improves moods and bad behavior
beware of its dangers

Twas the night before Christmas - came like a flash,
Mob of gingerbread reindeer prodding elves for cache.

The Clausman reigning, doling out orders this stint.
Lady of his, keeps his tongue supplied with peppermints.

The vainglorious list of...

He walks in and sees first the peppermints on my desk then me

“You sure do look pretty today.” He says while unwrapping the candy
I can tell by the way he's looking at me and not...

If you're sitting comfortably and have locked your mobile 'phones,
I'll tell you all a story about Indiana Jones
I met him on a wooden bench whilst strolling through a park
He was mumbling incoherently about some missing...

Adapting the Craft

			My father looked up Zealot Street
			toward the mountain where ore
			buckets hung to cart the coal.
			“Don’t go near the mine” he repeat-
			ed, the chant of elders who fore-

			He’d just...

As a little girl she loved western boots

Loved to pretend she was riding a giant horse

Pictures were all over the home of her and the white boots

When she got a little older she finally rode...

Look at this throne 
Riddled with cracks
And covered in bone
It's time to drop the facts

I'm the best at verse
When writing spoken word
It erupts in a burst
And you know I'll be heard

So just chill out
Listen to...

My Grandma smelt of peppermints. 
Her kitchen of boiling bacon, 
and margarine - it was always steamy 
and 'welcomingly' warm. 

The bathroom, off the kitchen, 
smelt of carbolic soap, and a layer 
of talcum powder...

one person understood me.
one person stopped the war in me.
to wipe away my tears in the night,
calling me sunshine, calling me blondie.
one person went so far away,
one person won't return.
another voice i cant ever hear,
another...

Lady Madonna  she's a lady street fighting man, when Julie comes 
around daughter of darkness.
All along the watchtower incense and peppermints; crimson and clover
not dark yet.
Angel of the morning keep me hangin on I...

Panagiota Romios

Spirited, elaborate and gracefully 
She weaves with ease her poetry
Wistful, yet strong, carries her own 
A starry queen on her exalted thrown        
She writes to please
Puts minds...

The Magic Of The Oak (Part 3 of 4)
A Green and White Production

My eyes, roaming free
Stared at that oak tree
How could a large room it conceal?
I saw a small road
and water, a boat
I'm dreaming, for...

Cowboy Joe

My dad Joe, often rode the circuit rodeo
He lasso'd horses from the word go
Often he'd break them for many a few
His lasso event went far, for his name's Joe

Many men tried to go faster...

Saint Monica Mission

Tots rushing and jostling, reaching for gifts
Three hundred and two presents we did carry 
We drove to the shore, used pallet jack lifts
Children gathered about cheerful and merry
Everywhere bows, ribbons, bright wrapping paper!
Sandcastles...

When lilly kisses rose..... 
and lilly i did know..
and trees i thought... 
grew very deep..
and lived...
within the forest...

and green...
the hay is sweet...
and brown...
dry moss asks why..

and lillies white...
remind the sky... 
sweet cotton.....

Dawn is more than what it seems

Take my hand, I’ll lead the way
through oatmeal frosted cookie fields
The two of us will run and play
enjoying all this morning yields

Candy coated pebble lanes
lined with chocolate butter creams
Fence...

Grandpa was quite an eccentric fellow.
Apple butter sweetened his coffee.
Wore high suspenders of red and yellow.
He'd slip me peppermints and toffee.

He'd lift me high on the shiny tractor.
We'd traverse the rows of citrus groves.
Of course...

Want you please speak to me in the 60's
In far out psychedelic rhymes
Take a ride beside the blacklight 
On the Velvet Underground 

Wake me up with the Strawberry Alarm Clock
Serving incense and peppermints in bed
Fixing...

Shall I contrast thee to a candied treat?
Thou art by far the tastier delight;
A nougat gobbled up is bittersweet,
With nothing left to nibble on or bite.
Sometime too sticky thick...

Parades prepared for pleasure and pageantry.
Phalanx of performers pound the pavement;
percussion sets the pace; piccolos lead.
Princes and princesses pass by on floats;
painted clowns pantomime, making kids smile
Patient pedestrians peddle their wares while
policemen patrol the streets...

Chocolate? Sure. I like it several ways.
With lots of sugars, layered, and with glaze.
With caramel and peanut butter every day.
Add some mint also, I’ll eat it that way.

Truffles wrapped in fancy foils. Oh, yum!
Crunchy Nestle...
