4 Am Dream

Loss in indigo darkness
	distress coursing through my being
shattered images flowing changing
	confusion not understanding what was seen

blueberry muffins sticky and hot
	one dozen found and one dozen lost
seeking in freezers cluttered and cold
	perpetrator missing unable to find

Angels are watching with distressing concern
	some trying to save and some trying to condemn
sharp points of doctrine tempered by love
	intervention desired seeking to save

opening my eyes into gray gloom
	smart clock has no answers only the time
not understanding laying awake
	dawn is long coming wanting to sleep

memories disturbing keeping sleep at bay
	guilty parties known becoming unknown
somehow are morphing in flowing change
	the guilty are changing in monstrous ways

closing my eyes and seeking relief
	wishing the dream would just fade away
accusing accusations of violating innocence
	abusing another to seek personal gain

oh what is it that lurks in dark of night
	twisting the darkness into half remembered dreams
is it external or part of me
	feasting on fears in dark of night

opening drawers and within them searching
	for missing muffins somehow astray
wondering why who stole them away
	perhaps already consuming forever lost away

time slowly passing and staring at the walls
	clock has no answers but I have not sought
perhaps there is wisdom in its artificial ways
	casting aside all hope of the night

rising up in dark of night
	running away from dreams that I had
seeking the light to be found elsewhere
	as dreams shatter and then fade away

Premium Member The Ice Swan Lands

The Bride under the left wing; The groom under the right
The Ice Swan , landing on the lake in the Early Morning Night

Her feathers , intricately patterned in a Moment of LOVE Forever the thinnest chisel
Curves her neck,  to the kiss of her beak upon the LOVING Bride and Groom

The Lily pads  need a circumference scratchier to be polished ; For Love’s Landing
The cold and numbness from the freezers melts from me; with their happy Smiling 
Hearts

After the “I DO’s”  They each thank me for my thirty hours of an ice block work of art
Thank-YOU and may YOUR Life Together be Forever ( I also made this Swan in an 
Aspic Salad

                Inspired by Nette Onclaud  for Her Contest “ Anything Handmade “
                    Dedicated to the Posners for their Seventy-fifth Anniversary

  Author’s Note I was in Hospital when Contest was Finalized so this was not

Clean Your Refrigerator Day

Is today and it makes me wonder
why this happens only once each year.

I looked inside mine
for something a year old,

and found a few things I couldn’t recognize
in jars behind my wife’s peanut butter,

but nothing had lost its color,
and no foul odors assaulted me.

You can tell a lot about a person
by looking in their refrigerator.

People who enjoy cooking tend to have leftovers.
Single people tend to have nothing,

or maybe a few condiments and drinks.
My new oversized jar of green olives

now sits on the bottom shelf,
because my friend helped me conquer its stubborn lid

just yesterday. They will marinate further,
but be consumed over the next three months.

As we get older, we lose track
of what’s behind the almond milk,

until its odor tells us it’s there,
or mold hides its color.

This morning, I’ll take time to inventory
each item to support this special day, 

in hopes that nobody has thought to make 
a similar day for cleaning freezers.

Hard Times?

The kids are in bed, there's dishes to do
Washing, ironing, paperwork too,
Children, office, housework, sometimes I find life hard
But it isn't really, not when it's compared
To my mum's, who rose up early and was never late
Lighting the coal fire that was sitting in the grate,
She then cooked breakfast on a range,
Haaven't things for me now changed.

Over the range for hours mum would slave
Cooking meals, wheras I have a microwave
And a vacuum to clean this house of mine
Mum used to beat rugs on her washing line.

I have central heating to keep the house warm
For my waking up by electric alarm
Straight into the bathroom to have a shower
With instant hot water, mum had to wait hours
For the water to boil, for her dolly tub
With its mangle, her weeks washing to scrub,
A washing machine daily, washes my clothes
What I'd do without it, heaven knows.

And only a larder and pantry had mum
No fridges, or freezers with meals ready done
Between rudding steps and range black leading,
She would always make time, for games and for reading,
My children son't bother to go out to play
They stay in their rooms, on computers all day,
I guess each generation has its 'hard times'
I suppose at the moment, this must be mine,
But, on reflection of the life my mum had
I call myself lucky, my 'hard time's' not so bad!

