Long In spades Poems

On one dark and stormy night… on a local, lonely, wind swept moor,
A very young and slightly mad scientist did some craziness, for sure.
Now mind you, he was only 3 years young, but, yet, still...

Quatrain Poem (23 Stanzas)
Halloween Story-by Trevor McLeod

and integrity lives (for one can’t buy a gift!)
‘Good Samaritan’s...

Late on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day,
Inspiring nurses to insist the babe’s name be Patrick,
To which, my grandparents laughed and chose to obey.

Decades later, 
When my parents had their first son,

...So why do we keep ghosts in here
when by the day many folks die?

They had...

(A Marriage of Poems)

A single glance is an expression enough 
with eyes dotted with its punctual punctuation.
A sigh deep enough in loves' trough
that a trance can turn it blue, 
if only a beloved statuesque-

Valentines day is always something special to me, I explained.

Stepping heavy as the burden of my heart breaks
Heartfelt, never made an effort that was half-hearted  
enough to be coming at your heart in half-steps
Check my prints, my footsteps never matched them
The path I...

and lastly I'd like to thank my agent
Shifty Placard unkempt as they come

a little like Santa Claus and Nero
Shifty made me walk the line
between the rolling green hills of...

They don’t care about you and me 
They don’t feel the need to offer courtesy
They upset everybody

Our interaction with bureaucracy of any kind

In having our needs fulfilled

Nothing riles us as bad...

Your words, like ivy, wind and wind — ornate, impassioned, almost divine.?But I write now with a quieter pen, one that bleeds not drama but truth again.
You call me...

startling the cat, and interrupting a locomotive of thought
that often tracks me down in a beam of  light---

She never understood...
the pain her words inflicted.
Year after year the comments came....
like salt poured in an open wound.
She never understood before...

To all...

We were thick as thieves, two peas in a pod.
We stay with each other,...

I have a good friend who has been married five times.
In the beginning, she is so “in love”, sick to be around.
They cannot keep their hands off each other, like fifteen-year olds.
It was rather cute...

Stiletto stare, wicked, wild hair, barbwire takes me there
Daggers, switchblades, and razorblades
Wait did I not mention hand grenades
