She Was Anne

and she wrote dreams
upon pages;
the kind that roam around your mind
but are always held deep
inside your chest;
and she heaved
under the weight of tears
left uncried

Love, Devotion and Other Memories
I
Between Juliet and me
Devotion thrived . . .
We stayed all day and all night
In dark, hidden places, picking watercress for the moon
Together we lived, Juliet and I,
Among worm woods
Friendly gardens
Doing silly things,
Avoiding the city’s hastiness,
Befriending...

The Streets of Olde Salem

as through the streets of Salem I walked.

with only a cat sitting quietly on a cold granite sill,
the sky slowly turning...

Crack House of the 13 Gables

a new part,
an old part
and an antique part.
Gables and pediments facing all directions of the compass
Tie all the parts together.
There are some concave outside walls;
There are some convex...

Our House
Empty halls
staircase silent
without a painting or portrait
To enliven the solitary walls
A house without occupant
Voices not heard
Gables and pointed peaks
not welcome for any lonesome bird
It was built from long ago hands
Several generation before
Antiquated WELCOME ALL YE...

The Paw-Trod Path
Along the paw-trod path
Narrow and dainty through the gorse
Where yellow flowers
Lie dim like fallen stars in the mist
Comes a silent visitor, hesitant
It licks its lips
A taste like vinegar
Humans of old and long ago
Their lonely essence...

Elvin Allen - 1889-1905
Elvin Allen
1889 – 1905
They were like iron trees!
Hundreds of them!
Poking and piercing their way into the sun-lit sky,
Like moist fingers
Testing the wind direction to the east.
I was born into this Quaker town on Bright Street.

Powder Keg
To see one is rare but to buy one is obscene.
A tall snob. She casts frowns from under her gables.

Dusting and throwing out boxes without labels.

In the Sky Suspended
My mansion is white and splendid,
it is three stories and has red shingles;
so beautiful- in the sky suspended.
With flower boxes and colors blended,
and round windows on the many gables;
my mansion is white and...

Finding Beauty In Life
I find beauty in the unkempt places ~~
Sticky beehives with perfectly formed combs,
A child's playground sea of dirty faces,
An overgrown garden with ugly gnomes,
Sagging gables of long-deserted homes.
I look for more than people likely see...
