clever Quips
I relish sparring repartee of clever quips...
Particularly, when voicing and/or

rumbled stilled skin,

among sleepers awake,
where mine inside belly

Lizabeth's Henry Is Down and Gone Part I

And I have lost more than a diamond, or
That special piece of wood, I once looked for,
My hands embrace my head, my hair is wild,

Tin Woman
Of all things sentimental.
She came through the door wearing a suit of armor.
The door closed behind her with a rattle and tick of swaying arms.
With rust around her eyes she longed to be melted down.

Hyah, the Whirly Twirly Girl

Her hair was a gorgeous chestnut color, with touches of gold which enhanced her beauty and swiftly...

Red Step In the Blitz

Drones abound the London sky
Search lights stray and flick to something and nothing

When You'Re Away
My love,
It is midnight and I lay alone.
It will be a while before we see each other again,
Or even speak.
I went for a drive tonight, like we often do,
Except this time I was alone.

The Devil's Depth
The Devil’s Depth
A box without hinges, key or lid
yet gloomy treasure inside is hid.
Unseen, Unheard
It lurks within.
Chained now, when unleashed
Does a sin with a grin.
Its wrath none can escape
It gives life, a death shape.

In the Moment
Luke Dailey
December 25, 2014

The Lunatic has struck his luck
By waiting like a sitting duck
He found his “Stomach-tuck”

Or is it his final noose?
Everything is going round
But where is it...

Lil Expensive Box
Woken up angry
Discontent
Woke up on the wrong side of bed
Couldn’t find the lil expensive box

So angry I couldn’t find it
So angry it wasn’t around
