[Continued from ‘Terror Bugs: Part 4 - A Freezer Mice Adventure’]

A water cannon screeched around the corner on two wheels
Four and twenty Terror Bugs were nipping at its heels
Their acid blistered paint work but it...

Half a dozen girls, at least, were on my list of ‘maybes’, as I was on the prowl to find a date for junior prom,
When I was coaxed to think about a girl who lived...

Date:  April  2051

The celebration ended. The room
Empty all relatives was preparing 
For their final time in Hawaii. Dolly 
And Damian lay in bed conversing.
Her hand was on his chest, "I love
When the Hakim...

At the final stroking of saint Halloween eve, it seems not so long ago,
That my trusty SUV, transport vehicle unceremoniously broke down,
Right outside the local pet cemetery, what a marvelous place to
Spend the spookiest night...

"50 Words for Poe: Baskervilles"
 

 
Baskervilles 
was loping over graves 
digging dirt for bones 
sniffing evidence of dead souls
counting tomes 
it flayed time & bled the gut 
of it’s own black soul
ate it inside...

Upon Googling Petco
regarding purchasing gift card
for eldest daughter
(she tends two beautiful female felines)
Petsmart website appeared right and center

I told them “don’t they importunate.”
“I texted you already”
I miss you every day.
Will tell you I need to do something
Once upon a time in a faraway mountain
Speaking in a...

I can run and jump all day

I also love chocolate bics
Yummy! They are so good 
I would eat a packet a...

Manu strolled to his stainless sink
To wash his hands and have a think.

He reached for soap, a bar was handy,
A square pink cake that looked like candy.
He ran the water, fresh and cool,
And in his...

Ever since I can remember
it was love at first sight
I'd put pinup on my bedroom wall
and dream about them every night.

I'd draw pictures in my school books
and drooled when I saw one on TV
They looked...

Where did the quality of 
life go?
We were on bicycles,
jumping rope, eating popsicles.
Who cared about dirt?

We threw our body into
pools with nary a care.
The elderly with canes, just
harrumphed and gave us
watery, cataract stares.

With nary a...

he was there just like before 
my mind wandered
as he gazed 
out the window 

as traffic approached 
he opened his jacket 
retrieving a pack of cigarettes 
Winston's his favorite brand 

he would tap the butt...

WHOLE AGAIN

While young on the ladder of growth,

I boarded a similar covenant ship;

Having summoned the great Teacher,

And sworn a thick fealty – hinged on

An immutable decision to pave way

For a diminutive obstruction route to glory.

I met friends at ten o'clock for our rendezvous
so we could attend a Halloween party at the zoo.
What weird costumes and sights came into view!
Three wrinkled witches were stirring a bubbly brew.
One of them offered...

To Hellie's credit, she had rightly judged...
for, all told- the young man was quite shady
so from her guard-post she would not be budged
for she was most loyal to her lady

And when he cooed and whined...

So many CHRISTIANS died inhumanely.
In innocence in churches or having Easter lunches.
God, welcomed so many home in an instant.

360 died in one day.
345  Christians are killed each month, but that's a deep secret and who cares?why don't...

Sassy the Assassinator

Sassy is a lapdog, not a large bird-dog  
She likes to chase hopping bullfrogs or a hiding hedgehog.
She is a friend to a cat, but not to a groundhog
But she thinks she’s...

He adored her. His blubbery lips
drooled at the sight of his love.
Her beauty seared his mind
a fiery arousal beat upon
the slopes
of his low, low brow.

He was quite the beast of a man -
a galoot, the...

Running on cliff edges cranked her adrenalin 
Stagger of gravels' release, tipped in avalanche
Scared her terrifically, able to surrendour then 
Driven to dare's taunt irresistible, emancipated

Victims of her craft came willingly to her dim den
Always...

~ I Remember All The Days,

Eight Times, 

The Cradle, 

Rocked Away,

All The Nights,

We Slept On,

Cold Floors,

Eight Pairs,

Of Bare Feet,

Good Morning,

Dirty Dishes,

We Had Nothing,

To Eat,

Flipped A Switch,

No Lights,

Were There,

One Brush, 

For Tangled Hair,

Baths Were Scarce,

Three At...

A WALK IN THE DARK

The cold wind stung my ego
As my feet darted down the corridor of nowhere
The bitter push whipped through my skin
I slithered through the arrogant open gate
I elbowed my way into the...

and when she entered the casino floor her blonde hair said,

He discovered
how to connect and merge,
or such discovered him.

His five senses did not become six,
but a number closer to one.

It came upon him,
that he was one with everything,
all that his mind and eyes perceived,
be they...