Premium Member A Brain Freezer

Two days have gone by and no new poems
What's happening to this silly old geezer
Am I having one of those damn writer's blocks
Those famous deadly brain freezers

Surely there's a bunch more stuff inside
It just isn't making itself known
Usually I'm a very patient old son of a gun
Hope this old mind hasn't blown

All those poems I had stored up for months
Getting near the end of the pile
Kinda frightened like a little kid, I am
My reputation's gonna be defiled

Think I'll lie down for a couple of days
To let my old bean-o recharge
Then I'll be back to my prolific old self
Sure feel like an absolute retard

They say it can happen to the best of us guys
Thought I was above all that stuff
So much for that “holier that thou” attitude
You guy's have seen through my bluff

Premium Member Ice Cream

There are so many things in life that give me so much pleasure,
Family, friends and fishing all of which I treasure.
But having my ice cream fix, ah, I'm the happiest guy on earth.
Never mind that such ecstasy adds to my ever-expanding girth!

My spouse closely monitors the types of foods that I consume,
Concerned that cholesterol will bring about my early doom!
So surreptitiously I sneak about for my ice cream ration,
Fearful of getting caught and causing untold consternation!

I fondly recall as a lad the ice cream socials that we had,
When friends and neighbors got together with my Mom and Dad.
Bringing their favorite ice creams to mix in hand-cranked freezers.
Ah! Such delectable concoctions prepared by those old geezers!

A hot fudge sundae is a treat that I really savor,
Or a thick shake made with real ice cream of any flavor,
And every chance that I get I sneak a luscious banana split.
Am I concerned about those calories? Not one little whit!

Some folks relish sherbet, but I think that is sissy stuff.
They can have my share of that, but of ice cream I can't get enough!
When I cease to function you can etch upon my stone this theme:
"Nothing could make his eyes gleam like a bowl of ice cream!"

With instant hot water, mum had to wait hours
For the water to boil in her dolly tub
With its mangle, her weeks washing to scrub

Premium Member Who'll take up their Liberty's

Liberty and freedom...The American way
Crewcuts and scuttl-butt..Who knows the
Truth today.? Apple pies were stacked in
The freezers deep, the ship was crewed, by many
Beleivers.' A few mature officers, and fresh
College leavers.' The flag was up the wind was strong, how and why.? Could things go
Wrong.? So many deaths.' And to what avail.? For a full twenty five minutes they were assailed, fighter jets that just did not
See? the cut her jib.' Oe'r the rippling sea..
Isreal spoke of sighting errors..There 
are
Reports of (mirage jets?) Did the French add some terror.? Last of all the torpedo boats, unleashing their fish..
To dire impacts i note.' Just a few survivors..Or humans second class.? There was compesation? and 
consternation, then time moved fast'
But there's a shipload of radishes for all
 to digest
If it docks.? With proofed documentation?
Not just eywitness accounting.' And 
historys records, under current light,
 and its
Type of cast.? I see Thomas Massie 
is raking the ashes, i think of two towers falling dead straight down.?
 Victims jumping in those horrible
 crashes .' Its all almost distracting.? In
Its very scope..Yet I say God bless America the
Land of Liberty and hope.' A place that once threw its shackles away.' It started on
A ship.. In Boston i hear say.? Owned by some bankers..Of some type of fame? Or could it be infamy..Now whats in a name?

Premium Member Barber Chop Quartet

That long empty shop where they used to cut hair
Where all that remains is an old barber’s chair
The creak of the hinges might give you a scare
Should you care to recall what they say occurred there

The power’s been cut which he didn’t know
The candle he found gave a dull feeble glow
There must be a draught for a sound from below
Sounded so much like a voice saying Go

The keys he’d picked up from the real estate feller
Did not include one that would unlock the cellar
So just for the hell of it he turned the handle
The draught spoke again and it blew out the candle

Outside a car passed the open front door
It’s lights caused a glint on the dust covered floor
In the dust was a key and he got quite a shock
When the power came on and the key’s in the lock

The front door slammed shut which at least stopped the draught
But the cellar door opened… and somebody laughed
So with his pulse racing he made his way down
Was he mad to open in Olde London Town

He glared at the sight of four wide open freezers
Each packed with the remnants of dismembered geezers
Were his friends having a Halloween laugh
Or was that them chopped up in that old tin bath

Those stories weren't true but made up for a lark
And yet he still froze when the whole place went dark 
There’s no way that this shop was once Sweeny Todd’s
But a voice in the dark chuckled… ‘What are the odds?’
