Long Linus Poems

Charles Schulz Peanuts character Woodstock

courtesy holding fictional little yellow bird,
a mutual (of Omaha) best friend of...

LXII+ years old and he still carries a security blanket

Move over Linus
Van Pelt of Peanuts fame,
cuz yours truly
also psychologically lame
since prepubescence
mine noticeably long hair

delivered inner comfort,
yet found some classmates
calling me "hippy" by name
though other tormentors...

Loud laughed Pandrasus  Hear the mice roar 
yet stubborn Pandrasus swiftly gave chase
over the high mountain, through the deep forest
so easily he fell to the trap Brutus had laid
on Achelous's...

Previews were many for a series called "Lost"
The cast was extensive, oh what a cost!

When Oceanic 815 began its fated flight

Something went wrong, the plane began to fall
It crashed...

Is garlanded with evergreen limbs
Twined in white twinkling lights pinecones and fairy bells
And outside
From the dinner time dark that is a week before Christmas
Santa waves

Lit up like a little lantern

Linus sat complacent with his new blanket like a bum.
The old one was too holey; it gave no comfort like his thumb.
It would still wrap around him, but it lost its charm.
So he took another...

Well, it's half-past September.
Autumn and Fall are having their annual jurisdictional dispute
As to boundaries and length of contract.
The leaves are either burnt, flaming, a-flame, 
Blushing, scarlet, rosy, rusty, reddish, or foxy.
The pumpkins are waiting for...

The honorable Charlie Brown’s Christmas show is a stable in my house
As welcome as “not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”
Linus’s blanket was used to help the tree look prouder that day
I anticipate...

POEM FOR A LOST BROTHERMAN

Yo brother man
There is something
You need to understand.

They drowned her pappy’s pa
Who actually jumped overboard

From a China berry tree
For being uppidy;

She said...

His heads always in a fog
Thinking of some fun new ways
To steal a blanket each day

That turns Snoopy really "mad"
