Tore


Sat on a phone, waiting for love.
Got her number on speed dial, but love is not enough.
Spoke to her just yesterday, but that is history.
Need to speak with her everyday to satisfy my need.


Loving her is easy, but I am never freed.
Hypnotised by killer lines.  Meet her in my dreams.
Actually managed to tell her, 
She’s my kind of drug.
Picture me with somebody married.
We are us.


Want to tour her state-of-the-art mind.
What’s mine is mine and what’s hers is mine,
Because I give her all I have.
Don’t need possessions, just lessons, in laugh.


If we last another year I guess that makes us two.
I need to breathe her into my life.
I only write for you.


Ignore the chatter, that does not matter.
Fall madly for me like a crazy hatter,
And I will follow your rabbit wherever it may go.
In your life I find a wonderland that I can’t leave alone.

Premium Member BEWARE THE CHESHIRE CAT

Beware the Cheshire cat 
whose advice is here or there
and says there are just two paths - 
again I say beware.
Carroll had it right 
as he wrote behind that grin:
Alice could also stay put 
or go back to her begin.
She ate the cake to grow big 
and drank potion to be small,
yet there was always the third way -
not to eat or drink at all.
Beyond the looking glass 
and down the rabbit hole,
a heartless queen asks questions -
any answer and heads roll.
Watch out for false dichotomy 
and the choice that does not matter
or you’ll be writing on a raven's desk 
to answer the Mad Hatter.

(07/2023) See Chapter 6 of ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll.

Premium Member Norm, Nate, and Hank Williams

This is the story of Norm and Nate, 
And Hank Williams, the great balladeer,  
And what was to be their horrible fate 
As they spun on this rotating sphere.

Nate the needle played hits on a platter, 
Spinning the sad songs Norm had made him.
Norm, as they’d say, was mad as a hatter,
But Nate the needle meekly obeyed him.

In a circle, the platter would revolve   
As Nate would sing sad sounds he found there,
While Norm, crying bitter tears, would dissolve,
As Hank’s words and voice, he couldn’t bear.

Hank’s million-dollar voice came from on high,
But the Lord gave him a 10-cent head.
He wrote the song, “So Lonesome I Could Cry” 
Lamenting leaves that would soon be dead. 

On New Year’s, ‘53, Hank Williams died;
Norm could play only that song and not move.
Hank saw the light, while Norm cried and cried,
And Nate was buried in a watery groove.

please lemme know and honestly profess

Gnome hatter intent toward

   levity, the inevitable

Fool With a Pen

First off my friend
Let me begin
By saying I ain't no poet
Just a fool with a pen

Now with those pleasantries
Out of the way
Let me proceed to say
What I need to say

I've written different poems
On different subjects, different matters
Some soft as a kitten
Others mad as a hatter

Every now and then
I stand on the serious ledge
But more often than not
I fall right off of the edge

Like I said before
I'm just a fool with a pen
Drooling from my smile
Cross eyed in my grin

Separating in rhyme
All the boys from the men
Cackling in crazy
From the beginning to the end

Thanking my lucky stars
Rhyming comes so easy
Like a trip to Venus or Mars
Half baked brain and over queasy

Like I said before
When all of this began
I really ain't no poet
Just a fool with a pen


Premium Member The Frankenstein Tea Party

His booming laugh made the tea cups rattle,
As he enjoyed his bubbly tea, his friends rat and mouse came round to the house
To join their friend for tea 

They all wore masks to protect each other 
No sickness between them would come
He was no mad hatter but he knew what mattered
So sanitiser he used, he tried hard not to cough
As he slowly rocked to make his friends their tea

He put in bags and sugar drops too, waiting for water to bubble
In a moment, he walked to where they sat, a tray of treats in his hands
He moved kind of slow, as bolts kept him from racing,
But this special night was his.

No bolt or stitch could stop his itch for his long awaited treat 
He cut up some tea and cheese for rat and mouse to share,
Mouse sipped first and was the first to spit out,
Confusing the big old monster,
What's happened my friend, he said with a frown,
Rat giggling, now on the floor.

It wasn't water you used to make the tea
But hand sanitizer, is what you gave me,
Mouse now laughed and nodded his head
In my cup too, it smells.

Frankie blushed as he realised what he had done
His eyes danced with a little of laughter too.
When he saw that instead of water in the kettle, h
Heb boiled the hand sanitizer gel
And instead of tea, he kept everyone well.

Premium Member Love One Another Greatly

I glanced at him on his knees, donning tears and a robe.
Wiping bullets and blood off the streets.

He slowly made his way toward the broken business zone. 
A worn carpenter's belt in tow.
A soft light was around him.
The crowd began to grow.

He helped the last hatter board up his store.
A nail between his teeth.
Broken glass and bottle caps 
played taps to a windy city beat.
He placed a few signs in the ground.
That said, vote for candidate faith, believe in the divine. 

His time was up; it was time for him to go.
Once again, he was called back home. 
As he left, he turned around and simply said. 
"Love one another... greatly".

His cute button eyes, dares you to come hinder…

Maybe his tooth itches…suck, suck, suck,
Maybe he’s sucking the remains of chocolate candy,
Maybe he’s sucking off salt from the butted pop-corn,
Or maybe he just wants to rub his salivated wet fingers on ya!!! LOL!.

Oh! And not only just that;
He’ll dare you to come back;
He’ll finish his plate first;
Then give you a dirty look;
As he’s finishing your desert;
You see this toddler under three
Is the Grandson of PaPa James Edward Lee (Sr.)

Premium Member How To Feel

I shared with a poet
that I’m sad and angry
My heart is going to a place
it doesn’t want to be
I know you are hurting
you want to be free
But around that last corner
There are things you can’t see

Absence my friend 
does not remove suffering
It passes it to others
there’s no peace it can bring
it’s a cold and empty place
the ending of everything
Closing eyes, not waking
won’t make your heart fly or sing

I know I’m a small footnote
in a chapter of your story
Yet I want more for you
I wish for you to know Glory
So I’ll press one more time
make a moment feel like forty
I want more conversations
I pray You won’t be gone shortly

To me my friend
you are significant and matter
So my spirit feels anxious
I’m like the Mad Hatter
I climb up ten rungs
to try and meet you on your ladder
I don’t want you to jump
My heart’s heavy and grows sadder

So please tell me my friend
in your words how you feel
Even though I won’t  pretend okay
please know that my love is real
I will be with you now
at this junction on your wheel
Maybe we can just sit here together
because I don’t really know how to feel.

I wrote this piece from a friend’s perspective. He is distraught 
because his friend has chosen assisted suicide and the day
is quickly approaching. My heart and prayers go out to both
of them.

Premium Member The Mad Hatters

Madness, the Hatter blinks. 
Madness, Oz's link. 
Repercussions of concussions.
Madness was Portnoy's complaint**, 

Madness must reciprocate!

Hallucinations filter by....
Leary* winks at Dali's eye.
A house lands on Dorothy's thighs...
Chicken Little wanders by.
 
"Madness," Hitler's honcho’s sneer. 
Madness splices genes with fear. 
"Lobotomize!" becomes the cheer. 
Kellogg’s* enema's find waiting rears.

"Are you the ass? Or is it me? 
Have I ears and a nose? What do you see?"
"Hehawww," said Pinocchio's friends.
"Heeehaw," said Darwin* back again.

Round and round went Steven Hawkings*.
"Madness," said Lenore's raven* squawking.
"Madness," said Einstein* in a blink. 
"Reciprocate!," said the missing link.
