She heard this place had plenty, and a spooky atmosphere.
She’d have to pinch herself, ready to cheer…elated.
She’d spend a romantic weekend there with a freaking-out spouse.

He’s a scaredy-cat!...

in their heart and in their soul…something you can’t explain…

their eyes grow wide, they jump, they...

The evening dark and foggy as the children in their guises
with Mums and Dads in tow; collecting trick or treat surprises.

My porch, festooned with spiders, ghosts and ugly-looking gore,
signalled that I’d welcome them if they...

HERE COMES THE HUNGARIANS

A sign hangs like a star upon a building:
“HERE COME THE HUNGARIANS”
Delicious dishes that will please
The American and European palate.

My sisters on the right and my brother on the left,
Pressure cookers upon...

his sleight ordering the reindeer to fly away immediately

Body aching, heart breaking

The voice in my head 

Is telling me to stay in bed



First on my knees, thanking you

For another day light

Lord please strengthen me...

As nations lined up to watch it all pass by

We struggled along damp, smoke-filled streets;
leaves still summer green, 
a chilly breeze rustling some, turned golden early 
in anticipation of the fall.
Neil at one end of the log; 
me at the other.

Occasionally we paused our...

At first I wondered if all things have been said
already, spent
by poets of the past. They stole our words.
We found them stashed. We rearranged, often
deranged the lines with slash marks and nonsense.
Death was pretty back...

Independence Day has come and gone.... 
All magic has been trucked away to come again another day 
Sweltering, yet, in the dewy lawn,
is the fragrance of burnt offerings....
hovering low like a old gray ghost,

A small bouquet of white roses, their heady fragrance reached my nose.

She sits in a makeup prison of her own choosing,
mirroring her daytime as a domicile prima donna star
Always craving the wrong kind of attention,

Except the set of skills honed ekeing some more
This life's trapeze I swing wageless to survive,

Aside from her family, Mom considered it a special trove.
With that blackened old pan she prepared delicious repasts,

LOVE is raw
Really raw
HATE is raw
Really raw
Both with four letters
Bind and break

What you hate, love
Love is white
Hate is dark,
One letter short
As meaning drifts
Into the gory folds,
The wrinkled face
Of...
